TiCon ProKon > Import from ProKondigital

An import function is available for importing and using existing ProKondigital analyses in TiCon4.

In Explorer, in the ribbon, in the Data Exchange group, there is an option called ProKondigital Files under the Import button. The entry is only visible if a license for the ProKon module is active.

Clicking on the button opens a file selection dialog for selecting one or more files.

Only ProKon M analyses can be imported. If the file contains ProKon A analyses, a warning is displayed for each ProKon A analysis that import is not supported.

The elements (ProKon analyses) in TiCon are given a generated code in the form "P-yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff". If the code already exists in the database, another code is used. The user can then assign a different coding by using the mass function.

From the ProKondigital file the following information is transferred to TiCon:

TiCon ProKon	ProKondigital

Note:
If the number of number of pos. locations > 20, an error message is displayed and not the complete analysis is imported.

The element configuration used for ProKon analyses is the first one available in the current folder that is of the “ProKon Analysis” element type and has the Assembly Steps tab active.
