Path Macro Configuration (DATAFLOW Designer)

Path Macro

The macros can be used in all configurable paths to create system-independent paths. There are two types:

• SystemMacros: System defined paths, not changeable
• UserMacros: User defined paths

Those macros can be used in any path. E.g., ‘Generator Options’

A macro starts and ends always with the ‘$’ character, and the name is UPPERCASE.

Output Configuration Directory Setup

Add User Macro

Open the project options, and click the ’Add Icon’ on the left side.

Create new Path macros

Scope:          Define the macro scope in Application > Solution > Project.

Name:           The macro name. Name is normalized to UPPERCASE.

Is File Path:   The value is true if the content string is referencing a file and false if it is referencing a directory.

Content:        The content of the macro, which may also contain other macros where available in the given cope.

Note

The project and solution scope have the same effect in DATAFLOW Designer V1.6. In the future, this will be used to define macros for multiple projects in a workspace/solution.
