Creating and Running TCL Scripts

In PADS I/O Designer the built-in TCL interpreter is the base for all commands and operations. PADS I/O Designer performs the following steps to execute an operation:

Constructs a TCL command line

Displays the command line in the Console Window

Executes the command

Note
	Commands can be executed directly in GUI mode by entering the command into the Console Window. PADS I/O Designer includes a TCL interpreter with PADS I/O Designer-specific extensions. All standard TCL commands are available. All TCL scripts to be executed by PADS I/O Designer have to be written using the standard TCL syntax. This manual does not contain any introduction to the TCL language.

What follows is the list of all TCL extensions specific to PADS I/O Designer. Each of listed commands can be invoked with the -help parameter and information about the command’s parameters will be displayed. Parameter ? has the same meaning as -help.
