Provides end-user application programming capability for the 3D software. Using Microsoft® Visual Basic, you can create a custom command that groups a series of commands and instructions into a single command that runs as an operation in the 3D software. As a result, you can access the customized commands that directly relate to the work routine in your operation.
Use the Visual Basic Command Wizard to help you build a custom command. For example, the wizard's first step prompts you to identify general information including command name, project name, author, and company. Start the wizard in Visual Basic by clicking Command Wizard on the Add-Ins menu. See the Intergraph Smart 3D Installation Help available by clicking Help > Printable Guides Command in the software.
After adding a custom command in the 3D software, you can edit it using the Edit Custom Command Dialog which requires you to specify the program identifier (prog_id), command name and description, command priority, and a command line of arguments in a string.
Delivered Custom Commands
The following list provides descriptions and ProgIDs for the delivered custom commands. Consult the Database Integrity (DBI) Guide and the Common User's Guide (Tools Menu > Custom Commands).
|
Custom Command |
Check Database Integrity |
|
ProgID |
SP3DCheckDatabaseIntegrity.CCheckObj |
|
Description |
Creates records for the objects that need to be cleaned. Run this custom command directly on a database (site, catalog, or model). Then, you can generate a report to review the errors that the Check Database Integrity command generated. See Database > Integrity Command in the Database Integrity Help. |
|
Custom Command |
Clean Database |
|
ProgID |
SP3DCleanDatabaseCmd.CCheckObj |
|
Description |
Deletes or cleans an object. Use this command when an action on the Check Database Integrity report is To Be Removed or To Be Repaired. See the Database Integrity Help. |
|
Custom Command |
Create Drawing View |
|
ProgID |
MenuDrawView.CMenuDrawView |
|
Description |
Saves and converts the contents of a three-dimensional graphic view window into a snapshot view. This command creates a rectangular object associated to a clipping volume, or volumes, in the three-dimensional model. Before you create a snapshot view using this command, you must have added at least one composed drawing type to the Management Console in the Drawings and Reports task. You can save additional views by updating the view contents and then saving the new design. If you used the Tools > Hide Command to avoid displaying certain objects, those objects are included in a composed drawing you create. To use the Tools > Snapshot View Command, you must have appropriate permissions to access composed drawing types. If you have only read permission, you receive a message that alerts you to this condition. After you create the snapshot views, you can add them to composed drawings when you use the Tools > Drawing Console Command. |
