#### Using Command Line Options

PC-DMIS Planner lets you launch the application and load a cad model into a new "Untitled" inspection plan, by using simple command line switches. These switches can be used with shortcuts, batch files, or command window prompts to help save time.

/DCTLOAD to load a supplied part model using the direct cad translators. You must specify the complete path and filename of the model before this switch.

/DCILOAD to load a file using Direct Cad Interfaces (DCI). You must specify the complete path and filename of the model before this switch.

/ISPROE to specify that the .prt file will be used in ProE (both UG and ProE use the same .prt filename extension). This follows the /DCILOAD switch.

DCI/DCT Examples

- This command line launches PC-DMIS and loads a .igs cad model using PC-DMIS Planner's Direct CAD Translators:
  C:\Program Files\Wai\Pcdmis Planner\InspectionPlanner.exe /DCILOAD:d:\partmodels\hexblock_wireframe_surface.igs

- This command line launches PC-DMIS and loads a .prt cad model from the UG DCI:
  C:\Program Files\Wai\Pcdmis Planner\InspectionPlanner.exe /DCILOAD:d:\partmodels\hexblock.prt

- This command line launches PC-DMIS and loads a .prt cad model as a ProE DCI:
  C:\Program Files\Wai\Pcdmis Planner\InspectionPlanner.exe /DCILOAD:d:\partmodels\proe.prt /ISPROE
