Creating and Assigning Material
Creating and Assigning Material
(OP)
Is there a way to assign a material to a part from a list.
Example: If I assign Steel to a part, I want it to ask what kind of steel: bar stock, flat Stock, or Sheet.
If I select bar stock I want to select from a list the available material types of bar stock we have in stock
(CF 1018). After I select (CF 1018) I want to select from a list the available diameters of the bar stock. I also want the assigned material to automatically fill out the parameter setting used in the drawing.
Thanks for any help

If you're feeling adventurous, take a look at Pro/Web.Link. It has commands for accessing and modifying parameters through Javascript written in a webpage (loaded up in the Pro/E browser).

it was from a vendor. It's seems to be closer to vb than vba .
They didn't get into much detail, but looks promising

if you chain a os mapkey in with another normal proe mapkey
ex;.... mapkey ed %wd;%tr;
and wd is a bat or exe.... proe waits till it's done to resume the mapkey tr
so you could use anything that compiles to a exe, gives you the ability to make choices and can write that to a .txt file ...vb,net,c,vbs..etc.
