Working with Dymola Flags

Dymola Flags lets you display and edit Dymola flags. Dymola flags can be Boolean flags as well as non-Boolean flags, that is, global settings for integer, real, and string variables. In most cases, the Dymola flags correspond to options available in other commands, but in some cases you may need to display and change the value of flags that are not covered by options in other commands.

Note: You can edit Dymola flags using scripting as well.

  1. To expand a flag group, click the symbol before the group, or double-click the group.

    Notes:
    • Yellow background means that the value of the flag is not the default one.
    • Flag name in italics means that the value of the flag is saved between sessions.
    • Boolean flags are indicated by boxes in the Value column, other types of flags are indicated by the value.

  2. To display the current name of the flag, pause the cursor over the name of the flag to display a tooltip.

    Important: The name in the tooltip and the name in the dialog box may not be the same. The dialog box is part of a restructuring of the flags and the new flag names are presently only implemented in the dialog box. The name in the tooltip is the present real name of the flag, which is the same as in previous versions. The present real name must be used if working with the flag by other tools, for example, scripting.

  3. To filter flags, type text in the filter box in the top of the dialog.

    The filtering is dynamic and updated when typing. The filter searches for the characters typed inside any name in the dialog (the description strings are not searched.)

    Important: The filter searches for both the name of the flag used in this dialog and the real present name of the flag.

  4. To display only flags that have other values that the default ones, activate Non-Default in the upper right corner or the dialog box.

    Note: Any filtering is still applied.

  5. To activate or clear a Boolean flag, you can:
    • In the Value column, click the checkbox for it.
    • Right-click the flag name, and select Edit.
  6. To change the value of a non-Boolean flag, you can:
    • In the Value column, click the value twice to open the editor, and then change the value.
      Note: Double-clicking has no effect.
    • Right-click the flag name, and select Edit to open the editor, and then change the value.
  7. To reset any flag to the default value, right-click the flag name, and select Edit.
  8. To reset all flags to their default values, click Reset All Variables.
  9. To copy the name of a flag to the clipboard, right-click the name of the flag and select Copy Name.
