CATDUAV5 and links in VBA project.
CATDUAV5 and links in VBA project.
(OP)
First of all, congrats on your wonderful webpage. The content you all include here makes the job of us easier day by day.
I am currently facing some harsh problems. Trying to soften some tedious project management complexities. I am to develop a tool to bypass some checkings and trying to unify two company standards through a VBA project.
The case is that i am trying to run CATDUAV5 and I am not finding any solution to do it automatedly. Furthermore, I was asked to modify links within a .CATpart and I am not being successfull here either.
I was wondering if there is a way to run CATDUA and if there is a way to manage links, everything within a VBA project.
Thank you for your consideration, keep up the amazing work.

As per my information CATDUA is not available for VBA Automation .
But you can do it through CAA.
RE: CATDUAV5 and links in VBA project.
I do not have access to CAA, nor I am familiar with it. I was told that it needs licensing or something similar, don't it?.
Doing some research I found out two ways to try and bypass the lack of methods.
The first one is to try and open desk and CATDUA through CATIA.StartCommand "desk..." and CATIA.StartCommand "CATDUAV5" then try son SENDKEYS to select the Clear option (sending tab and enter). The problem is that I can not select between the options. A possible solution is to try and script the mouse to click on "Clear" but i do not know how to do it.
The second consist of analizing through batch. Creating a prototipe Batch and sending keys in order to make it run.
No profit either way ATM.
