Multiple commands can be used in one line using the pipe “|” separator. The command
below shows the copy and pasting of multiple commands into the command line where
the pipe separator symbol is automatically
inserted:
hide all | mark component dictionaryrange "SHELL: TIRE-FRONT-LEFT" "SHELL: TIRE-RIM-OUTER.3" | show component marked
Figure 1. Multiple Commands in the Command Line
ID Range Lists
All commands which support entity IDs support the ID range syntax. Single entities or
a range of entities are separated by a comma ",". During command recording, the
minimum required amount of information is
recorded.
show component 2000770-2000780,2000083
If
a command exceeds a certain length (more that 1000 characters), a trimmed version of
the command is displayed in both the command line and the time
history.
hwc hide element 1-41,64-67,69-99 ……… 5000571-5000576,5001001-5001010,5001020-5001035
The
command line is blocked for editing if a trimmed command is shown, and the status
bar in the lower left corner
displays:
Long command, copy and edit externally
If you copy the short command from the history, then you will always get the full
command in memory. This is similar to copying from the log file.
Label Lists
Command for labeled entities support label lists separated by a comma, "," in
addition to the ID range
syntax.
show component "BIW - A pillar bracket 5 - R - I" ,"BIW - B pillar reinfor 2 - R - I" ,"BIW - control module brkt"
mark sset "Set 1" ,"Set 2" ,"Set 5"
Additionally, the mark command supports the "dictionaryrange"
syntax, which allows you to select entities in the range of a dictionary-sorted
entity list by entering the entity start- and
end-label.
mark component dictionaryrange "SHELL: TIRE-FRONT-LEFT" "SHELL: TIRE-RIM-OUTER.3"
Wildcards
The wildcard "*" stands for an arbitrary number of characters, while "?" stands for
exactly one character. They can be used both in the ID range syntax or label
list:
show component 20001*, 20007*,
hide component *pillar*,*floor*
