  • Hi,

    You can use the output of function axlUIPrompt to store in your variable.

  • Hi Pawan,

    I want to record script and then replay it but with another value.

    For example i want to export DXF file so i go to : File -> Script -> Record

    I record the script filling the form window with name "First".

    Now i want to export DXF file named "Second" using the same script,

    So i want the name  "Second" to be filled instead of "First".

    Is it possible to do so?

    BR,

  • Hi,
     
    You should consider generating dxf using your recorded script with a temporary file name and then renaming this file using your skill(both task performed in a single SKILL code).
    For renaming a file there is a function available

    renameFile( "old" "new" )

  • You can utilize Allegro variable substitution.

    - Record a starting script

    - edit the file to add variable substitutioncapability

    Example if you want dxf output file to be variable in your just recorded script you will see a line the script like:

       FORM dxf_out dxffile foo

    Change this to take advantage of variable substitution:

       FORM dxf_out dxffile $mydxfile

     Now you can either call this script from another script or take advantage of command chaining to set the variable

    "set mydxffile foo; replay myscript"

    If you worry about the script being called without the variable being set add before the variable an ifnvar line  to defauly the variable to a default value:

      ifnvar  mydxfile "set mydxfile foo"

  •  You've understood my question in exact way!!!

    Crystal clear answer!!!!

    Huge thank YOU !!!

    BR,
