1、 南 京 理 工 大 學(xué) 紫 金 學(xué) 院畢業(yè)設(shè)計(jì)(論文)外文資料翻譯系： 機(jī)械系 專(zhuān) 業(yè)： 車(chē)輛工程專(zhuān)業(yè) 姓 名： 宋磊春 學(xué) 號(hào)： 070102234 (用外文寫(xiě))外文出處： EDU_E_CAT_VBA_FF_V5R9 附 件： 1.外文資料翻譯譯文；2.外文原文。 指導(dǎo)教師評(píng)語(yǔ)： 簽名： 2011 年 3 月 25日附件1：外文資料翻譯譯文CATIA V5 的自動(dòng)化CATIA V5的自動(dòng)化和腳本：在NT 和Unix上：腳本允許你用宏指令以非常簡(jiǎn)單的方式計(jì)劃CATIA。CATIA使用在MS VBScript中(V5.x中在NT和UNIX3.0 )的共用部分來(lái)使得在兩個(gè)平臺(tái)上運(yùn)行相同的宏。 在

2、NT 平臺(tái)上：自動(dòng)化允許CATIA像Word/Excel或者Visual Basic程序那樣與其他外用分享目標(biāo)。ATIA 能使用Word/Excel對(duì)象就像Word/Excel能使用CATIA對(duì)象 。 在Unix 平臺(tái)上：CATIA將來(lái)的版本將允許從Java分享它的對(duì)象。這將提供在Unix 和NT 之間的一個(gè)完美兼容。 CATIA V5 自動(dòng)化：介紹(僅限NT) 自動(dòng)化允許在幾個(gè)進(jìn)程之間的聯(lián)系：CATIA V5 在NT 上 ：接口COM：Visual Basic 腳本(對(duì)宏來(lái)說(shuō))，Visual Basic 為應(yīng)用(適合前：Word/Excel )，Visual Basic。 COM(零部件目標(biāo)

3、模型)是“微軟“標(biāo)準(zhǔn)于幾個(gè)應(yīng)用程序之間的共享對(duì)象。Automation 是一種“微軟“技術(shù),它使用一種解釋環(huán)境中的COM對(duì)象。 ActiveX 組成部分是“微軟“標(biāo)準(zhǔn)于幾個(gè)應(yīng)用程序之間的共享對(duì)象，即使在解釋環(huán)境里。 OLE(對(duì)象的鏈接與嵌入) 意思是資料可以在一個(gè)其他應(yīng)用OLE的資料里連結(jié)并且可以被編輯的方法(在適當(dāng)?shù)奈恢镁庉?。在VBScript，VBA和Visual Basic之間的差別：Visual Basic(VB) 是全部的版本。它能產(chǎn)生獨(dú)立的計(jì)劃，它也能建立ActiveX 和服務(wù)器。它可以被編輯。VB中提供了一個(gè)補(bǔ)充文件名為“在線(xiàn)叢書(shū)“（VB的5.0）VBA(應(yīng)用的Visual B

5、ipt 或MS VBA 。 MS VBScript：它是從V5R8首先使用的語(yǔ)言，唯一的解決方案是允許有一個(gè)在NT和UNIX可移植的腳本。MS - VBScript不同于CATScript的是，這個(gè)概念在模糊地聲明一個(gè)X變量為Y不存在。 MS -VBA：VBA是一個(gè)集成到CATIA和專(zhuān)用于VB的開(kāi)發(fā)環(huán)境，但只在NT上。 MS - VBA不同于MS- VBScript的是編程的舒適性和實(shí)現(xiàn)簡(jiǎn)單圖形界面的應(yīng)用可能性。 面板ActiveX可以加入一個(gè)宏，但是只在NT 上。 如“Scripting.FileSystemObject“的其他服務(wù)被稱(chēng)為“CreateObject“，并只在NT中可用。 對(duì)象

6、類(lèi)型的聲明記錄在宏里（即使它不是在VBScript中使用），但它可以幫助你（在VB中與在NT上填寫(xiě)）計(jì)劃你未來(lái)的應(yīng)用。 CATIA V5的文件擴(kuò)展名鏈接在CATIA V5中雙擊打開(kāi)Windows資源管理器的“。CATPart“文件。在NT上，如果沒(méi)有運(yùn)行CATIA V5，它會(huì)自動(dòng)啟動(dòng)。 CATIA V5的腳本功能在過(guò)程中的應(yīng)用： 這是在CATIA菜單的工具+宏中進(jìn)行。當(dāng)宏運(yùn)行時(shí)，CATIA停用。你不能在兩個(gè)調(diào)用間存儲(chǔ)一個(gè)宏變量。使用VBScript（微軟）和VBA訪(fǎng)問(wèn)Windows NT和使用VBScript（Winsoft）訪(fǎng)問(wèn)Unix 。 輸出過(guò)程中的應(yīng)用(僅限NT) 這基于自動(dòng)化。一個(gè)外

