from other Windows application. Running conversion in batch-mode will

use cm.exe (Conversion Module) application which can be
found in Solution Box intallation directory. Below you can find more details
about conversion module parameters.

Conversion Parameters:
-solution:path
-s:path |
Full path of Soultion File that will be used by conversion module to perform
conversion. User is able to prepare conversion solution in Conversion Solution
Box application or using Conversion Wizard . Once
solution is stored to disk, it may be further used by conversion module
(cm.exe) to perform conversion. This parameter is mutually exclulsive with
-file one.

|
Using this option user is able to import definition of tools (with their
settings) from existing Solution File. Path should

cm.exe -file:"C:\source.dwg"
-template:"C:\mysolution.c2cs" -logtofile:"C:\Conversion\report.txt"
Line above will launch conversion in batch mode and program will
