Work on hypermesh while macro is running in background?

Hi Harish,

 

If i'm not wrong, after 10000 will merely delay execution of next line. So what operation do you want to do in hypermesh? 

IMHO, Hypermesh session can't run on multi-thread proc. So you can't do different tasks in parallel.

@ Altair's experts: correct me if I'm wrong?

 

Hi Livil Lyle,  'after 10000' I gave as an example. Actually, I would like the execution of the program to be halted by 30 minutes.

 

Basically, I'm trying to write a 'save as' reminder program, which saves the file every 30min in a specified format.

 

 

 

Hi Harish

To halt a runnning script, you can use tkwait

Ex:

proc ::p_RunningScript args {

    #a very long time script

    for {set i 0} {$i<1000000000} {incr i}

          Do something...

          if {!($i%1000)} update

          if {$::halt} {

               tkwait variable ::halt

         }

    }

}

 

#before running, indicate halt=0

set ::halt 0

::p_RunningScript

 

#to halt above script, set halt = 1

set ::halt 1

#then call your save as reminder

p_SaveAsReminder

 

#to continue the halt script:

set ::halt 0
