Transfer images between repositories
« on: May 11, 2012, 11:08:56 pm »
Is there any way to easily...
- Export selected images from a Repository A, and then
- Import these images in a Repository B?

Thanks

I think using 'Project->Model Import/Export->Export Reference Data' and selecting 'Model Images' should do the job. Vice versa for import ...

Edit:
Aah, I've overseen 'selected images' in your question, not so sure if you can select particular images before exporting them.

You can't. Only after exporting them to XML you can edit the XML and delete the superfluous ones.

So is there any access to this functionality at all in the Automation API? Can I call the 'export/import reference data' functions from a script or AddIn?  I don't see any way to do it off hand.

I haven't see that too. Funny though as it is quite easy to create the export via the right SQL query which by the way already delivers XML. So it's quite simple to create the desired output format.
