Text Limit
The TCL Console view has a limit of 2000 lines. Once this limit is reached, any new lines entered via
commands or message text causes the text at the top of the TCL Console to be pruned.
Additionally, when Tcl command return values are displayed in the Tcl Console, any long returned values
will be visually truncated at 500 characters in the console. The actual returned value will not be edited, just
the textual representation shown in the console.
Performance Note:
Performance of the TCL console is much higher when there are fewer than
2,000 lines of text.
Clearing the Console
Text in the TCL Console view can be cleared by clicking on the Clear Console toolbar button (
) in the
TCL Console view. This action truncates all text in the console up to the current cmd> prompt line.
Note:
Clearing the console increases console messaging performance.
