Here is the link for the SDEF file converter written by myself.

Please note that it’s not tested yet. It takes me 2 days to code all major routines.

However due to the SDEF format limitations there are some pitfalls in conversion (Budgeted Cost, etc). I’m planning to add the errors warning in the future release.

However your recommendation will be highly appreciated.

P3SDEF was specifically written to output the required data in SDEF (Standard Data Exchange Format). Further information (including software download) is in the Primavera Knowledge Base if you search for SDEF.



Dayanidhi….the US Corp of Army Engineers developed the format so that they can accept PM data from any software that outputs data in this format. The advantage to them is that they can deal with many organizations using various software tools and analyze and exchange the data electronically. The advantage to the user is that that can submit (and hopefully win) a complying bid.

Hello, Serge.



Since SDEF format is well specified it’s not a very serious problem to write a converter in any language (I prefer VB/VBA because of simplicity). I’ll try to write this program by myself when time permits.

Cheers, Andrew
