Plotting a Proe file without openning pro

[vandewinckel]

Hello


Does Proe offer a way to plot a drawing without opening the file in Pro-e first. We're thinking of creating a program that saves the plot file, so it can be plotted without openning the file. Before we put the time an effort intoa program. I thoughtI would ask if anyone knows of a way to plot a Pro-e drawing from a workstaion without Pro-e loaded. The workstation will be connected to the server.


Thanks


Steve

It depents...


Do you used Intralink? Then you should look at sbatch (not from PTC but a free tool).


Else you can use probatch that can open proe in no graphis mode and make the print.


Or you can use Division graphis server (productView server)


Or a Productview client are able to open proE file and print. I do not know if you can give it a command line option to make the print.

We arecurrently using intralink 3.4. We are planning to upgrade to Intralink 9 in the first quarter 2009. Would you happen to know if Intralink 9 allows you to plot off-line using a command line.


Thanks

I don't know if Intralink 9 can do it. But if you upgrade to Pdmlink then the you get a system that can manage it og link it together with the cad-file.


Or perhaps you canuse pi-plot. http://www.sf.com/opencms/en/plm/piplot.html

do you use PI-PLOT

 

[jnoval]

No. We are today on Intralink 3.4 so I use sbatch. It is free, and can do much more that just plotting. It can activate any mapkey on any objecvt in WS. http://spekantools.innotiv.nl/index.php


We will migrate to PdmLink in 2008.
