Session Commands and System Responses
You can view the commands you use and the responses the system makes during a design session in the output area of the Command Interpreter Window (CIW). These commands and responses are in SKILL code. As well as displaying this information in the output area, the software also writes it to the CDS.log file.
The output area normally displays only a few lines of code. You can resize the window or use the scroll bars to view more lines. When you resize the CIW, only the output area changes size. You can jump to the top or to the end of the output area by typing Ctrl+Home or Ctrl+End. You can see the full record of activity by opening the CDS.log file in a text editor.
You can control the maximum number of previous commands that appear in the output area, see User Preferences Form.
You can control what you see in the output area by changing the log filter. By default, output is limited to error messages, warning messages, program results, and results of running a function. The log file contains a complete record of the session including menu commands, prompts, and other kinds of output. If you want to see this additional information, you can set the log filter options to change the display.
\# is used in the CDS.log file to filter out statistic information such as output memory use and X resource ID.Related Topics
