Editing "ExtGeomFileName" in Solid Blocks via Mask

I Got a Solid Block in a Subystem which i stored in a Library for regular use. I use .STL files to provide the Geometrie to the Solid Block. The Directory to this .STL Fle is stored is the 'ExtGeomFileName' Parameter The Problem: the Geometrie is different for every instance of the Subsystem

I Tried to Change the Directory with a Callback in the Mask that starts when Editing the Blocks Name but when i do so, the Link between The Library and the Subsystem gets broken.

Any Ideas how to solve that?

Hey,

this answer may be late but:

set_param(<solid_block>,'ExtGeomFileName',<path_to_the_solid.stl>)

does the trick. All arguments are strings. The built-in function gcb is a heplful thing when you use something like tat in a library.

Greetings,

Thanks! I've been trying to figure out what the property tag for file names is for solid blocks for some time. any chance you still have any idea where you found this???
