Arguments

-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
Note: Any errors encountered on the command-line, while launching the command, will be returned. Only errors occurring inside the command will be trapped.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
Note: Message limits can be defined with the set_msg_config command.

<project> - (Optional) The name of the project to make current. This command can be used prior to the close_project to make a specific project active and then to close the project.

Examples

The following example sets project_2 as the current project:

current_project project_2

This command makes the current project the focus of all the tool commands. In the GUI mode, the current project is defined automatically when switching the GUI between projects.

The following example returns the name of the current project in the tool:

current_project
Note: The returned value is the name of the project and not the name or path of the project file.
