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.[102]

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 application found acts as target. If none is found, the sequence specified under OrderStart is used.
