Export to PCF

Anonymous — Mon, 23 Jul 2018 19:09:30 GMT

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to export a .dwg file into a .pcf file, but when I go to the data manager and right click items on the left hand tree, exporting to .pcf is not an option. The only options available are .xls, .xlsx, and .csv (not sure what that is). I appreciate any and all help. Thank you!

Is your Data Manager tree ordered by area?

Read this article.

Click on the Iso's tab in the ribbon and then click on the "Export to PCF" from there

There is PCF folder which contain pcf files generated simultaneously with production isos. So if you have already done iso generation you only need to find folder named after iso name style in your project catalog. There will be three folders: PCFs, ProdIsos and Quick Isos. Open PCF in case you have done previously iso generation.

I did not have my tree ordered by area! Thanks everyone. The real question, is how do I rename the areas? Everything is named as unassigned. So now that I go to export each area, it only updates the one file in my dedicated folder.
