Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): 8.1 SR3
Operating System: Windows XP
I am trying to make a custom export button which automatically displays the project filename and path of where the project is saved on the graph. I am wondering how to access the project path and filename automatically without having to make the user re-enter it. Is there a variable that information is always stored in?
Thanks! |

expGraph -d;
... brings up the Export Graph dialog.
Script will not continue unless and until the user clicks OK and the export finishes.

Thanks Greg, that is extremely helpful for exporting files in a script. I should have been a little more specific regarding what I am looking for. I want to just bring up the export graph dialog box in the middle of the script. I want to allow the user to alter things within the dialog box and then once they hit 'OK' it returns to running the script.
How would I go about implementing this?
Thanks for the advice! |

We never recommend using the menu id since we do not guarantee the id will persist between versions - thus breaking your code.
The export graph X-Function (expGraph) is easily programmed, especially in 8.1SR3.
With a graph active, open the export graph dialog.
Choose "Specified" as the 'Export'.
Enter 'File Name(s)' as "My File".
Choose "Auto Rename" for 'Overwrite Existing'.
Set any other properties as you wish.
Now click the flyout button to the right of 'Dialog Theme' and choose the 'Generate Script' option.
You can complete the export as a test of your settings, but you now have a script that does the job. Edit the
pages:=value
filename:="value"
path:="value"
as needed. |

Thank you. This is exactly what I'm looking for. I also have one more question, the menu -e command is good for executing options like print within a script. Is there a 5 digit code for the export graph? So far when I hit the control + shift and click on the menu button it brings up the x-function code.
Thanks! |

Hi:
Maybe you can look at the Example 5 about Label command.
Thanks
