Hello everybody,
First of all, I would like to apologize for my English
My main project is to generate automatically a list of all the parts, assemblies (which are in folders and sub-folders) in an Excel sheet.
For each line, tell if there is a drawing of this file and some information about this drawing (format, drawer etc... which are always in the same place in the drawing)
Right now it's working for Catia, I have done a macro on Excel to generate a basic list of files, and a macro on Catia to open all the drawings, take the information wanted and add it to the right line in Excel.
So now it's the turn of Pro/E !
I have no experience in programming with Pro/E, but when I read forums, websites etc...it looks the mess. I get lost between Pro/Weblink, Pro/E VB API, J-Link, Pro/Toolkit, the trails files. I can't find any tutorial on internet about how to start an API with Pro/E.
From your experience, which API can you advice me, and how can I start it ?
(I know that I can't use Pro/E VB because it starts with Wildfire 4 and I'm using a previous version)
Thank you,
Thomas
