Title: Link to solid edge DFT file Post by timgolds on 02/23/06 at 16:00:36 Has anyone tried to use a link in EVO to a Solid Edge Draft file? .dft I can get it to work when I click on the camera, It pulls up to viewer and shows the picture, but when I print the traveler, I don't get anything. I created a "print DDE link but it still doesn't work. I'm missing something, anyone have an idea. Thks Tim |
Title: Re: Link to solid edge DFT file Post by JNAPIER on 02/24/06 at 07:37:48 I had a problem printing Thumnails on docs when I used the global path setting. I could see it with the cmaera icon but it would not print. I set the complete path and said no to use global and all printed fine. John |
Title: Re: Link to solid edge DFT file Post by timgolds on 02/24/06 at 14:04:19 John, Thanks for the help but right now I'm not using global. I think the problem may be in my DDE for the SE viewer. When I print from DBA, I end up with Print files in my temp folder. When I right click from explorer, It launches the app, send to printer then GPFs. I think the problem is with the app itself and DDE isn't implemented correctly. (not the first time I have had program issues with USG!) Thanks, Tim |
Title: Re: Link to solid edge DFT file Post by shadowcaster on 02/24/06 at 14:06:35 did you try an OLE link in a word Doc I use that for all my autoCad files J Dub |
Title: Re: Link to solid edge DFT file Post by timgolds on 02/27/06 at 10:40:32 Not yet, I'm trying to make UGS fix their program so I don't have to add the extra step. If they don't fix it, that will be my next step. I got a call today from their support and they don't have a clue what DDE is. I have a feeling their engineers don't have COM+ set up correctly ether so that's going to cause a problem with Word unless everything is converted to a standard graphic or PDF which is an invalid solution since our prints change monthly right now. |
Title: Re: Link to solid edge DFT file Post by timgolds on 02/27/06 at 10:43:04 Yep I was right! Invalid COM configuration. Their container is a different name than the app so you get an error when trying to import into word! |
