Using Commands

Getting Started with AVEVA E3D

Functions : Basic GUI Features : Using Commands

For most purposes you will want to use AVEVA E3D™ using the GUI. However, by using commands you are able to streamline your methods of working and save time on repeated tasks. In particular, you may want to:

•

Create macros to automate repetitive procedures (refer to PML Functions and Methods and Summary of Objects, Members and Methods).

•

Design and create new forms and menus for their graphical user interface that match their working needs precisely (refer to Form Concepts: Getting Started and Summary of Objects, Members and Methods).

In some cases it can be slightly quicker to use commands rather than the GUI for simple operations. For example:


Q MEM	- list the members of the current element
Q ATT	- list the attributes of the current element

Note:

You should always use the GUI to create elements.
