Save Parameters of a model

hugo_wy — Fri, 28 Jun 2024 09:40:47 GMT

Hello.

Can someone help me with this situation.

How can i save the information of "Modified On", "Created On" and "Path" of a model in 3 Strings Variables?

I can see the parameters by using:
print entity parameters model '24-2744-eaa'

But i can´t acess them by using:
print entity parameters model '24-2744-eaa' Modified-On

print entity parameters model ('24-2744-eaa').modified-on

I am working with PowerMill 2015

try this macro:

entity $model = input entity model 'select a model' string $msg = 'Modified on: ' + $model.ModificationTime + CRLF $msg = $msg + 'Created on: ' + $model.ImportTime + CRLF $msg = $msg + 'Created on: ' + $model.Path + CRLF message info $msg

Thanks for the fast response.

This is the result of the macro.

The "Modified on" and "Created on" returns a crazy number.

It should return "2024-06-27 16:40"

Still don´t work.

string msg = time_to_string($model.ModificationTime,'M')

MESSAGE INFO $msg

Ok sorry i currently dont own a powermill licence so i cannot test but please try this:

local_time($model.ModificationTime).timestamp

entity $model = input entity model 'select a model' string $msg = 'Modified on: ' + local_time($model.ModificationTime).timestamp + CRLF $msg = $msg + 'Created on: ' + local_time($model.ImportTime).timestamp + CRLF $msg = $msg + 'Created on: ' + $model.Path + CRLF message info $msg

like this you can get the separate information:

entity $model = input entity model 'select a model' object $dateInfo = local_time($model.ModificationTime) string $msg = 'Year: ' + $dateInfo.Year + CRLF $msg = $msg + 'Month: ' + $dateInfo.Month + CRLF $msg = $msg + 'Day: ' + $dateInfo.Day + CRLF $msg = $msg + 'Hour: ' + $dateInfo.Hour + CRLF $msg = $msg + 'minute: ' + $dateInfo.Minute + CRLF $msg = $msg + 'second: ' + $dateInfo.second + CRLF message info $msg

theres also a function for the UTC time => utc_time()

for more information look up page 75 in the macro programming guide

This works for me

entity $model = input entity model 'select a model'
string $msg = 'Modified on: ' + local_time($model.ModificationTime).timestamp + CRLF
$msg = $msg + 'Created on: ' + local_time($model.ImportTime).timestamp + CRLF
$msg = $msg + 'Model path: ' + $model.Path + CRLF

message info $msg
