mdlIModelClient SetGlobalOption
Sets a global option for all MotionView clients.
Syntax
mdlIModelClient_Handle SetGlobalOption option, value
Application
MotionView Tcl Modify
Description
This command sets a global option for all MotionView clients. A global option is an option that spans all model clients. For example, when you set an option in one model client, and you get that option in another model client, it reflects what you set in the first model client.

- axis_xcolor_idx
- Color index of the triad's x axis.
- axis_ycolor_idx
- Color index of the triad's y axis.
- axis_zcolor_idx
- Color index of the triad's z axis.
- specular_color_idx
- Color index used for the material's specularity (the color the material displays when it is shiny).
- parametric_editbox_color_idx
- Color index of the parametric text box.
- gradient_type
- Type of gradient used in Graphics Window.
- draw_triad
- Display the Global Frame implicit graphic.
- draw_model_title
- Display the model file name in the Graphic Window.
- zoom_factor
- Magnitude of how much a model can be zoomed in or out.
- simplify_bgfg_on_capture
- True if activated, otherwise False.
- material_shininess
- Index of the material shininess (0-128).
- pick_aperture
- Index of the option selected.
- check_general
- Check general model information for Reference errors whenever a CheckModel is run.
- check_DOF
- Check and display Degrees of Freedom when a user does a CheckModel.
- check_files
- Check and display all the files being used by a Model, whenever a CheckModel is run.
- check_data
- Check and display suspect data for any errors whenever a CheckModel is run. For example, a free body (which is not attached to Ground in any way) will be listed in Suspect Data whenever a CheckModel is run.
- create_separate_definitions
- Creates a separate definition when modifying a shared instance of a definition. When 'False', no separate definition is created and any change in one instance is applied to all instances of the shared definition. Not applicable for Assemblies.
- enable_label
- When 'True', uses a label for entities in messages instead of variable names.
- legacy_output_label
- When 'True', writes output labels to the solver deck as it was in version 2020 and previous versions.
- wizard_menu_state
- Enable or disable the Wizard Menu state.
- mv_last_dir

- mv_write_anim_file
- Save the .maf file (or not). If 'True', the .maf file will be created. If 'False' no .maf file will be created.
- use_updated_symmetry

- value
- This is the value to be set against the ‘option’ key.
