Nmt2Cnd Operating Instructions

To operate the nmt2cnd, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Shut down CND if it is running.

Step 2 Launch nmt2cnd by clicking on the icon. You should see an MFC menu with the following three selections: File, Export, and Help.

Note Select File from the menu. Then select open NMT cnf.... Navigate to find and open your CNF file. nmt2cnd will read the cnf file, and look for a partlist.dbf file in a sub directory with the same name as the cnf file. To create the partlist.dbf file, run the Execute command. Use the NMT to run the Route, Optimize or Build Sites commands.

Step 3 A pop up window appears, listing sites, links, and part candidate counts. Click on OK. Step 4 Select Load from the menu. Then select Import into CND.

Step 5 CND will launch, and the project loads. No messages are displayed in CND unless the project name already exists, in which case you will see a message that your project has been renamed to Project<n>.

Step 6 Bring the nmt2cnd window to the foreground while you wait for a message box displaying the status of the load. This message will tell you how many parts were accepted and rejected from the load.

Note This step could take 5 minutes or more for large networks and there is no feedback as to the status yet.

Step 7 Click OK.

You can now use CND to explore what you’ve loaded. Before modifying the project further, close nmt2cnd.

Note Do not close CND directly, and do not close the project or open other ones. When you are done working on the CND, close nmt2cnd, which will close CND. You can then reopen CND and work normally.

Installing The DBF2Cnd Utility

The DBF2CND utility is located in the nmt\bin directory on your hard drive. Before starting the DBF2CND utility, move the SSI macro from the c:\nmt\ssi directory to the c:program files\Microsoft Office\Office\XLStart directory. If Excel is running, shut it down and restart it.
