Programmatically invoke FPGA IP Export option from build spec

[usman66]

Hi,

I need to programmatically invoke the "Export VI to netlist file" option in the FPGA VI build spec. 

I have seen examples of programmatically invoking multiple FPGA compiles like in

https://forums.ni.com/t5/Example-Code/Programmatically-Build-Replicate-FPGA-Build-Specification-and/...

Can these be adapted to launch the IP export option? 

I tried digging into \vi.lib\rvi\CDR but haven't been able to figure out how to do it, since there is no documentation. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I am asking around regarding this.  The CDR folder is the right place to look but my experience is the same as yours.

How critical is this automation to your work?

We have developed an extensive IP library in LabVIEW FPGA that we need to export in small pieces so this automation will help a great deal since manual export is too tedious.
