Driving Pro/E Model from HTML page

I want to create a HTML interface that drives my Pro/E design. Does anyone know of a good resource, documentation, etc?
 
I would say, create model with parameters controlling the dimensions and then use j-link to control the parameters.
 
I have no experience with weblink, but that is what it is supposed to be used for.


Happy hunting.
 
I think Windchill is written in Java as the graphical user interface that works on any browsers or platforms. So JLink suggested by phoxeoy or perhaps ProToolKit can be the backbone for your HTML interface.

In addition, I'd think database knowledge (Oracle) is the essential skill beside Java and C for your idea since you no longer need ProE to drive the intructions. It can be very complicated to accomplish something very simple. PTC does not offer any JLink or PTK trainings. That says they don't really support those modules well.
 
Use Weblink for this. The api and function calls are documented, and wou rally only need html and java script.

By driving your design , do you mean edit existing features? or create new ones?


There are Weblink examples, you have to take some steps to invoke it. Then you can be somewhat inter -active .


.. but are you just wanting to take in some numbers via a html interface then apply them to a existing model?
 
Use weblink


look in : <proe_home>\weblink


there is good exemple in : <proe_home>\weblink\weblinkexamples\html, but you need to run it in the browser of proe.
