Open Plant drawing from cmd

[kdaTZK4A]

I would like to be able to open a dwg in a project from command line or cmd.

I found a solution to open with a script file as a parameter like this:
acad.exe /product PLNT3D /language "en-US" /b "OpenProject.scr"

The script file opens a project and subsequently a dwg.
filedia 0 openproject "C:\Sandbox 2\Project.Xml" open "C:\Sandbox 2\PID DWG\211.dwg" filedia 1

This works fine when I run the script from Plant

When I start plant from cmd it look like it does what it is supposed to in the Script but with the I get a lot of errors and end up not opening the project or file.
Have tried with cmd as admin without success.

How do I open a Plant Project and dwg the right way from cmd? 

Looks like a permission issue.

I would like to know how to do this too.

I need to open some dwg files in plant3D, execute some commands, and close those files.

Let's see if someone can help us with this.

Edit: I can open every dwg file in a folder. First, in cmd I need to be located in the folder where the files I want to open are, using the cd command. Then I execute the following line to open all the dwg files in this folder:

for %F in (*.dwg) do start "" "%F"

Now I need to know how to run Autocad commands on each of the files

If your'e not going to use AutoLISP or the .net API, the best option is to use scripting as mentioned above. Here is a link that should help get you started in scripting in AutoCAD:

Hi Matt,

Thank you for replaying.

But it is for Windows Command Line I need a solution to open a dwg file in Plant 3D. I was not to clear about that in the original post I admit.

Hello Kasper,
If you are going to go the route of using the Windows command prompt, your script is most likely the best option. You can see an example here of vanilla AutoCAD using ACCoreConsole. It uses bat and scr files.

AutoCAD has limitations as to what you can do in a Windows Command prompt as well as limitations using AutoLISP in Plant 3D. Using the .net API is the most robust option for manipulating Plant 3D drawings with code. If you are going after basic AutoCAD commands, you can fall back to using a bat file and a script or AutoLISP.