7、部過(guò)程可以調(diào)用CATIA，創(chuàng)建或修改幾何，解碼，測(cè)量或試驗(yàn)CATIA。CATIA仍然運(yùn)行。對(duì)于應(yīng)用程序的每個(gè)動(dòng)作，我們要檢查是否CATIA在良好的狀態(tài)同步兩個(gè)進(jìn)程。這種應(yīng)用可以被發(fā)展在： Visual Basic Windows Scripting Host(VBScript,JScript)，Windows Explorer HTML(VBScript，JScript)或者任何其他COM 應(yīng)用。在將來(lái)，V5自動(dòng)化對(duì)象的Java封裝也將被提供。這將促使在NT和基于Java的Unix上應(yīng)用軟件的開(kāi)發(fā)，無(wú)論是在輸入進(jìn)程和輸出進(jìn)程。 宏進(jìn)程我們?cè)诩庸み^(guò)程中調(diào)用它,因?yàn)樵撃_本的解釋在與CATIA相同的

8、過(guò)程里進(jìn)行。一個(gè)列表顯示了可用的宏。我們可以運(yùn)行，編輯，重命名或刪除現(xiàn)有的腳本，或創(chuàng)建一個(gè)新的。上述小組建議的腳本庫(kù)的列表是可以通過(guò)對(duì)庫(kù)的一個(gè)窗口進(jìn)行修改的。利用CATIA的Visual Basic編輯器，我們可以編輯現(xiàn)有的宏或創(chuàng)建一個(gè)新的，插入圖形形式，調(diào)試和運(yùn)行VBA項(xiàng)目。對(duì)話(huà)框的界面“工具+宏+宏.“允許選擇一個(gè)宏（一個(gè)宏目錄或一個(gè)VBA項(xiàng)目）或一個(gè)我們希望工作的文檔庫(kù)上。 從這個(gè)窗口，我們可以關(guān)閉已打開(kāi)的庫(kù)，開(kāi)放一個(gè)庫(kù)，或建立一個(gè)庫(kù)。庫(kù)是按類(lèi)型顯示（目錄，VBA項(xiàng)目)。 每庫(kù)類(lèi)型支持不同的語(yǔ)言。VBA 只支持語(yǔ)言MS -VBA，當(dāng)在一個(gè)目錄里時(shí)，而在目錄中，我們可以寫(xiě)在MS- VBSc

9、ript或在CATScript。 錄制宏該記錄的VBA面板允許我們選擇將記錄的容器，使用的語(yǔ)言和宏的名字被記錄。所錄制的腳本的語(yǔ)法是要根據(jù)不同的菜單中選擇。錄制宏生成一個(gè)對(duì)應(yīng)創(chuàng)建或修改對(duì)象的腳本再記錄序列里。停止錄音后，我們可以存儲(chǔ)，編輯重放這個(gè)腳本（稱(chēng)為宏）。作為一項(xiàng)規(guī)則，記錄一個(gè)宏可以幫助你學(xué)習(xí)如何編程的東西。運(yùn)行宏CATIA一啟動(dòng)，你就能執(zhí)行宏：CNEXT -macro E:UsersMacrosMacroToRun.CATScript。你可以在批處理模式下啟動(dòng)宏來(lái)執(zhí)行CATIA：CNEXT -batch -macro E:UsersMacrosMacroToRun.CATScript。

10、你可以以交互方式從“宏“菜單中運(yùn)行宏，你可以以交互方式從一個(gè)工具欄圖標(biāo)中運(yùn)行宏。來(lái)自另一個(gè)宏的宏的實(shí)行 CATIA V5R9通過(guò)自動(dòng)化功能提供能力從另一個(gè)宏中執(zhí)行宏。該功能可以讓用戶(hù)調(diào)用另一個(gè)腳本函數(shù)，在另一個(gè)宏庫(kù)中，可能在另外一種腳本語(yǔ)言編寫(xiě)。一個(gè)支持ENUM CATSys庫(kù)類(lèi)型是用來(lái)讓開(kāi)發(fā)人員介紹庫(kù)那種要調(diào)用的函數(shù)包含所在。(來(lái)自VBScript的例子) 調(diào)用一個(gè)在確定的“E：宏數(shù)學(xué)”目錄庫(kù)里的新增功能，文件中的“整數(shù)Math.catvba“，一種將寫(xiě)成： Dim args2(1) args2(0) = 3 args2(1) = 2 Dim addResult addResult = CA

