To set the TM_MAPLIST environment variable
AECOsim Building Designer stores thematic map definitions in map definition files (*.tmt). By default (*.tmt) files are saved to the same directory as the active DGN file.
You can configure standard paths for storing the *.tmt files. This is done by setting the environment variable TM_MAPLIST.
If TM_MAPLIST is defined, every time the Thematic Maps dialog is opened AECOsim Building Designer searches available thematic map definition files in the locations defined by TM_MAPLIST.
- Open the System Properties dialog from the Control Panel.
- Open the Advanced tab.
-
Click Environment Variables.
The Environment Variables dialog opens.
-
Create a new user variable: Click
New.
The New User Variable dialog opens.
- Key in TM_MAPLIST as the variable name.
- Key in paths to folders where the thematic file map definition files (*.tmt) are to be stored. Separate paths with semicolons.
-
Click
OK.
The New User Variable dialog closes.
-
Click
OK again.
The Environment Variables dialog closes, and applies the new variable.
-
Restart AECOsim Building Designer, and start the Thematic
Maps dialog.
Thematic map definition files saved to the search path folders are now available for use.
