Creating an XML Transfer File of Materials
You can create an XML file of the project materials. If you are using the DesignStream Interface add-on feature, the file will be transferred into the DesignStream system when the project is checked in. You can utilize the XML file in the DesignStream system in tender calculations, for example.
- Select Output | Materials | Collect > XML.
The program will collect all materials in the project in a components.xml file and save the file in the project folder.
- Save the project by pressing Ctrl+S, and the project document browser is updated. You can open the file for viewing from the document browser. Open the Reports branch in the document browser, and double-click the name of the file. The file is opened in the application associated with the XML file extension.
- If the DesignStream add-on feature is available to you, export the project to the DesignStream system.
