Conversion of files from command prompt window using Solid Edge

[akcad]

According to the thread below it is possible to use sestep.exe for converting in batch mode. Does anyone know if it is possible to use Solid Edge for converting files from a Windows command prompt window?

It's not clear to me what you mean.

Hi!
Thank you for letting me explain.
I want to know if anyone knows if it possible to use Solid Edge to convert STEP-files to SAT-format from a command line (so it is not sestep.exe but seacis.exe that would be the closest candidate). I want to write a script which executes the conversion so i do not want to use a GUI.

There are two programs, seacis.exe which is a GUI-based conversion tool and seacistrans.exe which might be possible to use, but I have not succeeded.

Not sure if the SAT file type is included but look into the C:\Program Files\Solid Edge ST7\Program\SolidEdgeTranslationServices.exe.

The command line switches available for SolidEdgeTranslationServices are:

–i = input file

–o = output file

–t = what format to convert to (i.e. pdf, tif, dwg, jt, bmp, igs, etc.)

–w = width

–h = height

–r = resolution (100,200,300,600,1200)

–c = colour depth (1,8,24 where 1=MONOCHROME, 8=256 COLORS, 24=TRUE COLOR)

–v = visibility of Solid Edge (TRUE, FALSE)

–q = image quality (LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH)

–m = multiple sheets (TRUE,FALSE)
