Archicad version variable?

Anonymous — Mon, 31 Mar 2014 00:48:48 GMT

I am new to learning a bit more about GDL, so I aplogise if this question is stupid.

Is there a way in GDL to identify the version of Archicad that is running (eg: as displayed in the license information dialog box v17, build 5019)?.

I thought it might be a global varialbe, but cannot find anything documented.

Thanks,

No not Globals.
Take a look at the REQ function.

REQ(GDL_version), REQ(Program)

Or maybe REQUEST('Name_of_program', "", program_name)

Barry.

Hi Barry,
Thank you for pointing out the REQUEST function - I missed it completely! That should do what I am after.