11、TIA.SystemService.ExecuteScript ( E:MacrosMath, catScriptLibraryTypeDirectory, IntegerMath.catvbs, Add, args2 ) MsgBox addResult 要調(diào)用一個(gè)PrintReport（），在一個(gè)確定的子的“E：零件 Part1.CATPart“V5文檔庫(kù)文件中的“Statistics.catvba“，一種將寫(xiě)成：Dim args() CATIA.SystemService.ExecuteScript E:PartsPart1.CATPart,catScriptLibraryTypeDoc

12、ument,Statistics.catvbs, PrintReport, args 在工具條里增加一個(gè)作為命令的宏選擇你要添加自定義的工具和宏命令標(biāo)簽頁(yè)的宏，拖放宏的名稱(chēng)到你想要的工具欄，要選擇另一個(gè)默認(rèn)的圖標(biāo)，單擊顯示屬性。 宏選項(xiàng)界面對(duì)話(huà)框“工具+選項(xiàng)+宏“的面板允許根據(jù)語(yǔ)言選擇，編輯器將被推出來(lái)編輯宏，并且指定外部類(lèi)庫(kù)來(lái)考慮到腳本回放。Whith新接口，運(yùn)行時(shí)間意見(jiàn)的全部typelibs V5被自動(dòng)考慮到。除運(yùn)行時(shí)間意見(jiàn)(例如優(yōu)于)之外，這種選擇只為宣布typelibs 服務(wù)。運(yùn)行輸出進(jìn)程方案(只在NT上)該腳本是在另一個(gè)運(yùn)行在另一個(gè)進(jìn)程中的應(yīng)用程序中運(yùn)行，例如：Visual Basi

13、c VBA(在 Excel 或Word)，使用VBScript或JavaScript的WSH（Windows腳本主機(jī)），使用VBScript或JavaScript的HTML，CATIA可以從任何其他COM應(yīng)用編寫(xiě)腳本。從VBA或者Visual Basic運(yùn)行輸出進(jìn)程VBA和Visual Basic提供有用的工具：對(duì)這來(lái)說(shuō)，你可以聲明所有由Dassault Systmes提供的類(lèi)型庫(kù)文件（*. TLB）。該類(lèi)型庫(kù)文件包含所有對(duì)象，方法和公開(kāi)對(duì)象屬性的聲明。類(lèi)型定義允許的類(lèi)型檢查和“早期綁定“幫助完成給你所有屬性和對(duì)象的方法，給你一個(gè)方法的參數(shù)類(lèi)型。瀏覽器對(duì)象描述了全部的出口對(duì)象。下面是從VBA或

14、Visual Basic來(lái)啟動(dòng)CATIA V5的語(yǔ)句。 如果CATIA已經(jīng)運(yùn)行： .Dim CATIA as ObjectSet CATIA = GetObject(,“CATIA.Application”). 第一個(gè)參數(shù)。為空白如果CATIA沒(méi)運(yùn)行： .Dim CATIA as ObjectSet CATIA = CreateObject(“CATIA.Application”)CATIA.Visible = True. 這個(gè)宏開(kāi)始CATIA如果類(lèi)型庫(kù)INFITF.tbl被引用，我們可以作為INFITF.Application聲明CATIA。 使用Windows腳本宿主來(lái)運(yùn)行輸出進(jìn)程WSH支

15、持用不同語(yǔ)言編寫(xiě)，如VBScript和JavaScript腳本。你可以使用標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的編輯器來(lái)編寫(xiě)應(yīng)用程序。如果你的程序失敗，你將可以使用Windows開(kāi)發(fā)環(huán)境。它可以在Visual Basic開(kāi)發(fā)應(yīng)用程序，然后評(píng)論類(lèi)型和通過(guò)WSH運(yùn)行它。要運(yùn)行一個(gè)VBScript（*. vbs的）或JavaScript（*. js）文件，你可以使用CScript或Wscript命令。通常情況下，wscript.exe已經(jīng)與這些擴(kuò)展名相關(guān)。 在Windows腳本宿主的VBScript你可以在一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的ASCII文本文件中用擴(kuò)展名“vbs“為Visual Basic腳本寫(xiě)一個(gè)VBScript程序。在WSH，對(duì)象Wsc

