GDL batch edit

[Paul King]

Hi - I am wondering how I can edit around 900 GDL objects simultaneously, in order to creates some parametric control of 2D & 3D display properties ?

[Karl Ottenstein]

Yes, but it would require some knowledge of scripting languages, such as Perl/etc. Most easily done on a Mac since Unix and all of that stuff is included.

You would need to use the XML converter to convert your 900 parts to (text) XML format, run your script to insert the new parameters, modify the 2D script and add the rotate prefix code to the 3D script, then run the converter to convert the XML to gsm.

Cheers,
Karl

Thanks Karl - good to know it is possible! An interesting challenge getting to grips with / learning the external scripting process... but as usual I have to have it done yesterday! .. Oh well....
