About Exporting and Importing Track Files

Selected fitting Tracks can be exported in the form of an xml file.

Only fitting Tracks can be exported: other types of Tracks such as kinematic Tracks cannot be exported.

Fitting Tracks can be exported from the following contexts:

• Track under Excitations (Simulation context)
• Track under operation (Production System context)
• Track under resource (Resource context)
• Track for item

The Track File Export command is used for exporting the following information related to the selected Tracks into an xml file.

• Name of the Track
• Total time of the Track
• Speed of the Track
• Type of interpolation
• Track mode (speed and/or time)
• Trajectory line color, weight and type
• T-Point color and pattern
• Anchor position
• For each T-Point: position, offset, duration, and name
• For each moving object: name of the object moved, moving object offset relative to anchor, and external identifiers of all the instances in the path of first instances.

By default, the exported xml file is named 'Tracks.xml'. It is possible to provide a customized name.

Previously exported Tracks can be imported into the current V6 session. The Tracks are created in the session depending on the current context and the available moving objects.

The Track File Import command is used for importing Tracks from a previously exported xml file.

When Track is imported:

• The trajectory is created
• All the legitimate moving objects in the context of the selected reference are added as moving objects in this Track.
• Any moving objects that are not legitimate in the context of the selected reference are not added to this Track as moving objects.
• If there are no legitimate moving objects in the context of the selected reference, only the trajectory visualization is created. You are allowed to edit the Track and add new legitimate moving objects to this Track.
