RE: Good text editor for Nastran Deck?
here is my highlight scheme for DAT and f06 files (and PRG for Femap Program Files).
Let me know if you extend it.
RE: Good text editor for Nastran Deck?
if tried your highlighting scheme, but in my case it doesn't work with the current version of notepad++ (it always breaks down).
@Mario: Is it working for you?
I'm searching for a scheme which is able to highlight every 8 columns of the .bdf file, so that you can easily read through the bulk entries. It's really was really enoying the first time with the windows editor.
Thanks in advance,
Heiko

I'm using the current 5.6.8 version of notpad++. There you can usally go on "setup" ("Einstellungen" in the german version), then click "import" and "themes". There you select the file. Afterwards you load this theme in "setup" -> "style".
But I've to admitt it doesn't work in my case. If anyone did manage to use the style-scheme....

I've read a lot of your interesting posts on VPD community.
In my computer the XML file is in the installation directory of notepad++ : C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++. (OS XP X64)
To keep the file in that location, during the installation you should check the box with the following text: "Don't use %APPDATA%"

Isn't there someone having the same problem that you can't see to which field the entries belong to?
RE: Good text editor for Nastran Deck?
You could set one vertical line to check a field length.
to do this go under Configuration>Preferences>Editing>Vertical edge setting
Check the box for Show vertical edge
set a number multiplier of 8
