MODES

Mode in Pro/Toolkit means the type of model currently being edited by the user

The possible modes are the options under the Pro/ENGINEER command File > New

ProMode enumerated data type, declared in ProMode.h


MODES API

ProModeCurrentGet()

ProSectionIsActive()

outputs the mode in which Pro/ENGINEER is being used (example: PRO_MODE_PART, PRO_MODE_SKETCH etc)

If there is no current model than API retunes error PRO_TK_BAD_CONTEXT


MODES API

ProModeCurrentGet() outputs the mode in which Pro/ENGINEER is being used (example: PRO_MODE_PART, PRO_MODE_SKETCH etc)

If there is no current model than API retunes error PRO_TK_BAD_CONTEXT



MODES API

ProModeCurrentGet()


checks if the sketcher is currently active even if the current mode is part or assembly


MODELS

A model is a top-level object in a Pro/ENGINEER mode. For example, in Part mode, the model is a part; in Assembly mode, the model is an assembly

The declaration of ProMdl is as follows: Typedef void* ProMdl;

ProSolid is an instance of ProMdl, and ProAssembly and ProPart are instances of ProSolid

All these object types are represented in Pro/TOOLKIT by opaque handles


MODELS

This section describes Pro/TOOLKIT models. The topics are as followsCreating Models

Identifying Models

Models in Session

File Management Operations


CREATE MODELS API

ProSolidCreate()

ProMfgCreate()

ProSection2DAlloc()

ProDrawingFromTmpltCreate()

ProMdlStartAction()


CREATE MODELS API

ProSolidCreat() Creates a new Pro/ENGINEER object of the specified type (Part or Assembly)

ProMfgCreate() Creates new manufacturing models

ProSection2DAlloc() Allocates a two-dimensional section

ProDrawingFromTmpltCreate() Creating Drawings from Templates

ProMdlStartAction()


IDENTIFYING MODELS API

ProMdlNameGet()

ProMdlTypeGet()ProMdlInit()

ProMdlIdGet()

ProMdlDataGet()

ProMdlSubtypeGet()

ProMdlToModelitem()



ProMdlNameGet() &ProMdlTypeGet()Providethe name and type of a model, given its ProMdl handle. Type is enumerated data type ProType

ProMdlInit()

ProMdlIdGet()

ProMdlDataGet()

ProMdlSubtypeGet()

ProMdlToModelitem()



ProMdlNameGet() &ProMdlTypeGet()ProMdlInit()

Provides a valid ProMdl handle for a given name and type

ProMdlIdGet()

ProMdlDataGet()

ProMdlSubtypeGet()

ProMdlToModelitem()




ProMdlIdGet() Provides integer id to a model. It’s one of the way to identify the model(ex. Surface ,edge etc), the identifier of a model is not

persistent between Pro/ENGINEER sessions

ProMdlDataGet()

ProMdlSubtypeGet()

ProMdlToModelitem()



ProMdlNameGet() &ProMdlTypeGet()ProMdlInit()ProMdlIdGet()ProMdlDataGet()

provides a C structure that contains information about the name and location of the operating system file in which the model is saved

ProMdlSubtypeGet()ProMdlToModelitem()



ProMdlNameGet() &ProMdlTypeGet()ProMdlInit()ProMdlIdGet()ProMdlDataGet()ProMdlSubtypeGet()

provides the subtype (such as sheet metal) of a specified model. Valid model subtypes are Part, Assembly, or Manufacturing. This is like finding subtypes at the Pro/ENGINEER File > New > Model Type menu

ProMdlToModelitem()




ProMdlIdGet()

ProMdlDataGet()

ProMdlSubtypeGet()

ProMdlToModelitem()

the first step in building a ProSelection object that describes the role of a model in a parent assembly


MODELS IN SESSION API

ProSessionMdlList()

ProMdlCurrentGet()

ProMdlDependenciesList()

ProMdlDeclaredList()

ProMdlModificationVerify()

ProMdlIsModifiable()



ProSessionMdlList()

provides an array of ProMdl handles to models of a specified type currently in memory

ProMdlCurrentGet()







Models in Session API

ProSessionMdlList()

ProMdlCurrentGet()

provides the ProMdl handle to the model currently being edited by the user.








ProSessionMdlList() ProMdlCurrentGet() ProMdlDependenciesList()provides an array of ProMdl handles to the models in memory upon which a specified model depends. One model depends on another if its contents reference that model in some way

ProMdlDeclaredList() ProMdlModificationVerify() ProMdlIsModifiable()




ProSessionMdlList()

ProMdlCurrentGet()



provides an array of ProMdlhandles to layout models that have been declared to a specified solid model






ProSessionMdlList()

ProMdlCurrentGet()




tells you whether a specified model in memory has been modified since it was last saved or retrieved





ProSessionMdlList()

ProMdlCurrentGet()





checks if the specified model is modifiable


FILE MANAGEMENT OPERATION

ProMdlRetrieve()

ProMdlSave()

ProMdlCopy()

ProMdlfileCopy()

ProMdlRename()

ProMdlBackup()

ProMdlDelete()



ProMdlRetrieve() retrieves the model into memory, but does not display it or make it the current model

ProMdlSave()

ProMdlCopy()

ProMdlRename()

ProMdlBackup()

ProMdlDelete()



File Management Operation

ProMdlRetrieve()

ProMdlSave()equivalent to the Save As command in the File pull-down menu of the Pro/ENGINEER menu bar

ProMdlCopy()

ProMdlRename()

ProMdlBackup()

ProMdlDelete()




ProMdlRetrieve()

ProMdlSave()

ProMdlCopy()equivalent to the Save As command in the File pull-down menu of the Pro/ENGINEER menu bar

ProMdlRename()

ProMdlBackup()

ProMdlDelete()




ProMdlRetrieve()

ProMdlSave()

ProMdlCopy()

ProMdlRename()equivalent to the Save As command in the File pull-down menu of the Pro/ENGINEER menu bar

ProMdlBackup()

ProMdlDelete()




ProMdlRetrieve()

ProMdlSave()

ProMdlCopy()

ProMdlRename()equivalent to the Rename command in the File pull-down menu of the Pro/ENGINEER menu bar

ProMdlBackup()

ProMdlDelete()




ProMdlRetrieve()

ProMdlSave()

ProMdlCopy()

ProMdlRename()

ProMdlBackup()

ProMdlDelete() Makes a backup of an object in memory to a disk in a specified directory. This function is equivalent to the

Pro/ENGINEER command File, Backup




ProMdlRetrieve()

ProMdlSave()

ProMdlCopy()

ProMdlRename()

ProMdlBackup()

ProMdlDelete() Deletes the specified model from memory and disk


MODEL ITEMS

The object type ProModelitem is a Data handle

contains the item type, the persistent integer identifier of the item, and the handle to the owning object

C structure typedef struct pro_model_item

{

ProType type;

int id;

ProMdl owner;

} ProModelitem
