Hi:

I am working on an on-demand part number generation and this is what i got as a useful link: http://extensiblecad.com/words/2007/11/20/pdmwe-api-201-a-simple-addin-to-pull-document-numbers-on-demand/

The problem which I am facing is my data card does not call the addin. I have used the command type : Run Add-in and mentioned the name of Add-in.

Also in Add-in how can i create a variable which would first take the value of a serial number and then assign it to a part number data card.

Do i Need to have a run-time variable. If yes, how to transfer the value of run-time variable to the other variable.

If there is a better method, please let me know.

Also how to call an add-in from the data card. I set the variable to call the add-in but doing just that does not seem to work well

I noticed that the add-in is quite old and I doubt that you will get support for an add-in that was published on a blog as an example.

You would be better off utilizing the API to write your own add-in (or contracting your VAR or a solution partner) to accomplish your goals.

Just for clarity it would be nice if you could tell us if the small bug was a mistake on your part, or if it is part of the code you got from the link. If the latter, please post the details so that future users can correct the issue as you did.

Thanks.

Hi Brian:

Sure. the only thing is when i clik on the command button. the command type is Run Add-in and the Name of the add-in should be type as:

Autonumber: name of add-in.

I was typing it as <name of add-in>.. my bad
