3D IGES: VBScript macros

You can automate Data exchanges with IGES using VBScript macros, either at import
or at export

Import
1. Create a RunTime window (window in which all runtime variables a set)
2. Type the command:cnext -macro MyMacro.CATScript
where MyMacro.CATScript is the VBScript macro you want to execute.

The input files must be writable (not read only). Otherwise the system will display
an information box and wait for an acknowledge.
The output file must not exist in the output directory otherwise the system will
ask for a confirmation to overwrite the file and wait for an acknowledge.
You can transfer several files within the same VBScript macro, but it is
recommended to do only one transfer per VBScript macro.

Example
VBScript macro for implementing a IGES file
Language="VBScript"
Sub CATMain()
Dim Document0 As Document
' Reading an IGES file
Set Document0 = CATIA.Documents.Open( "E:\tmp\Box.igs" )
' Saving the corresponding CATPart
CATIA.ActiveDocument.SaveAs "E:\tmp\Box"
CATIA.Quit
End Sub

Export
1. Create a RunTime window (window in which all runtime variables are set):
2. Type the command:cnext -macro MyMacro.CATScript
where MyMacro. CATScript is the VBScript macro you want to execute.

The input files must be writable (not read only). Otherwise the system will display
an information box and wait for an acknowledge.
The output file must not exist in the output directory otherwise the system will
ask for a confirmation to overwrite the file and wait for an acknowledge.
You can transfer several files within the same VBScript macro, but it is recommended
to do only one transfer per VBScript macro

Example
VBScript macro for exporting a file to IGES

Language="VBScript"
Sub CATMain()
Dim PartDocument0 As Document
' Reading a CATPart file
Set PartDocument0 = CATIA.Documents.Open ( "E:\tmp\Box.CATPart" )
' Saving the part in a IGES file
PartDocument0.ExportData "E:\tmp\Box2", "igs"
CATIA.Quit
End Sub
