Working with the Composite Executables

The Composite executable files let you verify stored information, edit settings, and perform certain tasks. The Composite executable files reside in the Composite program directory or in the Compositebin directories for Linux and Mac.

Note

As the behavior of Composite is the same on a Linux or Mac workstation as on a Windows workstation, the screen shots in this chapter were taken from Composite running on a Windows workstation.

You can access the executables via a shell.

NoteThere are no file extensions on Linux and MAC OS workstations. Therefore, the executables don't have the “.exe” extension as they do on Windows. However, the functionality of the executables as well the list of command line parameters are identical on all platforms.

You can get a list of command line parameters for any Composite executable by running the executables without any parameters. In general, this provides some form of usage/help message.

To access the Composite Command Prompt:

In the Windows Start menu, choose Programs > Autodesk >Autodesk Composite 2011> Composite Command Prompt.
