Default Support Configuration File

You can modify the location of the default SupportConfiguration.xml used when AVEVA E3D Design is opened. You must locate and open the evars.init file. The Environment variable must be modified to locate the new SupportConfiguration.xml file.

For example, if the location of the SupportConfiguration.xml file is C:\MDS, the evars.init must be updated to read:

set MDS_SUPPORT_CONFIG_LOCATION=c:\MDS

Modify the Support File

The support can be modified without the use of the DimensionControlDesigner.exe tool. The example file, examplesupport.pmlfrm, displays the values that can be modified directly.

!this.formTitle = 'Test Support Form'

!this.iconTitle = 'TestSF'

!this.callback = '!this.init()'
