Creo Parametric VB API를 사용하여 PCF 파일을 읽고 열려 있는 활성 드로잉 모델을 인쇄하는 예제 코드 - By PTC

Excel 매크로용 VBA를 사용하여 PCF 파일을 읽고 열려 있는 활성 도면 모델을 인쇄하는 예제 코드

Creo Parametric에서 Excel용 Creo VBA를 사용하여 드로잉 파일을 인쇄하는 방법

PCF 파일을 읽고 열려 있는 드로잉 파일의 지정된 범위의 드로잉 시트를 인쇄하는 Creo VB API 예제 코드

 

 

1. PCF(플롯 구성 파일)를 읽어 드로잉을 인쇄하는 Creo Excel VBA 작업 예제 코드:

Private Function PlotSheetRangeWithPCF(ByRef IBaseSession As pfcls.IpfcBaseSession, ByRef Drawing As IpfcDrawing, ByVal PcfFileName As String, ByVal StartSheet As Integer, ByVal EndSheet As Integer)

        IBaseSession.SetConfigOption("display_planes", "no")
        IBaseSession.SetConfigOption("display_axes", "no")
        IBaseSession.SetConfigOption("datum_point_display", "no")
        IBaseSession.SetConfigOption("display_coord_sys", "no")

        ' Place your company standard plot configuration files (*.pcf) in a directory and 
        ' set it's full path as value to Creo configuration option pro_plot_config_dir.
