This contextual command allows to know the system name of a parameter to be able to use it for example in Microsoft Excel with the Excel link command.

 

Creation stages / Use:

 

  1. Start TopSolid with the -a or /a argument in the shortcut, you should have something like "C:\Program Files\TOPSOLID\TopSolid 7.x\bin\TopSolid.exe" /a

  2. Select the Others > System name... from the contextual menu on a parameter in the entities tree.

 

 

  • The name can be copy/paste in Excel.(see the Excel link help for an example).

  • It must be completely copied without the '$' character.

  • This name is a system name. It can not be modified.

 

 

To have the System name command, you have to start TopSolid in advanced mode. You have to create a new TopSolid shortcut, edit its properties (contextual menu)  and add /a or -a to the target. You should have something like this:

"C:\Program Files\TOPSOLID\TopSolid 7.x\bin\TopSolid.exe" /a
