Hello,

It is possible to add a variable defined with a random number that is refreshed with every execution. This ensures that each element is unique and that Allplan does not reuse a previous version from the cache.

Hi,

I think what daviscio is referring to is how Python in ALLPLAN works.

When you run a python script with a regular python interpreter, like:

python.exe my_script.py

This is not the case in ALLPLAN. ALLPLAN starts python interpreter and this interpreter lives within ALLPLAN until you close it.
Python loads modules (.py files) in a "lazy" way - when it sees "import ..." statement, it looks it up and loads it and stores in the memory. The next time this module is needed, python loads it from the memory. This is good - loading from memory is much faster than from hard drive.

When you are the user, you are not changing the code. When you are developing, you want python to reload the module from hard drive each time. This is what reloader does. Please install the PythonParts SDK - it installs the reloader as well.

Please note, that reloader may cause issues: e.g. from my experience, numpy libraries do not like to be reloaded.

ALLPLAN expects the reloder.py to be available under:

...\Usr\{your_username}\PythonPartsScripts\allplan_gmbh\pythonparts_sdk\reloader.py

Best regards,
Bart
