    Applies To
    Product(s): AutoPIPE
    Version(s): ALL;
    Area: Translator
    Date Logged
    & Current Version
    Dec 2019
    12.02.00.14

    Problem:

    Where to find documentation on PCF translator?

    Solution:

    AutoPIPE's PCF translator is constantly evolving as required to handle PCF files generated by multiple different programs (Smartplant,Cadworks, AutoDesk Inventor, etc..). But where should one look to  find help information about the program. 

    PCF translator 01.00.00.81 and higher:

    All information about the program has been added into the programs' help command. Just open the program, select Help> Contents> and navigate / search the help as currently done in AutoPIPE. 

    PCF translator 01.00.00.80 and lower:

    Earlier versions of AutoPIPE's PCF translator installed a complete manual about the application. See the following file and location for more details for the manual:

    File name: 

    SmartPlantToAutoPIPETranslator_UserReference.pdf

    File locations:

    a. C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\AutoPIPE Translators

    b. C:\Bentley\AutoPIPE Translators\PCF Translator \
