Problem

InterPlot Design Script, want to test off the reference file name rather than the logical name. Which comparison keyword is used?


Solution

Example:

ip_logical_index = lname
if (ip_short_ref_filename == "ref.dgn") then
color = (255,0,0)
endif

The key is to use ip_logical_index = lname and the ref files have got to have a logical name even though we’re not testing off it. Also, ip_short_ref_filename will test off the file name only, and ip_ref_filename will test off the folder and file name. A wildcard can also be used (if ip_ref_filename == “*ref.dgn�)
