Pro engineer wildfire 4.0 installation guide

Some special environment variables are required for J-link, which we will cover when we touch that topic. There are two ways of creating a synchronous application; Spawn mode and DLL mode. This mode is slower as compared with the DLL mode but while developing an application, this mode is recommended as it is easier to debug a smaller application.

This mode is much faster than the spawn mode. This mode should be used when the application has to be released for the end users. Asynchronous Application : In this mode, the executable file has its own main function. Which means it can exist independently.

So, any event user click, feature failure etc will not be passed on to the application to react to it. The first way is to create a project in Visual Studio and then compile the code. If you have prior experience in Visual studio I would highly recommend it. Otherwise for a new user it would be better if we follow the command prompt way of compiling to start with and then moving on to Visual Studio.

In the command prompt mode we normally set the environment variables of the VC compiler in the command window and then compile our code with the "nmake" option. I would encourage all to use the make files supplied by PTC. Throughout this blog I will use the PTC's makefiles to compile my applications. Makefile : I will be covering the Makefile in more details later on. Again, do let me know if you find this blog interesting, do leave me a comment; I will be happy to interact with you.

I will use the command prompt for compiling the code with the help of PTC provided standard make files. Now open the file with any text editor and edit the text in the file as shown below:. Save the file and exit the editor. Now the second task is to get the source code going.

We will open a text editor again and write the code as shown below The name of the code file should be tkapp. Save the file as tkapp. Open a command prompt and then go to the directory which was created in step 1. Please refer to the command line snapshot below for more details.

Once the application is ready we will have to just make a protk. The protk. I am pasting the contents of the protk. For details about the contents of the protk. After having the protk. This is a skeleton application to have us up and running. The digit number with hyphens is your Host ID. The Windows IP Configuration information appears. Locate the line with the words Physical Address. Physical Address. You may have a syntax or spelling error.

The Control Panel appears. Double-click System. Click the Advanced tab and click Environment Variables. The Environment Variables page appears. All values are separated by a semicolon. Between the semicolons, fix the PATH variable to the correct location of your load point.
