Altiumr To Xpeditionr Translator User Guide Exclusive
For enterprise migrations of 100+ boards, the GUI is slow. Use the exclusive CLI script.
Create a .bat file:
@echo off
set TRANSLATOR_PATH="C:\Siemens\Xpedition\VX.2.14\SDD_HOME\translators\altium\Altium2Xpedition.exe"
for %%f in (*.PcbDoc) do (
echo Translating %%f...
%TRANSLATOR_PATH% -i "%%f" -o ".\Output\%%~nf" -m "standard_map.xml" -quiet
)
echo All jobs complete.
