change output filename for RootTemplate

In a generator root node, I am trying to generate the same output filename for different models. I found a way to specify the file extension with TextGen, but I also need to change the filename. It looks like the filename must be the name of the concept as defined in the generator. Is there a way to override this?

Hm, are you using the generator or the textGet?

I am using a generator with root nodes that eventually convert to text with
TextGen.

Under Generator:

Root A
Root B

The type of either A or B uses TextGen and writes to a file called
A.extension, B. extension.
I would like instead to write to C.extension. Only A or B can be generated
at any time with a switch template. The content of these files depend on
some property of an input node. However, I need the content to go to the
same destination filename.

Any idea how to do this? Thanks, Fabien

Sounds like you simply may use a property macro in the generator. The same works e.g. for baseLanguage: this eventually uses textGen for generating text, but if ClassConcept is used as a generator root template, the name can be determined by a property macro.

Simple and elegant. It works. Thanks.
