[CONNECT] - Level purge

Hello guys,

First of all, thank you for your replies. I think I wasn't clear in the first message but the key in i used is sending the level "CâblesBT" into the level "PGOC_BT_CONSTRUIT".

I've tried with the double quotes like you suggested, but unfortunately and once again as it works in the command line it doesn't with the batchprocess script.

I am currently using the batch process tool of Microstation.

I am going to add my dgn and the details of my project so you may understand or have a look at my project. The idea is to send levels into other ones and delete them, plus delete some other which I am struggling to have these removed, the levels seem to be empty and yet not removable, I am talking about all the levels that begin with "Montataire". So if you can help me on this one too, it would be great.

for the Montataire I used the key delete unused levels but it doesn't seem to work.

So here is the key-ins I used and worked in the command line but not in the script. It is not the script I used just an example of the key in used as I tried to make them run, one by one.

Also the key ins are working in the command line with and without the double quotes.

And I don't know if I have to use the filedesign and the compress key-ins at the end of my script to save the changes or not.

filedesign

Unfortunately the dgn i am working on is too big so I can't add it to this message. If you guys have an alternative way to post 15mb dgn files, I am all ears.

Looking forward to hearing from you guys.

Thanks.

Hi,

Try changing the code page for the batch-file. Since your level name has special characters it might cause problems in scripts. Try switching between ANSI and UTF-8.

/Krister

I've just changed it from UTF-8 to ANSI and it seems to work. That is great I am going to build a full script with all my key-ins to see if it will work but thanks for the tip Krister.

can you explain how to do that.. ?

I've never had to but good to know just incase

Open the text file up in Notepad++. On the menu, go to Encoding > Convert to UTF-8

Hi Lorys,

When you open a text you just go in File>Save As> and then in the bottom of the window you will find a list to change that

thx

thx