16、ript也提供了GetObject和CreateObject。下面的代碼啟動(dòng)CATIA V5：On Error Resume NextSet CATIA = Wscript.GetObject(,CATIA.Application)If Err.Number 0 Then Set CATIA = Wscript.CreateObject(CATIA.Application) CATIA.Visible = TrueEnd IfBoltVBSript.vbs例子：看一看源碼。運(yùn)行BoltVBSript.vbs例子，你可以雙擊它。要運(yùn)行一個(gè)命令提示符窗口的一個(gè)例子，你也可以使用：Cscript B

17、oltVBScript.vbs或者wscript BoltVBScript.vbs 在Windows腳本宿主的JavaScript運(yùn)用如VBScript中相同的方式，你可以在一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的ASCII文本文件中用擴(kuò)展“js“為JavaScript寫(xiě)一個(gè)JavaScript 程序。 在WSH，對(duì)象Wscript也提供了GetObject和CreateObject。下面的代碼啟動(dòng)CATIA V5。 CATIA = WScript.GetObject(,CATIA.Application); if ( CATIA = null) CATIA = WScript.CreateObject(CATIA.App

18、lication); CATIA.Visible = true;BoltJavaSript.js例子 看一看源碼。要運(yùn)行BoltJavaScript.js 例子，你可以雙擊它。要運(yùn)行一個(gè)命令提示符窗口的一個(gè)例子，你也可以使用：Cscript BoltJavaScript.js 或者wscript BoltJavaScript.js 。HTML輸出進(jìn)程(僅NT & Microsoft Internet Explorer )在HTML中，你可以包括VBScript或JavaScript例程。微軟Explorer提供ActiveXObject（在JavaScript）和CreateObject（VB

19、Script中）函數(shù)來(lái)啟動(dòng)自動(dòng)化服務(wù)器。因此，它可以用這種方式調(diào)用CATIA V5。您可以訪(fǎng)問(wèn)Microsoft Development 環(huán)境來(lái)調(diào)試應(yīng)用程序。您可以通過(guò)“Script Debugger” “ Open”來(lái)從Explorer環(huán)境啟動(dòng)“Microsoft Development“。在HTML使用VBScript的輸出過(guò)程 在Microsoft Internet Explorer中載入“BoltVBScript.html“的例子。您可以點(diǎn)擊“螺栓“按鈕，在CATIA V5創(chuàng)建一個(gè)螺栓。您可以通過(guò)菜單+查看源代碼。由于安全原因，運(yùn)行腳本的一些警告信息，可能會(huì)出現(xiàn)不同的配置并且要是服務(wù)器

20、是本地或者不是。在HTML使用Java腳本的輸出進(jìn)程在Microsoft Internet Explorer中載入“BoltJavaScript.html“的例子。您可以點(diǎn)擊“螺栓“按鈕來(lái)在CATIA V5創(chuàng)建一個(gè)螺栓。你能通過(guò)+菜單查看源碼。CATIA V5的腳本介紹公開(kāi)對(duì)象的體系結(jié)構(gòu)，CATIA V5公開(kāi)模式，使得在CATIA的工作臺(tái)可以創(chuàng)建文檔，零部件，表面，線(xiàn)框，產(chǎn)品圖紙和許多其他對(duì)象。那些公開(kāi)對(duì)象提供屬性和方法來(lái)讀取和修改現(xiàn)有的所有對(duì)象。在交互出現(xiàn)的所有對(duì)象，可以從宏或輸出進(jìn)程方案編寫(xiě)腳本。關(guān)于對(duì)象，集合，屬性和方法如Visual Basic腳本語(yǔ)言依靠的對(duì)象。與CATIA，文件，窗

