Description: You can now easily trace the execution of plug-ins and custom scripts by adding a breakpoint to any line of code where you want execution to pause. The breakpoints are recognized in the Abaqus PDE and in Abaqus/CAE if Abaqus/CAE is running in conjunction with the Abaqus PDE. The new Breakpoints dialog box displays all breakpoints set in the open files and quickly repositions the cursor to the breakpoints. Breakpoints are also indicated with an asterisk next to the line numbers in the Abaqus PDE main window.

In addition to the enhanced breakpoint functionality, the following features have been added or changed from the previous release:

• The Abaqus PDE automatically launches Abaqus/CAE to run scripts using the GUI or kernel processes.

• Script changes are indented automatically to Python standards as you edit.

• You can choose the colors used for Python syntax coloring.

• A Stop button allows you to stop running Python scripts or processes before they end.

• The debug windows (Breakpoints List, Call Stack, Debugger CLI, and Watch List) can be closed independently from the debugger.
