Export using Non-graphics Mode

When in non-graphics (TTY) mode special attention must be given to using the correct command line syntax for exporting the correct graphics settings in the IFC file. Principally, the autocolour flag must be set, and the colours assigned to all or particular elements for export.

For example, the PML below exports everything on colour 1:

EXPORT SYSTEM /explantmcad

EXPORT OPTION 'FORMAT' 'IFC2x3'

EXPORT FILE /OUTPUT.IFC OVERWRITE

EXPORT AUTOCOLOUR ON

EXPORT AUTOCOLOUR ALL COL 1

EXPORT /E1301

EXPORT FINISH

Colours can be assigned to individual elements in the following manner:

EXPORT /MAINFRAMES COLOUR 1

EXPORT /5MT/PIVOT/BOGIE COLOUR 13

…

EXPORT /BUFFERBEAM COLOUR 16

Finer graphical detail can be achieved using syntax options in the expcol railtrack diagram.
