Is there anything like running macros in PC-DMIS???

Jeffrey Whitney

I was just wondering if there was any way I could automate certain tasks while I'm in a program. 

Easy example, I'm converting a group of programs to go from legacy to geotol and it would be great to delete all the analysis views in the program by clicking a button. (That way, as I go through and replace all the legacy dimensions with geotol dimensions, I don't have to delete and re-add, I could just add. 

I know you have vbscripting but that seems to be more designed to run when the program runs, not what I'm talking about....

    You can attach a vb script to a toolbar icon and it will function like your own customized command.  In your case, the script would iterate through the routine looking for (and removing) analysis view commands.

    Dim PCDapp As Object
Dim PPs As Object
Dim PP As Object
Dim Cmds As Object
Dim Cmd As Object
Dim NewName As String
Dim  ExistingSchema As Long

Sub Main (DimName As String, SegNum As Integer,DatNum As Integer, DatFeatNum As Integer)
  Set PCDapp=createObject("PCDLRN.Application")
  Set PP=PCDapp.ActivePartProgram
  Set Cmds=PP.Commands

  For Each Cmd In Cmds
    If Cmd.Type = 176 Then ' 176 = Analysis View
      Cmd.remove
    End If
  Next Cmd

  PP.RefreshPart

  Set Cmd = Nothing
  Set Cmds = Nothing
  Set PP = Nothing
  Set PCDApp = Nothing
End Sub

    1) Copy that code into the PC-DMIS basic script editor window and save it to your PC.

    2) Add a custom menu item : PC-DMIS Help Center - 2023.1 (hexagonmi.com) that points to the file (.bas extension)

    3) Create a custom toolbar icon for the new menu item: PC-DMIS Help Center - 2023.1 (hexagonmi.com)
