Hey Guys. I am new to this forum and I am standig in front ob a (in my opinion) big problem. I am currently working on a system to generate a certain part of our companies drawing number out of our folder cards and then just add a partnumber to the part itself to generate automatically our draw. nr. Therefor I made a template to generate automatically our normal folder structure including a completely feeded folder card. The Problem is, that I have one variable that consists of 3 other variables but this variable is only updated when I change one of the 3 it consists of. My support told me that it is not possible to update this variable with a dispatch. So I want to create an Add-In which updates every variable on a folder card. The only problem is that I have absolutely no idea how to make my own add in. Can someone help me? Thank you very much in advance and I hope my english isnt that bad that the problem isnt clear.
Hello Kristopher Naujock
I suppose you're familiar with C++, C# or VB. NET, and it's only the problem to find a beginning in the PDM API. In this case, you can download the source code from my first Mini Add-In here: http://bii.ustockburger.de/index.en.html#nav021
I programmed it only to get an overview of the API for my first PDM project, not to work with it in the future. It doesn't solve your problem, but it can be helpful as an introduction to PDM-API programming.
I hope it helps.
