[Solved] Creating curves in TopSolid Draft

[olaio]

Hi,

I am trying to create curves using with an API.
I was well succeed in a TopSolid Design document , but in TopSolid Draft document i was not lucky . I recieved the following message: "Public member 'curves' on type 'IDocumentDraft' not found".
Can anyone help me to create curves (lines) in a TopSolid Draft document?

Thanks,

Hi,

Not possible, API not complete. Only if a lot call support for this point ...
I'm waiting for sewing curves (Report TopSolid n° 569163) since 04/2006.

You can use lip macro for everything, that is not directly possible with TopSolid API(v6.8).
C# :

Code: Select all

...
...
            TopApp.PushDoubleOnStack(0.0);   //z2  point2
            TopApp.PushDoubleOnStack(0.07);  //y2
            TopApp.PushDoubleOnStack(0.07);  //x2
            TopApp.PushDoubleOnStack(0.0);   //z1  point1
            TopApp.PushDoubleOnStack(0.2);   //y1
            TopApp.PushDoubleOnStack(0.15);  //x1
            TopApp.ExecuteMacroKeepStack(@"C:\Missler\Config\mylip\line2p.lob");
            Element line = (Element)TopApp.GetElementFromStack();
            TopApp.Synchronize();
...
...

line2p.lip :

Code: Select all

( Line by 2 points
STK IN  : 
POINT	p2
POINT	p1

STK OUT :
LABEL	line

REM :
)
CreateLine

Hi Beco,

How can I run a C# code inside TopSolid?

I am anxiously looking for this answer...

Bom dia,

What we did was create a C# program.
After create a lip file calling the C# program:

________________________________

(
FUNCTION launch Exe

WHEN WHO WHAT
23/04/06 MJO creation

STK IN :
STK OUT :
)

"c:\misslerV68\config\api\ProgramC.exe " 0 CreateProcess

QuitMacro

________________________________

Then compile the lip file into a lob file.

Then create a line in TopSolid menu to call the lob file:

________________________________

#Men#Program_C {
"#Men#File#Folhas 2D" #0,11,0,1 = $TOPCONFIG/API/ProgramC ;

Hi,

You need to install the toplip aplication, when you are installing TopSolid.
The is an option (toplip) when you choose the modules to install.
