3、料翻譯譯文</p><p>　　CATIA V5 的自動(dòng)化</p><p>　　CATIA V5的自動(dòng)化和腳本：</p><p>　　在NT 和Unix上：腳本允許你用宏指令以非常簡(jiǎn)單的方式計(jì)劃CATIA。CATIA使用在MS –VBScript中(V5.x中在NT和UNIX3.0 )的共用部分來(lái)使得在兩個(gè)平臺(tái)上運(yùn)行相同的宏。 </p><p&g

4、t;　　在NT 平臺(tái)上：自動(dòng)化允許CATIA像Word/Excel或者Visual Basic程序那樣與其他外用分享目標(biāo)。ATIA 能使用Word/Excel對(duì)象就像Word/Excel能使用CATIA對(duì)象 。 </p><p>　　在Unix 平臺(tái)上：CATIA將來(lái)的版本將允許從Java分享它的對(duì)象。這將提供在Unix 和NT 之間的一個(gè)完美兼容。 </p><p>　　CATIA V5

5、 自動(dòng)化：介紹(僅限NT) </p><p>　　自動(dòng)化允許在幾個(gè)進(jìn)程之間的聯(lián)系：</p><p>　　CATIA V5 在NT 上 ：接口COM：Visual Basic 腳本(對(duì)宏來(lái)說(shuō))，Visual Basic 為應(yīng)用(適合前：Word/Excel )，Visual Basic。 </p><p>　　COM(零部件目標(biāo)模型)是“微軟“標(biāo)準(zhǔn)于幾個(gè)應(yīng)用程序之間的

6、共享對(duì)象。Automation 是一種“微軟“技術(shù),它使用一種解釋環(huán)境中的COM對(duì)象。 </p><p>　　ActiveX 組成部分是“微軟“標(biāo)準(zhǔn)于幾個(gè)應(yīng)用程序之間的共享對(duì)象，即使在解釋??環(huán)境里。 </p><p>　　OLE(對(duì)象的鏈接與嵌入) 意思是資料可以在一個(gè)其他應(yīng)用OLE的資料里連結(jié)并且可以被編輯的方法(在適當(dāng)?shù)奈恢镁庉?。</p><p>　　在VB

7、Script，VBA和Visual Basic之間的差別：</p><p>　　Visual Basic(VB) 是全部的版本。它能產(chǎn)生獨(dú)立的計(jì)劃，它也能建立ActiveX 和服務(wù)器。它可以被編輯。VB中提供了一個(gè)補(bǔ)充文件名為“在線叢書(shū)“（VB的5.0）</p><p>　　VBA(應(yīng)用的Visual Basic)是一個(gè)Visual Basic的子集。VBA是在諸如Word，Excel或

8、CATIA的應(yīng)用托管。它提供了一個(gè)用編輯器，調(diào)試器，一個(gè)幫助對(duì)象查看器和完整的環(huán)境。該<TOOLS>+< REFERENCE>菜單允許申報(bào)使用的對(duì)象庫(kù)。這使得可以訪問(wèn)結(jié)果和對(duì)象瀏覽器。VBScript(Visual Basic腳本)是一個(gè)VBA的子集。簡(jiǎn)單的語(yǔ)言解釋基本法可以調(diào)用CATIA對(duì)象。沒(méi)有類(lèi)型被使用。系統(tǒng)動(dòng)態(tài)地嘗試調(diào)用方法和對(duì)象的屬性。(后期綁定通過(guò)他們的IDispatch接口調(diào)用對(duì)象)。</p&

9、gt;<p><b>　　支持的語(yǔ)言 </b></p><p>　　CATIA 支持的語(yǔ)言是： </p><p>　　CATScript :它是在V5的腳本語(yǔ)言，直到包容V5R7。從V5R8，它變得過(guò)時(shí)，并建議使用MS VBScript 或MS VBA 。 </p><p>　　MS VBScript：它是從V5R8首先使用的語(yǔ)

10、言，唯一的解決方案是允許有一個(gè)在NT和UNIX可移植的腳本。MS - VBScript不同于CATScript的是，這個(gè)概念在模糊地聲明一個(gè)X變量為Y不存在。 </p><p>　　MS -VBA：VBA是一個(gè)集成到CATIA和專(zhuān)用于VB的開(kāi)發(fā)環(huán)境，但只在NT上。 MS - VBA不同于MS- VBScript的是編程的舒適性和實(shí)現(xiàn)簡(jiǎn)單圖形界面的應(yīng)用可能性。 </p><p>　　面

