Command Files
Command files can be used to create new command scripts that perform automation, or to recover previously performed steps.
While the application is open, it generates a file named command<#>.tcl on Windows, and command.tcl on Linux. This file is created at the start of a session if it does not exist. If the file already exists, the application adds the commands for the new session to the end of the original file.
Each time the application performs an operation that modifies something in the database,
such as, create an entity, modify a value, import a model, and so on, the commands that are used to perform the operation, as well as any
subsidiary commands, are written to the command file. These commands are known as
. As an example, if you are in the Delete panel and decide to delete all of the elements in the model,
the commands written out are:
*createmark elements 1 "all"
*deletemark elements 1
You can access the command file by clicking menu bar.
