Re: Understanding Scripts
Hi Andy,
I'm going to hijack Spitforty's thread a bit, cause we are kind of looking at the same thing over at the Aerofly/IPACS forum. I've been reading a bit about the scripts on this sub forum, and I keep seeing references to telnet and shell sessions: Quote:
Also, is there a bit more detailed doco on each tcl function, maybe part of the SDK? I have a list of commands, but I'm a little bit unsure what arguments they take. Thanks in advance, coffeecup |

Re: Understanding Scripts
Sorry, the commands are self-documenting .
The best way to find out what the parameters mean is to look at the tcl code that calls AC3D - mostly in the menu code in tcl/ac3dmenu.tcl. If you can't work something out - let me know. It's easy enough to make a script which pops up a window which say a list of button in it. Pressing the buttons can run one or more command. There may be some examples on here... |

Re: Understanding Scripts
Here's a an example, which you might also find quite handy for the Aerofly stuff:

Re: Understanding Scripts
Hi Andy,
I think I might not have described too well what I was after, but in the end I figured out I could go into Advanced Settings and enable "Allow Socket commands" and telnet into 1655 to execute the ac3d commands. This will allow me to explore the commands and perhaps create some batch operations to speed up my designs. I thought I had looked over the main script threads in the forum, but I could not find anywhere where it was mentioned, but it probably was me looking in the wrong place. Thanks again for getting back to me. -Coffeecup |
