CAD transform programmability

David Bendes
Dear Everyone!
I'm trying to write some sort of an automation that can determine the translation compensation of EDM electrodes. The compensation is the difference between the CAD model position and the actual machined electrode position (we are using EROWA fixtures for high precision repeatable positioning).
For this task I need to use the CAD transform window to reposition the electrode by some 0.1 mm-s after each measurement, but it's highly time consuming. Is there some way to:
1. call CAD transform actions via VBA or any other means?
2. translate measured features by a certain vector all at once?
Thanks for your help.

  • Hi,
    the scripting-language is called AutoIt (freeware), you can find it here:
    http://www.autoitscript.com/
    Sorry, no way with vb/vba here, because the Transform-function
    is not in the PCDMIS-object-library.
    Big advantage of that tool here:
    you can automate the process of transferring the values
    to the proper input boxes in the Transform-dialog.
    The previously attached .au3-file contains the code, it can with
    AutoIt also be compiled to an exe-file.
