Export Commands

The following commands relate to the export of the final solution and are applicable to all projects.

Command	-expprofile# [input]
Example	-expprofile1 Geographic
Description	Specifies the profile to be used when writing the formatted solution to disk.

Notes	You can use one of the software's built-in profiles or customize one through the interface. The # designator must be 1...8 to uniquely identify the export.
Required?	No. But if the -expprofile# is used, then this command is required.

Command	-expfile# [input]
Example	-expfile1 "C:\My Data\final_solution.txt"
Description	Specifies the name given to the output file.
