[WindowsXP - Anyone using it?]

I tried to install IRONCAD and INOVATE onto an XP Pro computer and the installation failed. Haven't been able to test due to installation failure.

[Windows XP support]

I upgraded one of our notebooks to Windows XP professional and then tried to reinstall IronCAD. The installation passed the operating system check, but failed with a number of 1645 (and nothing else) being displayed in the install shield wizard. The pre-req's published indicate support for 2000, NT 4.0, or higher. We have successfully installed on 2000 pro and NT workstation.

 

Do we need an updated installation package?

[VBA applications and macros]

Chris,

 

I've loaded the subject project into VB 6 and get an error when it tries to load the 3itlxs31.dll reference. The path in the project pointed to a location that did not exist on my system. I found the subject dll and put in the folder that the vbp was referencing and still got the same error.

 

"Could not create reference: c:\Program Files\VDS\IronCAD\3itlxs31.dll."

 

Any ideas on how to resolve this reference?

 

Jon

You can use the normal retail version of Visual Basic to save out IronCAD customizations externally.

 

For VBA customization documentation go look in the "Custom Stuff" forum for IronCAD, here for that documentation that the help file is referring to.

 

Here's an example VB project of the Bearings tool that might help as an example for you. I can not release the project for the gears tool.

[PC Board Assembly Generation]

Virgil,

 

Both files have the same name and seem to be the brochure.

Announcing the availability of the PC Board Assembly Generator for IronCAD 5.0 . Check out the attached brochure for details and the attached viewlet for a quick demo of the product. The products manages the import process for IDF 2.0 PCB files and generates complete PCB Assemblies in IronCAD or Inovate. It also includes tools for manipulating those assemblies inside IC. Feedback is welcome.

Chris,

 

Thanks... I have downloaded the material from the old stuff in the custom area along with the attached file. I'll start working through this to see if I can build what we need.

 

Thanks,

The help refers to accessing OLE Automation in the support site for examples using VBA. However, I can't find these examples. What I'm looking for is an example of how to create something like the Gear tool in the Tools catalog. I'm also interested in VBA apps that can provide a file|save or a file|open type of operation where we save/open the IRONCAD files to/from an external DB application.
