Is it possible to make Model DB writable for the Draw user?

 
  • Hello,

    I'm curious, can I (or the db admin) make ModelDB (temporarily) writable to the Draw user via PML?

    The Long Story:
    [/U]
    For Model, I wrote pml code to calculate the mass of pipes filled with fluid /water/. It works by copying the pipes into a test zone, assigning /water to their FLUREF attribute and getting brwwei; then deleting the pipes.
    It's done this way so I don't modify the existing pipes (which are often locked and their history shouldn't be altered, so I'm not allowed to touch them).

    Now I would like to use that code in Draw, so I can write the mass of water-filled pipes into labes. But my code is not allowed to write and copy the pipes into my - model - test zone. I'm using an APPLWD, but I can also use a regular SITE for this; as long as I can make it writable.

    Big thanks for any help!
