Starting proe from app. Directory

Hi, I've succeded with synchronous apps, starting proe from directory application, and using the command line.


The question is, Do I have to start always from my apps directory ?.


Can I make jar files with my applications, start proe as always, and register different protk.dat files ?


I've not found this topic.
 
hello friend ,


wht u mean by directory application , i cant able to undeerstand ur correct requirment .plz try to be specific about ur problem.
 
Thanks for your reply.


I meant, that I had to start proe from command line and from the directory in which the protk.dat was. Now I can start from windows icon and everything runs smooth.


Thanks
 
Hi diego,<br style="font-weight: normal;"><br style="font-weight: normal;">While launching ProE from the command prompt, please set the config.pro option "file_open_default_folder" to "working_directory". I believe this should fix the problem.

Thanks,
Jay

diego,


Create a shortcut to your proe executable and right-click edit the "start in" value. This will change your startup directory when you launch with this shortcut. Make sure you config options are set accordingly.


Not sure about jar fies, but protk.dat files can be reigstered upon startup using the "protkdat" option in your config.pro or sup file. the value of the option is the location of the folder which contains a protk.dat file to be read.For example,whenProE is used in conjunction with Ansys, the option points to the protkdat file in the Ansys install directory (the protk.dat files comes with the Ansys install):


protkdat C:\apps\ANSYSInc\v90\AISOL\CAD


You may list as many directories with protkdat files as you wish. Try to avoid spaces in the directory.


Hope this helps,


Jim
