Does anyone know of a list of all the arguments that can be used when launching ProEngineer from the command line? I have tried searching the ProE help and also online, but I haven't been able to find anything. The only commands I know are the ones I have gleaned from other threads.

Right now I am using the following in a Visual Basic macro to launch ProEngineer using a button in Excel (see thread554-144905):

proe.exe -g:no_graphics mytrailfile.txt

The problem I have is that this only works if ProEngineer opens with the default working directory set to the directory where my trail file is located. So I would like to be able to set the working directory that ProEngineer opens in, preferrably from the command line. Is this possible?

thanks,
David

set the path to your trail file in the command line.
proe.exe -g:nographics c:\trail_file_dir\mytrailfile.txt

Thank you looslib, I can't believe I didn't think of that!

That solves my immediate problem; I would still be interested in a list of command line arguments if anyone can point me towards a source for that information...

thanks,
David
