Hi Everybody, I would use the dedit -R command. This should produce a list of connections for a given FoxDraw graphic. dedit -R produces a file named graphicname.txt which has the list of connections in it. for example dedit -R /opt/disp/unit1/Hard_Core_Boiler.fdf This will generate a file called /opt/disp/unit1/Hard_Core_Boiler.txt There is also a where used option, but I can not get it to work properly. Typing dedit -h will give you a list of command line options.

Is there a utility that will allow you to convert many files in batch mode? What I am trying to do is that given a process data point, I want to find out quickly on which graphics, if at all, this data point is configured. One way of doing this is to convert all the display files to ASCII format and then (hopefully) extract all the configured data points in the ascii file so that a database can be built. Has anybody done similar things or has a better solution?
