Our 3D CAD supplier models have been moved to 3Dfindit.com, the new visual search engine for 3D CAD, CAE & BIM models.
You can log in there with your existing account of this site.
The content remains free of charge.
In the following you can find details on how to adjust the behavior/visibility of PARTsolutions interface menu and workbenches.
The settings have to be done in different blocks (and configuration files):
Visibility of menus, workbenches, buttons
Basic
settings are made under $CADENAS_SETUP/ifacecommon.cfg
-> Block [UI] -> especially keys starting with "MN_". The settings
can be overridden in $CADENAS_SETUP/ifcatia.cfg
->
Block
[UI] by a same-named key. A detailed description on how the
commands in ifacecommon.cfg
and ifcatia.cfg
interact is found
under Section 2.2.1.7, “Configuring
PARTsolutions interface menu and toolbar
”.
[UI] MN_DisplayText_50=Einfügen 3D MN_HelpText_50=3D-Teil oder -Baugruppe aus einer Bibliothek einfügen MN_SmallIcon_50=:/cadresource/icons/paste3d_16x16.png MN_LargeIcon_50=:/cadresource/icons/paste3d_24x24.png etc.
Activation (initialization) of menus, workbenches, buttons
$CADENAS_SETUP/ifcatia.cfg
->
Block [INTERFACE]
If the
respective key ("_SHOW_" commands) is activated then the command is
loaded at startup. (If no ifcatia_start.cfg
is used.
See next point.) If the key is disabled the code and command will not be
available in CATIA. Details are found under Section 2.3.2.7.1, “Block
[INTERFACE] - Keys with "_SHOW" - Load function”.
[INTERFACE] COMMAND_SHOW_PSOLPartDataManager COMMAND_SHOW_PSOLPartConnect etc.
Determine time of initialization of PARTsolutions (optionally)
With the use of
the configuration file ifcatia_start.cfg
you can
achieve a quicker CATIA start, because then the PARTsolutions
initialization only happens when the first toolbar button has been
clicked. Furthermore in this case only those functions are available
which have been activated in this config file.
Excerpt from ifcatia_start.cfg
;// CALL_INIT_API3 ;// Define the Init-Level of PSC-Interface during the CATIA Start. ;// =YES : Full initialization of PS-Interface ;// =NO : Minimal initialization of PS-Interface <-- quicker CATIA start as result ;//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #:HELP;default;Define the Init-Level of PSC-Interface during the CATIA Start. YES : Full initialization of PS-Interface | NO : Minimal initialization of PS-Interface --> quicker CATIA start as result #:INACTIVE;CALL_INIT_API3:NO:LOCKED
In order to achieve a quicker CATIA start the "CALL_INIT_API3" command has to be activated and the value has to be "NO".
CALL_INIT_API3:NO:LOCKED
COMMAND_SHOW_PSOLPartDataManager=yes COMMAND_SHOW_PSOLPartConnect=yes etc.
(The same
keys exist in $CADENAS_SETUP/ifcatia.cfg
->
Block [INTERFACE], but will not be used.)
