hi,

i try updating SciTE to the latest versions, syntax been completion and calling CalculiX `ccx` and `cgx` done internally. However, syntax highlighting for `*.fbd` files did not work as expected and some group of keyword arguments also.

the code can be found on my [GitHub](https://github.com/xyont/ted4cax), copy and overwrites three files into official SciTE latest distribution (`abaqus.properties`, `fbd.properties` and `SciTEGlobal.properties`)

any hints about the problems?

below figures shown CalculiX ccx running by access menu Tool - Compile (Ctrl+F7) and cgx displaying results by F5 keys (Go)

and some problem in syntax highlighting of `*.fbd` files.

probably it’s required to compiles from source to make SciTE fully integrated with CalculiX.

Autodesk also customized SciTE in their [MAXscript](https://help.autodesk.com/view/MAXDEV/2022/ENU/?guid=GUID-F039181A-C072-4469-A329-AE60FF7535E7) editor.

HI Xyont,

I’m trying to update my installation and it almost works but Compile constantly runs ccx version v.19 no matter what.

How could I update to point to the new version?

NOTE: I dont have bconverged installed so I went directly to abaqus.properties and found this:

```
command.compile.*.inp=C:\PROGRA~2\BCONVE~1\CalculiX\bin\ccx.bat $(FileName)
command.compile.*.inp=C:\PROGRA~2\BCONVE~1\CalculiX\bin\ccx.bat $(FileName)

command.go.*.inp="C:\PROGRA~2\BCONVE~1\CalculiX\bin\cgx.bat" -v "$(FileName).frd"
command.go.*.inp="C:\PROGRA~2\BCONVE~1\CalculiX\bin\cgx.bat" -v "$(FileName).frd"

command.go.*.inp="C:\PROGRA~2\BCONVE~1\CalculiX\bin\cgx.bat" -c "$(FileNameExt)"
command.clean.*.inp="C:\PROGRA~2\BCONVE~1\CalculiX\bin\cgx.bat" -c "$(FileNameExt)"

```

Some command lines are repeated, and different commands have the same parameter. Is that ok?

Firstly, i prefer to install bConverged and updates as suggested [officially](http://www.dhondt.de/). If not, some specific setting in environment path and modify `^.properties` is required.

i incidentally upload the incorrect ones, file has been updated immediately.

Thank you very much.

EDITED:

I have finally been able to set the proper ccx version runing in Scite.  
I have remove the

command.compile.\*.inp=C:\Users.…\ccx.bat $(FileName) from the abaqus.properties and set it directly into the SciTEGlobal.properties as :

command.compile.$(file.patterns.inp)=ccx\_dynamic -i $(FileName)

No bconverge is needed.
