curve equation editor

Someone else's model. I'm trying to edit a 'curve by equation'

I presume when I try to redefine the curve through the attributes window
then notepad should open to edit the equation?

I get a dos style window flash up momentarily but nothing else - any ideas?

Cheers, Sean

 

Small correction: first make sure the config option relation_file_editor is set to
EDITOR not PROTAB. Second, nothing additional is required to launch NOTEPAD.
However, if you're lacking an environment variable (path statement) to the
directories with CMD.EXE or notepad.exe, they will not launch. Sounds like, Sean,
that cmd.exe is launching (DOS window), but notepad is not (or did it possibly pop
behind the graphics window; I ask only because of Pro/e's propensity/affinity for
popping windows and hiding them behind other windows~try Alt-Tabbing though the
windows, see if it's back there, hiding). BTW, I do not even have an option called
pro_editor_command in my config.pro and notepad executes fine for equations.
However, to get wordpad to execute, I have to add the option Greg mentioned and
browse to that directory/executeable. Anyway, it couldn't hurt to have the editor
explicitly called out, and definitely, Browse to get the full path into the option
setting.

 

BTW2, since this is a file from someone else, what're the chances that it has
recorded in it, some other application/location from what you're using; again,
path statements with full path callout and browse to any application and get full
path name into option setting value.

 

Thanks chaps.

Should have mentioned I'd sorted the first setting - pro_editor_command

Hadn't come across the second setting - relation_file_editor - this sorted
it out
