Struggling to unbend sheetmetal through TOOLKIT (Parametric 11.0.1.0)

I'm reading the following article (https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS420647):

Trying to unbend sheetmetal through Creo's C++ TOOLKIT provided example (without user interaction) results in memory access exceptions no matter what I do.

 

Looking for alternative solutions, I've found the article above.

 

At the end, it says I could use the following functions

  • ProCmdSmtFlatPat()
  • ProCmdSmtUnbend()

Using Creo's interactive mode, but I can't find any reference for

this mode neither for the functions listed.


Where can I find these two functions?

This 2 commands are mapkeys, as mentioned in the article.

    Well, that's unfortunate 😕

    Apparently, we can not use mapkeys on TOOLKIT to press Ok buttons...
    It wasn't able to fully unbend the sheet

    You are right if you do this from scratch, but the unbend is a feature, most of the time the last one. You can just suppress or resume the feature.

     

    But there is Toolkit Code, just check the first couple of features for a planar surface White/Green and provide this as an input.

     

    With an asynchrones Toolkit App, the Mapkey could be an option.
