ORM Designer command line support

Open a project

If you want to open existing ORM Designer project directly from command line, you can use following command line parameters. If project path contains blank characters, use quotation.

OrmDesignerCore.exe PROJECT_PATH

OrmDesignerCore.exe -open-project PROJECT_PATH

Result of both parameters is the same

Import a project

To run ORM Designer and open Import new project wizard tool, use following parameters:

OrmDesignerCore.exe -import-project

To pass additional parameters to the import wizard, use following:

Predefined ORM

Use this parameter if you want to pre-select ORM framework name. Name of this framework equals to the ORM name in configuration files (e.g. doctrine, propel):

-input-orm ORM

Predefined MVC

Use this parameter if you want to pre-select MVC framework name. Name of this framework equals to the MVC name in configuration files (e.g. symfony, cakephp).

-input-mvc MVC

Predefined directory

Use this parameter to pre-select project root directory. If path contains blank chars, use quotation.

-input-dir PATH
-input-dir "PATH WITH SPACES"

Predefined new project name

Use this parameter to pre-fill new project name. If name contains blank chars, use quotation.

-input-project-name NAME
-input-project-name "NAME WITH SPACES"

Root file path

If you want to store ORM Designer root file (this file contains project meta data) to another location then change project root dir. If path contains blank spaces, use quotation.

-input-project-root-file PATH
-input-project-root-file "PATH WITH SPACES"

Usage example

OrmDesignerCore.exe -import-project -input-dir c:\ORM -input-orm Doctrine -input-mvc Symfony -input-project-name "Test Import" -input-project-root-file c:\result.ormdes
