user defined tool with simple purge command

chapolote

Hi,

I created an own simpe tool, which only purges the drawing. As command I used _purge s which worked fine and purged everything until version 22 whithout any more questions. From version 23 on a dialogue box pops up where I manually have to select all. What command do I have to use now, that this dialouge box doesn't appear and everything will be purged?

Is there any reference page, where to find commands and parameters, which can be used for example by creating tools?

Regards, Joe

I think you're supposed to use a dash now (instead of an underline character) to suppress the dialog box. https://help.bricsys.com/en-us/document/command-reference/p/-purge-command?version=V24&id=165079040667

In addition to that Help Center, there's a Developer Reference. You might be interested in the DIESEL part of that, or the LISP part if you want to do things that can't be done with just macros and DIESEL.

No, -purge doesn't work at all....

Have a look at
https://help.bricsys.com/document/_commandreference--2_commandreference_introduction/V23/EN_US?id=165079036112
for the meaning of command prefixes !



I tested _-PURGE with underscore and dash in V22, V23, V24 and i cannot reproduce the behavior you describe
I always get all options in the command line without a dialog box displaying ...



You say that you used _PURGE S but there is no option S ...??
Only SH ST SE

Thanks Sakko, that helped

I tried -purge instead of _purge.
-purge doesn't work at all, but _-purge or -PU both work to launch the non-dialog version.

The option s exists in german localization (alle im Stapel) and is the same like BAtch all in english version.
