Programming Mechworks PDM > DBWCommandShell > Event Scripts > Document

Description

Input

@DOCUMENT_PATHNAME	full path name of the opened document
@DOCUMENT_FNAME	file name part of the full path name
@DOCUMENT_FEXT	file extension part of the full path name
@DOCUMENT_FDIR	file directory part of the full path name
@DOCUMENT_UNIQUE_ID	when greater than 0, the unique ID of the opened document
@EVENT_TYPE	0: pre-event (called before opening the record) 1: post-event (called after the record opening)

Output

@OKOPEN

0: stop opening
1: procede with opening the document in the CAD

Remarks

The run of the script after an open event fired from the CAD or from a drag action in the CAD has been disabled to maintain compatibility with installations that already use OnOpen script for re-coding the document (OnOpenDocument is called for each components of the assembly even if not active).

The script executing sequence, when the document is part of a relationship is like follows:

1.Pre-event for main file (drawing or assembly)

2.Pre-event for each child

3.Post event for main file (drawing or assembly)

Then, if the user opens an individual child from the SolidWorks feature manager:

4.Post-event for that child

Example

.VBSCRIPT

sub main()
DBWInit(TRUE)
pathName = DBWInput("@DOCUMENT_PATHNAME")
fname = DBWInput("@DOCUMENT_FNAME")
fext = DBWInput("@DOCUMENT_FEXT")
fdir = DBWInput("@DOCUMENT_FDIR")
uid = DBWInput("@DOCUMENT_UNIQUE_ID")
DBWMsgBox "OnOpen:" & vbCrLf &_
  "Path Name=" & pathName & vbcrlf &_
  "fName=" & fname & vbcrlf &_
  "fext=" & fext & vbcrlf &_
  "fdir=" & fdir
end sub
