RVM File Converter
We can't convert AVEVA Plant Model (RVM) files — here's what does work.
Why RVM can't be converted here
RVM is AVEVA PDMS's own closed format. Its internal structure is proprietary, so no open-source library can read it — which is why no converter outside AVEVA PDMS can open your file.
What does work: open the file in AVEVA PDMS and export it as STEP. We convert STEP reliably.
