Recording Scripts on Networked Systems

When you record an animation from a script, an animation settings file (“.asf”) is created by MicroStation to hold the open script's settings and recording status. This makes it possible to easily record the script on networked systems.

The settings file is stored in the same directory in which the animation frames are saved. The default root filename is the same as the design filename. The settings file is not deleted after recording is completed in case any frames need to be re-rendered.

1. Begin recording using the first system. Specify a shared drive as the destination for the resulting animation file(s).


2. Continue recording using additional systems.

1. From the Animation Producer dialog box's File menu, choose Continue Recorded Sequence.
   The Select File dialog box opens.


2. Select the animation settings file (.asf) for the recording from the shared drive.


3. Click the OK button.
