7.7. Unified UI configuration

The configuration of the PARTsolutions interface menus and toolbars happens in the common CAD configuration file ifacecommon.cfg.

Example: Autodesk Inventor

Example: Autodesk Inventor

As of V12 the configuration has been unified. There is no separation of keys in basic keys in ifacecommon.cfg and other in specific configuration file. The complete basic configuration is represented in ifacecommon.cfg [41].

[Note]Note

There are no keys following the pattern "MN_XYZ_Number" anymore. With V12, numbers have been replaced by meaningful names. Especially when updating from V11 to V12, please pay attention to this point.

Left V11 - right V12

Left V11 - right V12

Example with the help of Insert model:

[UI]
MN_insert3d_DisplayText=Einfügen Modell
MN_insert3d_HelpText=Modell aus einer Bibliothek einfügen
MN_insert3d_SmallIcon=:/cadresource/icons/insert_model_3d_CAD_16x16.png
MN_insert3d_LargeIcon=:/cadresource/icons/insert_model_3d_CAD_24x24.png
MN_insert3d_XLargeIcon=:/cadresource/icons/insert_model_3d_CAD_32x32.png
MN_insert3d_Callback=?_CALLBACK_COMMAND("default_insert")
MN_insert3d_Environment=menu,part,app,asm,draw,toolbar

For the other keys it behaves in an analogous way.

Important keys in the specific configuration files:

  • MN_valid: List of keys supported by the system

    Example from ifadeskinv.cfg:

    seamless,replace3d,history,loadpsx,insert3d,geosearch,partialsearch,execlivesearch,
 togglelivesearch,documentscan,eventmgr,settings,licenseshow,info,help,about,repeat,
 execscript,licenserelease,topsearch,nativecheckin

  • MN_show: List of keys currently visible
