Publishing Files Using the Command Line
This is the basic syntax for a publishing command:
<batch_script> [options] <ecad_data>
To publish schematics from CR-5000 System Designer, use these arguments:
pvecad2pvs.exe [-pvs][-bom] [-p output folder] [-o basename]
<cir dir full path> <htb file path> <evf file path>
Follow the steps below to execute the publish command for designs from other tools.
1. In a command shell, navigate to the directory with the ECAD data to convert, and then press ENTER.
2. Type the batch file name, a space, and the name of the design to convert, and then press ENTER.
* 
To convert two or more files at once, type each file name, separated by a space. You can also use wildcards.
The files are converted using the batch script, and they are placed in the output location you set.
