need Command Line Arguments for Automation
need Command Line Arguments for Automation
(OP)
Does anyone know of a list of all the arguments that can be used when launching ProEngineer from the command line? I have tried searching the ProE help and also online, but I haven't been able to find anything. The only commands I know are the ones I have gleaned from other threads.
Right now I am using the following in a Visual Basic macro to launch ProEngineer using a button in Excel (see thread554-144905):
proe.exe -g:no_graphics mytrailfile.txt
The problem I have is that this only works if ProEngineer opens with the default working directory set to the directory where my trail file is located. So I would like to be able to set the working directory that ProEngineer opens in, preferrably from the command line. Is this possible?
thanks,
David

That solves my immediate problem; I would still be interested in a list of command line arguments if anyone can point me towards a source for that information...
