Hello,

 

I'm starting to look to j link programming. I have made a lot of searches across internet, and looking to the sample files, and I must admit, that i'm a bit lost.

I have several questions about it. First have read that it's a language quite limited in CREO, it only has around 40% of creo's capabilities. So my question is, what is possible to do with Jlink and creo. Another question, is where can we make the programs and debugging? last but no least, where I can find some demos, or books, or some material to learn it?

 

Much appreciated by your help

you can not work with feature tree in jlink (only with toolkit) but you can combine jlink and macros so theoretically it is possible

Hi,

if you select JLink item during Creo installation you will get a set of example applications and also userguide containing functionality range. In my Creo 2.0 installation, the above mentioned information is located in E:\PTC\Creo2_M190_JLink\Creo 2.0\Common Files\M190\jlink directory.

I already saw that folder. But I must confess, that I'm still a bit lost. Will I be able to create features? Will I be able to insert UDF located on specific folders? Can I manage parameters?

 

If you were starting a programming language for CREO, which one would you choose? And why?

I use jlink and there is no tutorial on the internet. Your only and best choice is jlink pdf guide. It is quite well written and you have to be patient to learn jlink. With jlink you can do lot of staff except of dialogs but you can use java one but them can not be displayed as window only like modal dialogs witch do not appear in taskbar.

Am I able to copy quilts from a part to another. I was thinking about having an attribute(name or a parameter) in the desired quilt and copy and solidify in the destination part.

Something similar to emulate this :
