When you have defined your project and updated the tool schema, use the Material Data & SmartPlant Publisher utility again to extract the model data into two files (.zvf and .xml). The .zvf file contains the PDS graphical data and the .xml file contains the object property information. The Generate SIO Utility only supports PDS zvf and .xml files, not PDS legacy files.
