When using Macro, How to use Right-button and Center Graph

[tpalsl125]

Hello, All.

I'm making a macro to assembly parts with Axis to Axis.

But I have some qustion.

When I click macro and waiting a selection, I want to center graph and tried to click right-button of mouse.

How can I click right-button mouse, when using macro?

Hello, Drewmumaw. Thanks for your reply.

The "Start command" method is only way?!

When I'm using a select method, I have to make an element with 'Cneter Graph'.

I made the test macro. But it doesn't work..

Could you check this?

Set Sel1 = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Selection
Sel1.Clear
Status0 = Sel1.SelectElement2(Inputobject, "Select an AnyObject", True)
Set SelObj1 = Sel1.Item(1).Value
msgbox SelObj1.Name
CATIA.StartCommand "Center graph"

You could try to use SendKeys to simulate mouse clicks and key strokes. That might be another way.

AnyObject can prevent you from doing this. change it to something else and try to use center graph during macro run.

Keep in mind that you won't be able to execute any more lines of code after the CATIA.StartCommand line (because CATIA can't know when that line of code would finish executing).

Thanks for your reply.
I made another script. This is also doesn't work.
Please, give me some tips for working. I have no idea...
I use Catia V5 R24 version.

set Selection1 = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Selection
selection1.Search "Name=*Steckbolzen_ZG*, all"
set Element = selection1.Item(1).Value
'MsgBox Element.Name
CATIA.StartCommand "Center Graph"

Thanks for your reply.
you mean there is another way without using StartCommand?
Usually, I used to 'Inputobject(0) = "AnyObject"'.
How should I modify the 'AnyObject'?

Hi,

I thought you understood that there is to complicate to use RMB click (personal I would avoid to use sendkeys method) , you have to think a little bit far, to the next operation which you want to do after RMB (in manual selection case). So, after selection, what you want to do? Try to skip that RMB...

General advice, if you want more help, try to explain more detailed what finally want to do. Usually, when my colleagues wants some automations, I'm going near them and watch what they are doing manually, just to be sure that I understand what they do.
