Hi Nadav,

In the Multi-Configuration Editor, you have an operand called NGLS for the material type for non-sequential objects. In ZPL, you can create, and modify a Multi-Configuration operand with INSERTMCO, and SETMCOPERAND. With your example, you could do:

# Define row number for a new NGLS operand
row = 1

# Define object number that will be attached to NGLS
object = 4

# Insert a new operand in the first row
INSERTMCO row

# Change the new operand to NGLS
SETMCOPERAND row, 0, "NGLS", 0

# Update NGLS to apply to your object of interest
SETMCOPERAND row, 0, object, 1

# Insert an additional configuration
INSERTCONFIG 1

# Set Material for Config 1
SETMCOPERAND row, 1, "N-BK7", 0

# Set Material for Config 2
SETMCOPERAND row, 2, "N-SF1", 0

I hope that makes sense.

The rest of your code with the SETNSCPROPERTY seems identical in both configurations why do you need to repeat it twice?

Take care,

David

Hi David,

Thanks for the quick and detailed answer.

NGLS work also for pure NSC mode?

Thanks,

Nadav

Hi Nadav,

Yes it does. I think NGLS was always intended for non-sequential mode.

Take care,

David

Hi David,

I am trying to run your code but it seems the “SETMCOPERAND row, 0, object, 1” control only the surface number(which in pure NSC should be 1) and not the object number.

Thanks,

Nadav
