Question

*.bif generator

Hello,

 

I noticed that the icons in WF and CREO have the format .BIF.

It looks to be a format specific for PTC that represents the images as a text file.

Like this:

Are anyone know a tool that generates BIF file from classical format (BMP, JPG, ...) ?

It would greatly help to create Pro/TOOLKIT interfaces.

Hi Etienne...

A google search for "BIF to JPG" brings up several free converters and even some "batch converters" to do a host of files at once.

Here's the link... scroll down a bit to the "BIF to JPG" section: http://windows.podnova.com/trends/bif_to_jpg.html

Let us know if this helps! I haven't tried any of these software applications so do your due diligence and scan all downloaded software before running.

Thanks!

-Brian

    Hi Brian,

    Thanks for your help.

    Convert BIF to JPG is possible with this software:

    http://www.xnview.com/fr/formats.html

    But it's more difficult to convert JPG (or BMP, PNG...) to BIF format...

    And I don't find any software...

    Hi Etienne,


    I have also needed to convert jpg to bif when I attach an image to a button in my pro/toolkit project.

    Do you have solved this problem, or have some good suggestions?

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    why you do not use a GIF or PNG in your Pro/TOOLKIT project. This image formats also work fine. No need to convert your images to BIF.

    Hi,

    Thank you for you reply. I used to try using GIF or PNG formats obtained by screenshot, but all failed. If I use the image files in Pro/E resource directory, the control works fine. I don't know if this is caused by format.
