you can do this. It should look something like this
object 0 class array type float...... (the "positions")
object 1 class array type float.... (the first "data")
object 2 class array type float... (the second "data")
object 3 class field
  component "positions" value 0
  component "data" value 1
object 4 class field
  component "positions" value 1
  component "data" value 3

now if you just leave it like this, by default you're going to get the last
field
imported. If you want to be able to import both of them there are two ways
to
do it. The first is to continue adding to the above the following:

object 5 class group
member 0 value 3
member 1 value 4

This will import the last thing in the file, which is now the group. you
can
use Select in the visual program to separate them. Alternatively, you
can give the fields names (instead of "object 3" for example, write
object "field1") then import them by name as the "variable" input in
Import). Look at some of the .dx files in samples/data.

Subject:  [opendx-users] more than one field in a dx file




Hi:
I'm a new user of DX. I tried to put two fields, which have different
"data" components and are refering to the same "positions" and
"connections" components, into one dx file. But it seems not working. I
have to put these 2 fields specification to seperate files. I didn't
find the user guide mentions this point, does it?

Thanks

Xiaowen
