Help on "Pro/PROGRAM"

Help on "Pro/PROGRAM"

Help on "Pro/PROGRAM"

(OP)
I'm working with Pro/PROGRAM to manipulate various instances of a part with a family table.
The only-thing I found was the PTC guide Pro/PROGRAM Topic Collection (ca. 30 pages.) which is very basic.
Where can a find a good source about the working of Pro/Program, and especial exchanging parameters from different parts in Assembly?

RE: Help on "Pro/PROGRAM"

To Replace Family Table-Driven Components
You can replace family table–driven "components" according to design criteria automatically by using the lookup_inst function. With this function, you can search a component family table to find an instance that fits the values of the search parameters. If the lookup function does not find a match, it returns the name of the generic.

The format for lookup_inst is:

lookup_inst ("generic_name", match_mode, "param_name_1", match_value_1, "param_name_2", match_value_2,...)

- where

·   generic name—Name of the generic model with a .prt or .asm extension

·   match_mode—One of the following values:

-   –1 (find closest instance with param values less than or equal to supplied values)

-   0 (find instance with param values that match supplied values exactly)

-   1 (find closest instance with param values greater than or equal to supplied values)

·   param_name_1—Family table parameter name

·   match_value_1—Value to match against

Hello,

Thanks for your replies,

I have programmed a MFG for a part that has a huge variety of dimensions. Evenually I managed to solve but pro-programm is not very user friendly.
Is there somathing like an editor programm available,
many years ago when I programmand in Autolisp I had an editor with different colors for secions with opening en closing colons. Such think could be handy...
