Synopsis
Save a metrology context to a file.
Syntax
void MmetSave(
MIL_CONST_TEXT_PTR FileName, //in
MIL_ID ContextId, //in
MIL_INT64 ControlFlag //in
)
Description

This function saves all the information about the previously allocated metrology context to disk, including all of the feature and geometric tolerance settings and names. This information can be reloaded, using MmetRestore() or MmetStream(). However, drawing control type settings are not saved.

Note that this function reference has not been updated for a MIL system added during a MIL update. Refer to the MIL system's release note to see which MIL system’s documentation you should use in its place and any possible differences.
Parameters
This function is not supported on the selected boards.
This function reference has not been updated for the selected MIL system. To show the content of this page, choose a second MIL system; refer to the MIL system's release note to see which MIL system’s documentation to choose and any possible differences.
Parameters
FileName

Specifies the name and path of the file in which to save the metrology context. It is recommended that you use the MET file extension for easier use with other Matrox Imaging software products. The function internally handles the opening and closing of this file. If this file already exists, it will be overwritten.

This parameter can be set to one of the following values:
