Function: |
Specifies the name of a file to which the material list is to be sent. Also specifies whether one file should be created for each plot, or one file for all plots. |
|
Description: |
The user can send a copy of the material list data to a text file. This file can be printed, and edited to produce, for example, an ordering schedule. The MATLISTFILENAME command specifies the filename and the page length (as the number of lines) for its formatted contents. The file contains Fortran carriage control characters and page headers and footers. Subsequent MATLISTFILENAME commands followed by the same filename will overwrite the file, unless the user uses the OVERWRITE option. By default, the material list is not sent to a file, so the user does not have to specify a filename in order to use Isodraft. The default page length is 55 lines. Material list numbers are shown on the isometric plot even when the material list is sent only to a file. |
|
Examples: |
MATLIST /SITE_A-LIST Material list data sent to named file with default page length of 55 lines. MATLIST /SITE_A-LIST WITH 70 LINES Material list data sent to named file with page length of 70 lines. MATLIST /SITE_A-LIST PERPLOT OVER WITH 70 LINES Material list data sent to a number of files, one for each plot, with page length of 70 lines. The filenames are taken from the specified name, followed by an automatic numeric suffix (in a similar fashion to plotfile naming). The PERPLOTFILE OVERWRITE command overwrites any files that exists with the same name as the generated files. |
