In case somebody need it:

ros2 run xacro xacro -o robot.urdf robot.urdf.xacro

robot.urdf is the output file and robot.urdf.xacro is the file you want to convert

Better use the command as intendet:

rosrun xacro xacro --inorder -o model.urdf model.urdf.xacro

A proper xml will be generated with a banner saying that the file was auto generated and should not be edited.

Could you please provide an example? This is not very clear to me!

In the most recent versions, xacro.py is deprecated, so something like the following works:

rosrun xacro xacro --inorder model.urdf.xacro > model.urdf

Hello,

I tried this command but nothing happened. A file is created on the same directories.

rosrun xacro xacro.py arm.urdf.xacro > arm.urdf

is their something wrong with this command

there is nothing wrong with your command. If arm.urdf.xacro contains the xacro macros, arm.urdf should have the corresponding expanded xml's. If you have more detailed question, please post arm.urdf.xacro and the resulting arm.urdf.