21、口，瀏覽器，配件，素描，墊.甚至直線(xiàn)和曲線(xiàn)表示為Visual Basic對(duì)象。 對(duì)象： 一個(gè)實(shí)體：例如：文件，填充，線(xiàn)。屬性：一個(gè)對(duì)象的特點(diǎn)。DocName = CATIA.ActiveDocument.FullName 方法：有一個(gè)對(duì)象的行動(dòng)CATIA.ActiveDocument.SaveAs yNewName 集合：對(duì)象列表。CATIA 集合指數(shù)從1開(kāi)始，而不是0： For i=1 to CATIA.Documents.Countmsgbox CATIA.Documents.Item(i).Name Next我們還可以訪(fǎng)問(wèn)該對(duì)象的名稱(chēng)集合： 例子： msgbox CATIA.Docume

22、nts.Item( Product1.CATProduct ). Name 我們用方法添加對(duì)象到集合： set myPartDoc = CATIA.Documents.add(Part)關(guān)于繼承和集中 在對(duì)象之間有兩種關(guān)系：繼承可以幫助你專(zhuān)注對(duì)象，而收集共同屬性和方法，集中是一個(gè)對(duì)象到包含另一個(gè)的能力。在下面的圖中，應(yīng)用程序聚合Documents集合。該P(yáng)artDocument對(duì)象是一個(gè)專(zhuān)門(mén)的文件，專(zhuān)于它繼承屬性的部件和文檔對(duì)象的方法。腳本基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施功能概覽CATIA應(yīng)用對(duì)象集合兩個(gè)主要的集合對(duì)象：文件和Windows。因?yàn)槎鄻有允窃O(shè)置為*文件收集了任意數(shù)量的文件。Document對(duì)象是一個(gè)抽象

23、的對(duì)象，只有其派生類(lèi)型可以被創(chuàng)造，這是PartDocument,ProductDocument和DrawingDocument。在Windows收集了數(shù)量的Window（S）和它們本身并集了一個(gè)并集任意數(shù)量瀏覽器的瀏覽器。窗口和文檔對(duì)象之間的二進(jìn)制關(guān)聯(lián)意味著該文檔對(duì)象是Window對(duì)象的上級(jí)。應(yīng)用程序和文檔應(yīng)用程序是全部CATIA 宏的根對(duì)象。這對(duì)應(yīng)于CATIA的框架窗口 。CATIA應(yīng)用始終為進(jìn)程宏命名CATIA。Documents集合提供一個(gè)方法來(lái)添加一個(gè)新的文件，另一個(gè)是打開(kāi)現(xiàn)有文件。 一個(gè)文檔可以是一個(gè)零件文檔，產(chǎn)品文檔或繪圖文檔。每個(gè)文檔提供它自己的方法來(lái)保存或自救。 附件2：外文原

24、文（復(fù)印件）CATIA V5 AutomationCATIA V5 Automation & Scripting : PresentationOn both NT and UNIX：The scripting allows you to program CATIA in a very simple way with macros on both NT and UNIX platforms.CATIA Use the common part on MS-VBScript (v5.x on NT and v3.0 on Unix) to have the same macros running o

25、n both platforms.On NT platforms：Automation allows CATIA to share objects with other external applications such as Word/Excel or Visual Basic programs.CATIA can use the Word/Excel objects as well as Word/Excel can use the CATIA Objects.On UNIX platforms：A future version of CATIA will allow to share

26、its objects from Java. This will provide a full compatibility between UNIX and NT.CATIA V5 Automation: Presentation (NT only) Automation allows communication between several process.CATIA V5 On NT：Interfaces COM：Visual Basic Script (for Macros)，Visual Basic For Applications (for ex:Word/Excel)，Visua

27、l BasicCOM (Component Object Model) is the “Microsoft” standard to share objects between several applications.Automation is a “Microsoft” technology to use COM objects in an interpreted environment. ActiveX component is a “Microsoft” standard to share objects between several applications even in an

28、interpreted environment.OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) means that the document can be linked in the document of an other application OLE and can be edited in that other application (In place editing). Differences between VBScript, VBA and Visual BasicVisual Basic(VB) is the full version：It can g

29、enerate independent programs，It can also create ActiveX and Servers.It can be compiled. VB provides an added documentation called “Books on line” (VB 5.0)。 VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) is a subset of Visual Basic，VBA is hosted in applications such as Word, Excel or CATIA. It provides a comple

30、te environment with an Editor, a debugger, a Help Object Viewer and Completion. The + menu allows to declare the object library used.This gives access to the completion and the object browser.VBScript(Visual Basic Script) is a subset of VBA.Simple interpreted Basic language Can call CATIA Objects.No

31、 type is used. The system tries dynamically to call methods and properties of objects. (Late binding calling objects through their IDispatch interface).Supported LanguagesThe languages supported by CATIA are:CATScript :It is the language of the scripting in V5 until the inclusive V5R7. From the V5R8

