I use Visual Basic 2010 Express to automate TopSolid V618 in Windows 7 x64. Now i got Windows 10 x64 and trouble with definition of TopSolid.Application. The API examples of TopSolid Api documentation looks like this: Dim TopApp As TopSolid.Application TopApp = New TopSolid.Application 'This starts ...

Hi everybody, i try to check and change the Texts inside the Draft. I got the solution myself. :D :mrgreen: :lol: My VB Code is now working. Dim ListOfText As TopSolid.Set = TopDoc3D.Elements("$SET_ENTITIES_TEXTS") Dim TopElt As TopSolid.Element Dim TopText As TopSolid.Text For i As Intege...

hi codycousins, i am standing at the same point like you. The full automation export of bill of material to excel stops at the window "level choise". Here i have to expand manually. Option 1: You can start a VB-Programm that wait for this window and send.keys({ENTER}) Option 2: Inside the ...

Hi topzoli, thanks a lot. So i can optimize/speed up my current code. At the moment i have to generate a Bom to get the special Properties. Thats no more necessary. Do you have also any expierience with the API-Command "Analyse()"? I need to get the length and thickness of a shape without ...

thanks for your answer. I am happy that my little code could help you. I try to anderstand what you are doing. You SetTextProperty("$part_type_property", "I") of a "set". Do you "sort by" $part_type_property in your *.Bom-File? I read your code and i have also...

Hi Larry,

i use v6.14 and the API V6.8. My basics were Visual-Basic and DOS-Commands.
DIY-Training was possible with http://cadwithapi.blogspot.pt/
There you get the sourcecode of some Apps.

Best learning is to give you yourself a little project.

the solution is to use the lip-file for save command.

inside there is a command with some parameters like ....
- DWG or DXF
- version

works perfect for an automatic command for a list of files.

first step is to try to understand the toolsbars, commands and the lip-files. A easy example: edit reference of Element http://forum.TopSolid.com/files/refedit_715.png This button is inside the attributes-toolbar. The attributes-toolbar for the Design(Top-Files) is inside C:\Missler\V6xx\bin\top.icn...

that looks difficult.
I give it a try.
Maybe there is an API Code to modify this.

you have to use IAsks.AskElement(Element)
See Helpfile API for Information.

i can bring you a code-sample in the next Days.

i found a solutuion with a additional lip/lob file. I do the most steps like "topzoli" with API. and for each element i do this steps in lip/lob: - PushIntegerOnStack(ElementID) - PushIntegerOnStack(myBOMindex) - ExecuteMacro(LobPath) for examples i installed the Modul "TopLip" s...

Hi Lubos,

same for me.
I get more and more with VB and TS API to work.
To set element properties is no Problem.

But the index is only readable.
Maybe the official lob-Funktion can help you with this Step.

I will take a look next week.

The wizard is for creating a personal dialog. Examples by missler are only calculatings. But it is more possible. You can create a Dialog to insert a component with the correct parameter value.
