/converttoctx

For: CimEdit only

Reads each of the files on the command line and writes them out again in text format, changing the extension to .ctx .

You can use the text format to make modifications to the screen file with a text editor.

Note:

Do not use text files as the primary file format in a production environment, as they take longer to read and process.
Make sure to include in the command line the complete path to the file.
(Required) Update any older version .cim screen to the current version before you convert it to a .ctx file.

This is required in order for the conversion to be completely successful.

Example

cimedit.exe /converttoctx C:\Proj\scr1.cim C:\Proj\scr2.cim
