ProE Assembly using J-link

[19Pilou81]

Hi,


I'm trying to assemble parts automatically using J-link. I found an example code in the ProEngineer User's Guide and tried to compile it. I always had the problem, that the pfc.Globalwhich is imported in this codecould not be found. Now I just read inthis forumthat this package can only be used in synchronus mode.


I don't know much about J-link and synchronus / asynchronus mode so I decided to replace the "pfcasync.jar" I had copied intomy program folderwith the "pfc.jar". Unfortunately I now have moch more errors than before, because all the other imported methods can't be found.


Does anybody know this problem?





Here is the exampe code from the User's Guide:
