Hello again,

I understand. You want a command log that would build the model in Input and also run commands in Output, right?

From Input's command line you can use the following syntax to access Output:

/output set Plots[-1].PhaseBehaviour "projectphase"
/output set Plots[-1].Phase Phase_1

This article is for accessing Output via Python, though there is a link for controlling the output via the internal command line.

However how do you switch remotely from the "Run Commands" in Input to the "Run Commands" in Output?
For example i use a batch file to update a model with a log file.

"_preview xxx" opens the Output but the next command in the log file still runs in the Input Commands, which is then not recognised.

Hello Natalie,

We have written a dedicated article about plots in Output:

Follow up question which i have not yet answered myself,

I am updating a model and want to export a plot per phase.

_preview InitialPhase opens the Output, but how do i switch to the run commands for the output from within the log file?

As found in many fora out there: the best way to solve the problem is just to talk about it "out-loud".

I am glad you figure it out Natalie!

Have answered my own question.

i can add all the commands to the calculateproject.log as shown in the tutorial, not just calculate, save and __kill
