Cam export to pxml has wrong headers

Collective
1

hello people i have a progress mesh welding machine which only uses pxml format,now when i create meshes in revit and export to pxml the machine gives error

The xml namespace is already defined incorrectly in the file header (this is usually an export setting in CAD):

 

Instead of the: <PXML_Document xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance xmlns:xsd=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema>

 

This must be in the header: <PXML_Document xmlns=http://progress-m.com/ProgressXML/Version1>

can you help me figure out how to correct this

Hi, Welcome,

without the code, certainly not.
the error mentions you need to replace one header by another.
just making a routine to change it with txt related modules of python should do

sorry noobie here ,the correct file code looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

The incorrect file looks like this

Hi @himurae, as @Jean-Marc already wrote, we can’t help you if you don’t show us at least the code snippets that you use to export the pxml.

Or are you manually exporting them? If so, this is not a pyRevit question, and any tool that can do search and replace on a text file will do the job.
