set Tolerance from Solid (TK)

[Eike_Hauptmann]

Hi @ all

I use a Toolkit DLL from JLink. I want to set the Tolerance Options. I think I can do it with ProSolidModelClassSet but have too Problems.

First is that I don't know if its the right command, because I haven't a option to set "ANSI". I think PROMODELCLASS_NONE can be ANSI but don't know it for sure.

Second is that always I set another ModelClass everything seems to be fine. If I click into (WF4) Setup - Tolerances - ModelClass, Pro/Engineer killed themself.

Everyone has a Idea how I can set the Tolerance Modes (DIN/ISO - ANSI) and ModelClass correctly ?

Thanks,

Eike

Eike,
First of all thanks very much for your participation on this exploder. As
a new member to the community and TC I am pleased to see your involvement.
Secondly, I apologize for the delay in responding to your inquiry. I
thought it was a very interesting question but I didn't have time to
research it until now. That being said I have no programmatical
experience with this particular topic however I think I might be able to
point you in the right direction. So, here goes...

First, the ProSolidModelClassSet API doesn't seem to have any bearing on
the standard being used for the dimension. It only sets the ISO/DIN model
class (whatever that means) to the following values:

PROMODELCLASS_NONE
PROMODELCLASS_FINE
PROMODELCLASS_MEDIUM
PROMODELCLASS_COARSE
PROMODELCLASS_VERY_COARSE


The only place in the Pro/TOOLKIT documentation that I found concerning
the ANSI standard and dimensions is with Ordinate Dimensions. Read the
API Wizard under User's Guide->Annotation: Annotation Features and
Annotations->Dimensions->Accessing Ordinate and Baseline Dimensions and
you will find the API ProDimensionOrdinatestandardSet/Get(). However you
will need the Pro/TOOLKIT for 3D Drawings to execute these APIs.

I know it's years later : )

But here are my solution for thread completness.

ProError setToleranceTypeF(ProName mdlName, ProName mdlType, ProName tolType, ProArgument** outputs)
{
 ProError ret = PRO_TK_NO_ERROR;
 ProMdl mdl = NULL;
 ProWstring *w_array;
 ProValueData data;
 data.type = PRO_VALUE_TYPE_WSTRING;

 // read the model
 if (wcslen(mdlName) > 0) {
  ProMdlType type = GetMdlType(mdlType);
  ret = ProMdlInit(mdlName, type, &mdl);
  if (ret != PRO_TK_NO_ERROR) 
   return PRO_TK_CONTINUE;
 }

 if (mdl == NULL)
  return PRO_TK_LINE_TOO_LONG;

 // save the status
 ProModelClass pmc;
 if (wcscmp(tolType,L"ANSI") == 0) {
  ret = ProMacroLoad(L"~ Command `ProCmdMmSetup` ;#TOL SETUP;#STANDARD;#ANSI;Ja; #DONE/RETURN;#DONE");
  ret = ProMacroExecute();
  ret = ProMacroLoad(L"~ Command `ProCmdMmModelProperties` ; ~ Activate `mdlprops_dlg` `TOLERANCE_lay_Controls.push_Change.lay_instance`; #STANDARD;#ANSI;Ja; #DONE/RETURN;~ Activate `mdlprops_dlg` `DlgClose_push`;");
  ret = ProMacroExecute();
 } else {
  ret = ProMacroLoad(L"~ Command `ProCmdMmSetup` ;#TOL SETUP;#STANDARD;#ISO/DIN;Ja; #DONE/RETURN;#DONE");
  ret = ProMacroExecute();
  ret = ProMacroLoad(L"~ Command `ProCmdMmModelProperties` ; ~ Activate `mdlprops_dlg` `TOLERANCE_lay_Controls.push_Change.lay_instance`; #STANDARD;#ISO/DIN;Ja; #DONE/RETURN;~ Activate `mdlprops_dlg` `DlgClose_push`;");
  ret = ProMacroExecute();
  if (wcscmp(tolType,L"FINE") == 0) {
   pmc = PROMODELCLASS_FINE;
  } else if (wcscmp(tolType,L"MEDIUM") == 0) {
   pmc = PROMODELCLASS_MEDIUM;
  } else if (wcscmp(tolType,L"COARSE") == 0) {
   pmc = PROMODELCLASS_COARSE;
  } else if (wcscmp(tolType,L"VERY_COARSE") == 0) {
   pmc = PROMODELCLASS_VERY_COARSE;
  }
  ret = ProSolidModelclassSet((ProSolid)mdl, pmc);
 }
 if (ret != PRO_TK_NO_ERROR && ret != PRO_TK_BAD_CONTEXT)
  return ret;
 return ret;
}
