Run XML Script from the Command Line

It is possible to execute a XLM script file from the command line or from batch file.

Open the Windows command and enter the OCAD program name and the xml script file. For example: "C:\Program Files\OCAD\OCAD 11\Ocad11.exe" "C:\Data\ExportScriptExample_PDF.xml"

Do not forget to use the parameter <File.Open> to open the file, <File.Close> to close it and <File.Exit> to close OCAD.
