Hello all,
I have a very interesting plotting problem I need to solve. First, let me set up the environment and model for you.
Catia V4 on a Unix workstation. I have a page template on layer 0. I have a filter defined that activates layer 0 only. On layers 1 thru 10, I have text and draw geometry that I want to plot.
Interactively, using 'Quick Plot' functionality, I would activate my stored filter, turn on layer 1 which would show my first page of text. I would indicate around the template and process the quickplot, then turn on layer 2 and repeat the quickplot.
Turn on layer 3 and repeat .... on and on until layer 10 is complete.
Now I need to do this programmatically. Questions:
Can I do this at all?
Can I do this using IUA, (so far I can't find any quickplot or plotting commands)?
Can I do this with a script - if so, how do I change layers?
Can I use C or VB and create an executable to do this? - I'm not sure how to make V4 calls from here.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
