Hello,

I'm a noob in Pro/E programs...so if any of you can help me with some sample codes it will be great (any code).

Thanks,
 
Hello,


What is your concern you would like to learn Pro-Engineer customization(Pro-Toolkit or J-Link)or Pro-Program? Let make yourself aware what your would like to learn and need?

What do you mean by 'code'? If it's customization, there are a lot of ways to customize Pro|E:
<UL>
<LI>Configuration files (start with tools -> options, but there's a lot more you can do) control option settings for how Pro|E works. There are hundreds of options.</LI>
<LI>Config.win files (right mouse on a tool bar and select commands or toolbars to access) control the look and feel of the Pro|E window.</LI>
<LI>Mapkeys automate a sequence of commands (tools -> mapkeys)</LI>
<LI>Pro|Program, Toolkit and J-link are all much more sophisticated and powerful ways of customizing Pro|E to get it to do what you want. I'm not as familiar with them. I believe that Pro|Program operates at the model level, customizing model behavior and Toolkit and J-link operate at the application level.</LI>[/list]


That's the 10,000 foot overview

. Dive in and come back with some specific questions on what you're trying to do.
 
I know VB and i am new in java . So i wait for yours recommendation's regarding the language.
By code i mean programs, scripts. Please take in consideration that I'm new. I am interested in scripts for customization of interface, automated actions in part, assembly and kinematics.
 
If you know VB there is quite a bit you can do with some small exe's and mapkeys.. even having VB write out new values in mapkeys then a mapkey to load in the new definations...
 
So, can someone help me with some sample code or a tutorial? I need to know from where and how to start.

Thanks
 
let's say a simple part
position some parts in assemblies
calculate the length of a center curve (e. g. pipe)

...things like this ...at the beginning
