Do you have a DOORS DXL script that can move objects to other locations within the same module if the location is spectified in the object attribute?

Greetings,

Does anyone have a DOORS dxl script that can automatically loop through a large group of newly imported objects (located at the bottom of a DOORS module) and move each object to another location in the module that is specified in an attribute of that object?

Hi Greg,

You could use something like this. New objects are deemed to be those with a non-null value in the attribute containing the target object. So to avoid unwanted moving, objects which exist before the import will need to have it set to null before running.

// If an object has a value in the attribute specified in "targetAttrName" it will
// be moved to the Object whos Absolute Number corresponds to that value

// Exact target location can be changed by altering "move(o, targetObj)"
// Current move behaviour makes moved objects the last child of the specified target

Module m = current
Object o, targetObj

int targetObjAbsNo
string targetAttrName = "trg"

for o in entire m do {

    targetObjAbsNo = null
    targetObjAbsNo = o.targetAttrName

    if (!null targetObjAbsNo) {

        targetObj = object (targetObjAbsNo, m)
        move(o, targetObj)

        o.targetAttrName = null
    }
}
Regards,
Stuart.