32、, it becomes deprecated and it is advised to use rather MS VBScript or MS VBA. MS-VBScript :It is the language to use first and foremost from the V5R8, and the only solution allowing to have a portability of the scripts in NT and UNIX. MS-VBScript differs from CATScript by the fact that the notion t

33、o declare a variable by Dim X As Y does not exist. MS-VBA :VBA is an environment of development integrated into CATIA and dedicated to VB but only on NT. MS-VBA differs from MS-VBScript by the comfort of programming and the possibility of realizing simple application with a graphic interface. Active

34、X with panels can be added in a macro but only on NT.Other services such as “Scripting.FileSystemObject” are called with “CreateObject” and are available only on NT.The declaration of object types is recorded in the macro (even if it is not used in VBScript) but it can help you (with the completion

35、in VB on NT) to program your future application.CATIA V5 Association with file extension A double-click in Windows Explorer on a ”.CATPart” file opens it in CATIA V5. On NT, If CATIA V5 is not running, it is launched automatically.In the Windows Explorer, with “As Web page” mode, a thumbnail shows a

36、 preview for all CATIA Documents. CATIA V5 Scripting capabilitiesIN process application:This is done from the Tools + Macro in CATIA menu. When the Macro is running, CATIA is deactivated. You cannot store variables in a macro between two calls. Access with VBScript (Microsoft) and VBA on Windows NT,

37、 and with VBScript (Winsoft) on Unix.This is based on AUTOMATION. A foreign process can call CATIA, create or modify geometry, decode, measure or pilot CATIA. CATIA is still running. For each action of the application, we have to check if CATIA is in the good state to synchronize the two processes.

38、This kind of applications can be developed in: Visual Basic，Windows Scripting Host (VBScript , JScript)，Windows Explorer HTML (VBScript , JScript)or Any other COM applications.In the future, a Java encapsulation of the V5 Automation objects will also be provided. This will enable the development of

39、applications on NT and Unix based on Java, both in-process and out-process. In-Process MacrosWe call In-process because the script interpretation is performed in the same process as CATIA。A list shows the Macro available. We can run, edit, rename or delete existing script, or create a new one.The li

40、st of libraries of script proposed into the panel above is modifiable through the window of libraries.CATIA V5 Visual Basic EditorWith CATIA Visual Basic Editor, We can edit existing macro or create a new one, insert graphic form, debug and run VBA project.Macro librariesThe interface of the dialog

41、“Tools + Macro + Macros” allows to choose a library of macro (a directory of macro or a VBA project) or a document on which we wish to work.From this window, we can close an already opened library, open a library, or create a library. Libraries are shown by type (directory, VBA project.).Every type

42、of library supports different languages. VBA supports only the language MS-VBA, while in a directory we can write in MS-VBScript or in CATScript. Recording a MacroThe panel of recording VBA allows to choose the container in which we are going to record, the used language and the name of the macro to

43、 be recorded.The syntax of the recorded script is going to differ according to the menu chosen. Recording a Macro generates a script corresponding to the creation or modification of the objects in the recorded sequence. After stopping the recording, we can store,edit or replay this script (called ma

44、cro). As a rule, recording a macro helps you to learn how to program something。Running a MacroYou can execute a macro as soon as CATIA is started : CNEXT -macro E:UsersMacrosMacroToRun.CATScriptYou can start CATIA in batch mode to execute a macro：CNEXT -batch -macro E:UsersMacrosMacroToRun.CATScript

45、You can run a macro interactively from the “Macro” menu。You can run a macro interactively from an icon in a toolbar。Execution of a Macro from another MacroCATIA V5R9 offers the capability through an Automation function to execute a Macro from another Macro. The function lets the user invoke another

46、scripted function, contained in another macro library, potentially written in another scripting language. A support enum CATSysLibraryType is used to let the developer describe the kind of library the function to call is contained in. (Example from VBScript)。To call an Add function that is defined i

47、n a “E:MacrosMath” directory library, in a file “IntegerMath.catvbs”, one would write:Dim args2(1) args2(0) = 3 args2(1) = 2 Dim addResult addResult = CATIA.SystemService.ExecuteScript ( E:MacrosMath, catScriptLibraryTypeDirectory, IntegerMath.catvbs, Add, args2 ) MsgBox addResult To call an PrintRe
