ProE mapkeys problem
ProE mapkeys problem
(OP)
Hi everybody,
First, I'm french so, please, don't judge me on my syntaxe.
I have a problem on creating a mapkey. I'd like to open a file on my computer and copy/paste some of characters of this file on a value box (like Mass properties on ProE). The first part of the mapkey is pretty easy but I don't know how to open a Windows file (through the notepad) and copy/paste these characters.
If someone could help me, it would be the best day of my life... I'm kidding but it'd help me a lot.
Thanks

RE: ProE mapkeys problem
I have also in the past created Excel documents which have VBA code to output certain cells to a text file. I then have a trail file that the VBA code tells Pro/E to run which regenerates parameters from the file.
I can get you some links to some other helpful posts if you are looking to do something like this.

RE: ProE mapkeys problem
Look at joltinjohn's post, that pretty much covers the process.
Are you trying to do it as a one time thing or have it so you can modify the part with several different text files?
