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.

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