Outputs 3D models (bars, assemblies and infills) to an XML file. This file can be read in with an ERP system (ERPlus).
When you execute the command, the Dialog box Projects is displayed. Here, you select the job containing the objects which you want to export and then close the dialog box with OK. A dialog box follows where you have to specify the storage location and the name of the XML file. Once you have done that, the XML file is generated.
Note 
• The data in the XML file can be used in ERP systems and includes all the relevant data (e.g. quantities) for the cost calculation, warehousing, etc.
• The XML file contains no geometrical information.
• Bars and infills must have been allocated to a job with the Project browser. Refer also to Project browser.
 
If you use ERPlus from T.A.Project, you can also transfer the item number of standard parts you are using in the drawing.
