That really depends on this third party software you want to use. It is possible that .xml file generated with "Generate EtherCAT XML" will not be recognized as valid ENI file.
Anyway, "Generate EtherCAT XML" command is not available through standard menus and needs to be added via Tools->Customize and then Add Command. You'll find it under "Devices" section.
If you provide more info, we might be able to help you further.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
An ENI file is needed for a 3rd party software solution that is being used over EtherCAT connection that emulates multiple Slave devices.
This one cant be that complex, seen some legacy posts but no answers.
Thank you!

I think this is really now "Generate EtherCAT XML" command which gives the ENI topology info.
