Export underlying data to XML or database

[RVijay]

Hi all!

I am new to autoplant p&ID; I am attempting to export one wor multiple drawing(s) as an XML file or access database to get all underlying data (what fittings or on the line,m what instruments are on the loop, etc) quicly to another product so that I can fill in data from autoplant p&ID to my product. Is there an XML, excel or accesss exxport reaadily available or I have to use the database. I dont have a through undertsanding of thee data structure.

I'm sorry I don't know how to do this. However out of curiosity, what other product?

I was thinking about how nice it would be to have a XML export function, but I can't get away from the fact that the database is a pretty easy thing to get to and pull data out of.

I am attempting to swap data from Hysys/AspenPlus/IPE to Autoplant and back from Autoplant P&ID to IPE/Hysys/Aspenplus; I am aware of Autoplant's own product to do this; but I wish to get more/less data from the P&ID database into the above products. Simply speaking, I want to get as much of the project scope covered, as early as possible in the project lifecycle.


It looks like the database queries and exports is the only way out.

check the discussion on this forum about the filterd reports. It uses msaccess forms inside AutoPLANT's DATA Manager. You could use them to filter data per drawing and add an XML export button.
