In a-synchronous mode you can easily write your own control structure und use while, for or what ever control structure. This example will open files, give by it full path and generate a STEP or IGES output. With Tcl it is very easy to deal with strings, this makes it easy to manipulate mapkey's.
#
# Main Action, Hardcoded here
# Input where ever you get the full path from
#
proc MK_Action {} {
set files [list]
lappend files c:/CreoTickle/work/models/blower.asm
lappend files c:/CreoTickle/work/models/frame.prt
lappend files c:/CreoTickle/work/models/nut.prt
lappend files c:/CreoTickle/work/models/piston_pin.prt
foreach file $files {
MK_Quit_Window
# Run the Mapkey
MK_Change_Dir [file dirname $file]
# Or write on the fly a config file
# MK_Change_Dir_By_Config_File [file dirname $file]
MK_File_Open [file tail $file]
MK_File_Save_As STEP
}
MK_Quit_Window
}
The complete code can be found in Mapkeys - Use Mapkey in Asynchronous mode
Using this is helpful for beginners, but at the end you don't have really a function feedback (Return code), and the map key's may change from version to version. But if you have a mapkey library it's for sure very easy to program. Generate all the mapkey can be time consuming as well.
