Summary - Batch file to set appropriate graphic config.pro settings

Summary: Batch file to set appropriate graphic config.pro settings

Original question:

I need help with the creation of batch files that would modify my local
config.pro to use the appropriate graphic settings.

When I am locally working in front of my Workstation at work, I use the
opengl option.
When working from home over a secure internet connection directly to my
Workstation I use the win32_gdi option.

In my config.pro I have these two lines of code:
!graphics win32_gdi
graphics opengl

Depending from where I am working is where I manually move the "!" sign.
I want to have a couple of batch files in my desktop that would do this
prior to starting Pro/E.



Best Solution:



Create a folder with a new config.pro with only the "graphics win32_gdi"
line in it (or copy your own personal config.pro to this new folder and
change the graphics line from opengl to win32_dgi).

Create a copy of the Pro/E startup icon and call it 'Proe_Away' or
something equally clever.

Right click on that icon's properties and set the 'Start In' field to
point to the folder you put that one-line config.pro in.

When working from home use this new icon.



Special thanks to Doug, Jim, Brent, and Andrew for their help.

Ronnie Shand
