How do I find where my CGM plots are going?
Description:
When not using the auto/delete option in IESX where do my saved cgm files go so I can use that same cgm file to plot again to make multiple copies, and how do I do that if I'm using ZEH rendering software?
Solution:
In an IESX xterm, launched out of Geonet, type %cd $IESX_METAPATH. If you are not using Geonet, in an xterm type %source /home/gqs/setup_ies, then type %cd $IESX_METAPATH. The environment variable is set in the /home/gqs/setup_ies file. The plot directory will contain the cgm file (*.cgm), the parameter file for plotting (*.cgmp), and the log file (*.log). The *.cgmp can be edited and the "copies=01" as shown below can be edited to plot the number of copied you desire. _________________________________________________________ ftype=cgm plotter=hp650 label="workflow.cgm -- username" metafile=/home/cs/zps/wrk/workflow.cgm copies=02 _________________________________________________________ You then copy the *.cgmp file to /home/zps/daem (path may be different but the 'daem' directory will always be present. Then copy the *.cgm file to /home/zps/wrk directory or edit the *.cgmp file so that the 'metapath' is the directory where the cgm file is located. Note: Addtional fields can be added to the *.cgmp file such as plot rotation, gamma values etc... For more information on how to edit these fields consult your ZEH user manual.
