Solid Edge and VB

Solid Edge and VB

Solid Edge and VB

(OP)
hi

I'm starting to write some programs in visual basic.
I have downloaded the 'programmers Guide' from the EDS-site
and I wonder if someone has some other websites or documentation for programming Solid Edge.

Any help would be much appreciated.


thx,
Sannie

RE: Solid Edge and VB

(OP)
I'm trying to program from Visual Basic into Solid Edge, but most of the things I try from the Programmers Guide (EDS site) are not working. So I'm looking for more easy learning courses or books.
Thx
Sannie

RE: Solid Edge and VB

The programmer's guide is not particularly uselful, I agree.  Do you have VB experience?  I have automated Edge from VB and it was mostly a trial and error type of thing.  Once you get the syntax down it isn't too bad.

Hi Satchmo,
Can you sent me an example of a program for creating a simple rectangle or so?
I have VB experience in Access only. So to create shapes in SE and make a form which allows to change variables in VB is totally new for me....
Thanks already, Sannie

RE: Solid Edge and VB

I haven't made VB create a part from scratch.  You can create a basic shape in Edge, such as a rectangle, and give the variables names in the variable table (length, width, height).  You can use VB to change these variables and save the file into a new name.  Is this anything like what you are trying to do?

RE: Solid Edge and VB

(OP)
My idea is to do anything in the kind of the "hexpro", which is build in SE as example. That the client can give his own variables. I've tried to build up a rectangle out of code in VB, but the connectionpoints don't give the good result, so the shape isn't closed and not allowed to be extruded. That's my problem untill now.
