The Launch ACS/TDK dialog allows you to define a Generation Settings Scheme. How?

To open the Launch ACS/TDK dialog: in the drop-down list on the ACS/TDK Control tab, select New Scheme or an existing Generation Settings Scheme, and then click the

Edit ACS Scheme button:

• If you select New Scheme, the Launch ACS/TDK dialog allows you to define a new Generation Settings Scheme.

• If you select an existing Generation Settings Scheme, the Launch ACS/TDK dialog allows you to change the definition of that Generation Settings Scheme.

Standard Tab

Option	Use
Model	Shows the Model that relates to the Generation Settings Scheme.
Model Root Object	Specifies the root object in the model for generation - for TDK models this should be the TheGenerator package. The root object is the Model or Package that was selected in Modeler when the Generation Settings Scheme was first created.
Settings File	Shows the name of the selected Generation Settings Scheme file. Select a Generation Settings Scheme through the associated button. Create a new Generation Settings Scheme through the associated button.
Generator Dll	Shows the name of the selected Code Generator DLL that is used to generate the ACS Code Generator DLL. For TDK Code Generation Transformation Patterns models and TDK 3G models, use the 4GGenMetaGen Code Generator DLL, which you can select through the Meta Generator button. For TDK Legacy models, use the ShdMeta2G.dll, which you can select through the Meta Generator button.
Generator Dll Folder	Shows the path of the Code Generator DLL that is associated with the Generation Settings Scheme.
Target Directory	Shows the path of the target folder for generation. Select a target folder through the associated button.
Launch Options	Specifies configuration parameters that are used when TDK is started. For more information about configuration parameters, see Overview of configuration parameters (TDK)
Comment	Specifies a comment for the Generation Settings Scheme. On the ACS/TDK Control tab, the comment is shown as a ToolTip when the mouse pointer is hovered over the Generation Settings Scheme in the drop-down list.

Advanced Tab

The options available on the Advanced tab are populated only after you have selected a Code Generator DLL.

When generating ACS Code Generator DLLs through the TDK, do not change the default options on the Advanced tab.

Option	Use
Implementation File Extension/Suffix	Specifies the file name extension used for generated implementation files.
Header File Extension/Suffix	Specifies the file name extension used for generated header files.
Use UNIX Style Include Path Separators	Specifies that paths in the generated code use forward slashes instead of back slashes.
Use Spaces Instead of Tabs	Specifies that spaces are used to indent code, rather than tabs.
Spaces Per Tab	When spaces are being used to indent code, specifies how many spaces are used for each tab.
LF Instead of CRLF	Specifies that line feeds without carriage returns are generated in the code files, which you should use if generating code files for use in a UNIX environment.
