Description
When you generate a saved output file using automatic indexing with the Edit window PRINT/AUTO command, PC-DMIS uses an index value as a base. It then it increments the index if there's a duplicate file name in the same directory so that you end up with a unique file name.
This property lets you get or set the index value stored in the part program.

activePartProgram = App.ActivepartProgram dim saveIndex as Integer saveIndex = activePartProgram.OutputFileIndex activePartProgram.OutputFileIndex = newIndex .... .... activePartProgram.OutputFileIndex = saveIndex | |
