Question

How do I integrate a 3D Controller with Pro/E Wildfire 4.0

I have a 3D contoller that I want to use with Pro/E. However, it doesn't have any drivers that will automatically interface with it.

How would I go about getting this controller to work with Pro/E?

 

I've already written a small program that will pass motion variables to Pro Engineer, but I don't know where to plug those variables in/ how to integrate my program with Pro/E.

 

Could I use the VB API to do this?

I don't know any specifics but maybe this will point you in the right direction. My 3D mouse interfaces through a protk.dat file (pro toolkit). This specifies the dll and location for Pro/E.

What is the pro toolkit? So are you saying that Pro E useed a specific dll file for this task?

The protk.dat file tells Pro/E Creo where the dll for the device/program is located and what the program is called. The dll is from the manufacturer of the 3D mouse. What kind of 3D mouse do you have?
