As of PTC.Setup 2000i2, it is possible to record PTC.Setup menu selections in a trail file that can
be replayed at a later time. This is done by specifying the command line option "-uilog" upon
startup of PTC.Setup:
UNIX: <cdrom>/setup -uilog
Intel Windows NT and 2000: <cdrom>\setup.exe -ptcsetup -uilog
All other Windows: <cdrom>\setup.exe -uilog
PTC.Setup will create a trail file named ps_trl.txt.1 in the directory from which you run PTC.Setup
(assuming you have write access to that directory). If ps_trl.txt.1 already exists, ps_trl.txt.2 will be
created, and so on.
To replay this trail file, you must first rename it to <filename>.txt. For example, if you rename the trail
file to "runme.txt", you then replay it by invoking PTC.Setup with the "-uitrail" command line option:
UNIX: <cdrom>/setup -uitrail runme.txt
Intel Windows NT and 2000: <cdrom>\setup.exe -ptcsetup -uitrail runme.txt
All other Windows: <cdrom>\setup.exe -uitrail runme.txt
Keep in mind, it may be necessary to specify the full path to the runme.txt file in order for PTC.Setup
to find this file when using -uitrail.
It is possible to specify both -uilog and -uitrail as arguments to PTC.Setup. This will replay your
trail file, while at the same time, creating a new trail file of the events that are being played.
By default, PTC.Setup will display its user interface (UI) when you run a trail file. To hide the UI
during trail playback, specify the "-nographics" argument to PTC.Setup:
UNIX: <cdrom>/setup -nographics -uitrail runme.txt
Intel Windows NT and 2000: <cdrom>\setup.exe -nographics -ptcsetup -uitrail runme.txt
All other Windows: <cdrom>\setup.exe -nographics -uitrail runme.txt
