Hello Ghunk,


You require the Pro/Engineer and knowledge on C progamming to learn Pro/Toolkit.Based on the Pro/Engineer version you required the "C" compiler suggested either in Window or Unix platform.


Two ways to build the application in EXE or DLL form.All the details given in the Pro/Toolkit documentation given by the Pro/Engineer.Look into your local disk where Pro/Engineer loaded there is protoolkit folder exists,you have two kind of help files one in PDF other is in .html format.


Plz look into the details slowly you can able to get some idea about the pro/toolkit.


With regards,

Hello Kishorev

Thanks for your explanation. i`ve read the help file, and i got a picture about toolkit. and i see some sample toolkit in that folder, but it just C file, so i need to compile it first?

best regards

Hello Ghunk,


It depends on the which Pro/Engineer verison are your working on.It it is Wf2.0 you required a VC++6.0 Microsoft in your system to build the pro/Toolkit applications.


It has the "c" compiler to compile your souce code to get the output as "EXE" or "DLL" .You need to configure the setting to compile and run the application.


Let me know once your procure the above sotware in your machine.

GHunk,


You say that you read the "help file" but it must not have been the right thing. The help here is not a file, but rather a huge set documents called the API wizard. You couldn't read the whole thing in a lifetime. Navigate to D:\ptc\proeWildfire2.0\protoolkit\protkdoc\IEPlugin.html (or whatever your loadpoint is). You must have the Java JRE installed to use this wizard.


Anyway, once this is installed and running, on the the left there is a Find tab, and under that there is a pulldown with Toolkit Objects, or Toolkit user guide showing. You want the user guide. Under this userguide choose fundamentals. It explains all about the compiling and such. The API wizard is the key to toolkit. Every time you are writing code you will need to be using the Wizardevery function used. It also provides tons of helpful examples.
