Model Browser Tree - how to predefine it ?

[MxxxxxxxxxxxxxM]

Hi for all,

I am using Patran 2010 now. Everytime when I open Patran, I have to turn on Model Browser Tree (MBT) and set up all settings.

I want to have predefined MBT - fonts, transparency, turn on filter, size; and I want to have such my custom setting for MBT always loaded when I open Patran.

Do You know how to do it?

I know, that it is not possible to record a sesion file in order to catch manual settings for MBT. Maybe I should add some variables to p3prolog.pcl? or something? I think, that "SimAcademy Webinar Archive: Patran Customization - Tailoring Your Patran Work Environment " could be helpfull, but it doesnot work in

:/ maybe, somebody have it? if so, please give me a link to it


I would be greatfull for any help or ideas


Best regards,
Mike.

hello,

I have found something:

function to show BMT is: toggleModelTree()
function to show BMT setup: config_display()

They can be executed in command window in Patran.

My question is: do You know what arguments can be used for toggleModelTree() or config_display() ?

... I have also found in Nastran manual for MBT:

"Configuration settings and other state information (visibility, show transparent RMB option) are stored and retrieved from the patran_conf.ini file." There is also wrotten, that I can find this file in HOME directory or in current directory. I checked that, but I have no such file anywhere :/

My question is: Do You have such file? If yes, please, could You check what is there? I want to know what should I write, when I want to create patran_conf.ini by myself.

put the 2 lines at the end of your 'init.pcl' file, and it will do the job.
