ITOs and Autorun

BIMGOAT

Has anybody tried Excel Template Report, it’s not working for me. It crashes.

Matti

Could you check the log files. There is also separate autorun.log.

Check the paths.

You also try this one:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<batch name="Simple Batch" default="root">
<!-- This is the starting task -->
<target name="root">

<openmodel file="C:\Users\Public\Solibri\SOLIBRI\Samples\ifc\Solibri Building.ifc" />

<openito file="C:\Users\Public\Solibri\SOLIBRI\Information Takeoff\Spaces.ito" />
<takeoff name="Spaces" />
<itoreport name="Spaces" file="C:\Users\Public\Solibri\SOLIBRI\Samples\Spaces Simple.xlsx" />
<itoreport name="Spaces" file="C:\Users\Public\Solibri\SOLIBRI\Samples\Spaces with Template.xlsx" reportTitle="Report" templatefile="C:\Users\Public\Solibri\SOLIBRI\Information Takeoff\Templates\Spaces.xlsx" />

<exit />
</target>
</batch>

As result of previous autorun you will get:

Solibri 9.12.8 Developer Platform documentation is published.
It includes the new autorun features.

I use a custom made template that works perfectly when using it in Solibri, to generate the report from template.

I’ll try the example you’re suggesting but there’s an error at the moment when starting Solibri Office.

This is from the autorun log file when it crashes on the last task that’s the ito template report.

Is it required to have an ITO in the SMC file with the exact same content as the report template?
When using the report template in Solibri this is not a requirement, put perhaps using Autorun it is required?

</target>
</batch>

Same for me, the one you suggest to try works great.

Yet I get the same error when using a template that we use to extract model timestamps.

This is the content of the template, works when reporting ito in Solibri, with Autorun it crashes.

It works for me now after adding this line:

<openito file="C:\Users\Public\Solibri\SOLIBRI\Information Takeoff\Modellist.ito" />
<takeoff name="Modellist" />

No more crash!

@bim1337

There is a problem with ITO template reports that happens with some .ito files.

There is a workaround for the problem:

Open the ITO
Report once with any template
Save ITO

This will be fixed to next release.
