program

[nvshankar]

Hi,


Is it possible towrite a program in Pro/E to make a simple block such as a carton box by just entering the X, Y and Z dimensions and paste a jpeg or such image on the box?Could the program be executed outside pro/e and the file viewed in an application such as internet explorer or any other viewer?

Hi,


Yes its possible and easy to create the box using Pro/Program.
To paste a jpg is also easy if its always the same image.
Maybeits possible to change which jpg to usewith a pro toolkit application,Pro/Program cant be used for that anyway.
To execute the program externally should be possible, someone else can probably give you a good answer.
You can view the result in internet explorer using the PTC plugin "Product View Express".

At least 50% positive answers so far....

Thanks for your suggestion, but I think it is not possible to execute the program outside pro/e.

Actuall it is possible to execute the program outside of ProE, however the program will have to start ProE non graphically to create the box and paste the image. Contact me at [email protected] if you would like such a program created.

hi friends





how to link the Excel sheet with pro/program.


hi nvshankar,





you can go for J-link and you can show your model as a image ...


and youcan show the dimensions on the images....


then you can customise that to the world through web....

You can use visual basic in excel to export params and values to a text file that Pro/Program reads

Actually I have to give this program to a person who doesnt have pro/e and doesnt even know to use it. The program must be executed and viewed outside pro/e like as u have suggested entering params in excel and viewed in Jlink. Even for executionof the program, we cannot use pro/E. We can only write the program in Pro/E initially.
