Overview
The attached zip file contains a script that parses a comma-separated values (CSV) file and generates a dynamic XML file to automatically populate pull-down menus in HyperMesh. Hierarchy in the pull-down menus is created based on the first three columns in the CSV file, namely: main block, Sub-main, Sub-Group.
Where:
|
Column Name |
Description |
|
main block |
Parent navigation item |
|
Sub-main |
Sub-menu navigation item |
|
Sub-Group |
Second level of navigation item |
Supported attributes to the menu button, like text, source/command, tooltip, visibility, etc., are listed in the other columns.
In this example, the following columns are included:
|
Column Name |
Description |
|
text |
Name of the tool |
|
source path |
Command/source executed when controls are selected |
|
command |
Procedure call, if the source file is passed in the “source path” column |
|
tooltip |
Tooltip text displayed when hovering over the region |
|
visible |
Conditional attribute to show/hide any tags contained within it based on the profiles specified. Visible conditions can be nested. For example: Like: {ProfileName1, ProfileName2, ProfileName3} *Note: visible attribute is supported in versions 2021.2 or above. |
