Beginners

you can see in the img. I have N(0-2) & P(0-2). I’d like to be able to switch between these 6 values. set up the DAT table and randomize values with CHOPS but values won’t change when exporting just stays at P(0). any idea if possible?

Hi @OBSCENITYLAB,

you can make use of the DAT Export functionality. DATs have a Export flag and when using the columns:

path parameter value enable
geo1 instancex “P(2)” 1

you actually gain the possibility to export onto string type parameters including these menu types. Just make sure the value - if indeed a string as in this case - is in double quotes.

Hey @OBSCENITYLAB,

sorry - missed this…
I would use a combination of the Sort and Merge DAT to randomize the value column and replace it after the original Table.
