2.2.5. Dialog "Choose Application"

If several applications are already running, when clicking on a function such as Insert model or Execute Geometric Search, the dialog box Choose Application is opened by default.

Please choose target application

Please choose target application

The user decides whether e.g. PARTdataManager or 3Dfind.it shall be opened.

Respective commands are specified in ifacecommon.cfg by default.

Example:

When calling Execute Geometric Search, in the background the following command is executed by default.

MN_geosearch_Callback=?_CALLBACK_COMMAND("Default_ExecGeoSearch")

Actually this leads to the following:

Default_ExecGeoSearch=GetObject("iface.geosearch.callback").Execute(Application,
"mode=default,Interactive=1,OrderGet=GetCadConnector;GetPartDataManager,
OrderStart=StartCadConnector;StartPartDataManager")

If you would like to make changes, in the specific configuration file if<cadname>.cfg, set the detailed command and perform the desired changes.

  • CadConnector stands for 3DFind.it.

  • Interactive (0/1)

    1: If several applications are running, the dialog box is opened with a query, which application shall be used for the called function. If no application is running yet, the sequence specified under OrderStart is used.

    0: No selection dialog will be opened. The first found application acts as target. If none is found, the sequence specified under OrderStart is used.

  • OrderStart: Definition of starting sequence
