how to import BC3 file to BCM


Hi,
I'm learning to use Allplan BCM 2013, and I need import BC3 file to ALLPLAN BCM QUANTITIES, to connect this BC3 data base with the KATLG data base into ALLPLAN.

Maybe You have the possibility to create a *.txt file.
Then you can use the menu project data > data import

Thanks for your answer. I will try to sort the file BC3.
I need more information: how it is structured .XCA file type, and file .GAEB file type.

Hi joerg!

First of all, thanks for your answer. After studying the two files, and undertanding the internal structure, I'm trying to import the file "mengen.xca" inside Allplan BCM, using:
"Project data" -> "Data import", but throws this error -> "Unexpected format of file Mengen.xca. Unable to impoort this file."

What are we doing wrong when importing xca file inside Allplan BCM?
Thanks a lot!

I will formulate the question from another way: How to import correctly a xca file from Allplan to Allplan BCM. After several tests, we detect that the format of the columns of "xca file" changes it, depending from the report that it was generated.

What is the correct report to use in Allplan, for a correct import in to Allplan BCM?

Thanks a lot!
