Hi Raj,


The same problem i encountered long back.There is no solution aprat from run the application by adding some menu or button in the Pro-Engineer main window.


You need to call the ProSelect() API from the callback function of the button you added in the menu or at the main window. With out these activites you can directly select any type of entities from the window.


You can't close the Auxillary window with the code you have writtern


Just added a button code in the user_initilize() and write all your code in the callback function.


With regards

In your registry file please add one more line


delay_start true


this will allow you to start the auxilary application manually.


I guess since you didn't use this proe starts the auxilary application as soon as it starts and fails because it can not retrive model from the current window. So first load the part into the current window and then start the auxilary application.Althougha better solution is to create a menu push button you can also try by using delay_start true.
