RetrieveModel only puts model into session. However RetrieveModel ignores path. You have to use RetrieveModelWithOpts method instead. Note to use right path to your file. There is no such path as c:/desktop/xxx.prt. Path to desktop is always c:/<user_name>/desktop. This code will load model from path to session and than displays it in the new created window.

ModelDescriptor md = pfcModel.ModelDescriptor_CreateFromFileName("c:/users/<user_name>/desktop/xxx.prt");

RetrieveModelOptions rmo = pfcSession.RetrieveModelOptions_Create();

rmo.SetAskUserAboutReps(false);

Model model = session.RetrieveModelWithOpts(md, rmo);

Window window = session.CreateModelWindow(model);

model.Display();

window.Activate();

You can simply run macro and replace model name in macro string using method session.RunMacro

Use Retrieve model function to load the model in session

Use Model Descriptor to set the file name

You have to set the location as working directory

Models char* _ProMdlRetrieve(wchar_t* FileName, int Type)

{

       char* msg;

       ProError Magizchi;

       ProMdlType modelType;

       switch(Type)

       {

       case 0:

              modelType = PRO_TYPE_UNUSED;

              break;

       case 1:

              modelType = PRO_ASSEMBLY;

              break;

       case 2:

              modelType = PRO_PART;

              break;

       case 3:

              modelType = PRO_DRAWING;

              break;

       case 4:

              modelType = PRO_MDL_3DSECTION;

              break;

       case 5:

              modelType = PRO_2DSECTION;

              break;

       case 6:

              modelType = PRO_LAYOUT;

       case 7:

              modelType = PRO_DWGFORM;

              break;

       case 8:

              modelType = PRO_MFG;

              break;

       case 9:

              modelType = PRO_REPORT;

              break;

       case 10:

              modelType = PRO_MARKUP;

              break;

       case  11:

              modelType = PRO_DIAGRAM;

              break;

       }

       ProMdl p_model;

       Magizchi = ProMdlRetrieve(FileName, modelType, &p_model);

       switch(Magizchi)

       {

       case PRO_TK_NO_ERROR:

              msg = "Model Retrieved";

              break;

       case PRO_TK_BAD_INPUTS:

              msg = "One or more of the input arguments are invalid";

              break;

       case PRO_TK_E_NOT_FOUND:

              msg = "The model was not found in the current directory";

              break;

       case PRO_TK_NO_PERMISSION:

              msg = "The function does not have permission to handle this model";

              break;

       }

       return msg;

}

Now call the method

_ProMdlRetrieve(FileName(wchar_t*), FileType(int))


You can also use out to hold the model data

ModelDescriptor md = pfcModel.ModelDescriptor_CreateFromFileName("C:\\Users\\350154\\Desktop\\javaGUI\\modelgen\\dist\\mastemodels\\xxxx.drw");

  RetrieveModelOptions rmo = pfcSession.RetrieveModelOptions_Create();

  rmo.SetAskUserAboutReps(false);

  Drawing drw = (Drawing) session.RetrieveModelWithOpts(md, rmo);

  Window window = session.CreateModelWindow(drw);

  drw.Display();

  window.Activate();

But its failed to load the drawing file.

You have not retrieved the part/asm. This code will open drawing in new activated window.

final String modelName = "test";

final String path = "c:/users/xxx/desktop/";

ModelDescriptor modelMD = pfcModel.ModelDescriptor_CreateFromFileName(

        path + modelName + ".prt");

ModelDescriptor drwMD = pfcModel.ModelDescriptor_CreateFromFileName(

        path + modelName + ".drw");

RetrieveModelOptions rmo = pfcSession.RetrieveModelOptions_Create();

rmo.SetAskUserAboutReps(false);

session.RetrieveModelWithOpts(modelMD, rmo);

Drawing drawing = (Drawing) session.RetrieveModelWithOpts(drwMD, rmo);

Window drwWin = session.CreateModelWindow(drawing);

drawing.Display();

drwWin.Activate();