11、板ActiveX可以加入一個(gè)宏，但是只在NT 上。 </p><p>　　如“Scripting.FileSystemObject“的其他服務(wù)被稱(chēng)為“CreateObject“，并只在NT中可用。 </p><p>　　對(duì)象類(lèi)型的聲明記錄在宏里（即使它不是在VBScript中使用），但它可以幫助你（在VB中與在NT上填寫(xiě)）計(jì)劃你未來(lái)的應(yīng)用。 </p><p>　　C

12、ATIA V5的文件擴(kuò)展名鏈接</p><p>　　在CATIA V5中雙擊打開(kāi)Windows資源管理器的“。CATPart“文件。在NT上，如果沒(méi)有運(yùn)行CATIA V5，它會(huì)自動(dòng)啟動(dòng)。 </p><p>　　CATIA V5的腳本功能</p><p><b>　　在過(guò)程中的應(yīng)用： </b></p><p>　　這是在C

13、ATIA菜單的工具+宏中進(jìn)行。當(dāng)宏運(yùn)行時(shí)，CATIA停用。你不能在兩個(gè)調(diào)用間存儲(chǔ)一個(gè)宏變量。使用VBScript（微軟）和VBA訪問(wèn)Windows NT和使用VBScript（Winsoft）訪問(wèn)Unix 。 </p><p>　　輸出過(guò)程中的應(yīng)用(僅限NT) </p><p>　　這基于自動(dòng)化。一個(gè)外部過(guò)程可以調(diào)用CATIA，創(chuàng)建或修改幾何，解碼，測(cè)量或試驗(yàn)CATIA。CATIA仍然運(yùn)行

14、。對(duì)于應(yīng)用程序的每個(gè)動(dòng)作，我們要檢查是否CATIA在良好的狀態(tài)同步兩個(gè)進(jìn)程。這種應(yīng)用可以被發(fā)展在： </p><p>　　Visual Basic </p><p>　　Windows Scripting Host(VBScript,JScript)，Windows Explorer HTML(VBScript，JScript)或者任何其他COM 應(yīng)用。在將來(lái)，V5自動(dòng)化對(duì)象的Java封

15、裝也將被提供。這將促使在NT和基于Java的Unix上應(yīng)用軟件的開(kāi)發(fā)，無(wú)論是在輸入進(jìn)程和輸出進(jìn)程。 </p><p><b>　　宏進(jìn)程</b></p><p>　　我們?cè)诩庸み^(guò)程中調(diào)用它,因?yàn)樵撃_本的解釋在與CATIA相同的過(guò)程里進(jìn)行。一個(gè)列表顯示了可用的宏。我們可以運(yùn)行，編輯，重命名或刪除現(xiàn)有的腳本，或創(chuàng)建一個(gè)新的。上述小組建議的腳本庫(kù)的列表是可以通過(guò)對(duì)庫(kù)的一個(gè)

16、窗口進(jìn)行修改的。利用CATIA的Visual Basic編輯器，我們可以編輯現(xiàn)有的宏或創(chuàng)建一個(gè)新的，插入圖形形式，調(diào)試和運(yùn)行VBA項(xiàng)目。</p><p>　　對(duì)話框的界面“工具+宏+宏...“允許選擇一個(gè)宏（一個(gè)宏目錄或一個(gè)VBA項(xiàng)目）或一個(gè)我們希望工作的文檔庫(kù)上。 </p><p>　　從這個(gè)窗口，我們可以關(guān)閉已打開(kāi)的庫(kù)，開(kāi)放一個(gè)庫(kù)，或建立一個(gè)庫(kù)。庫(kù)是按類(lèi)型顯示（目錄，VBA項(xiàng)目)。 &

18、中選擇。錄制宏生成一個(gè)對(duì)應(yīng)創(chuàng)建或修改對(duì)象的腳本再記錄序列里。停止錄音后，我們可以存儲(chǔ)，編輯重放這個(gè)腳本（稱(chēng)為宏）。作為一項(xiàng)規(guī)則，記錄一個(gè)宏可以幫助你學(xué)習(xí)如何編程的東西。</p><p><b>　　運(yùn)行宏</b></p><p>　　CATIA一啟動(dòng)，你就能執(zhí)行宏：CNEXT -macro E:\Users\Macros\MacroToRun.CATScript。&l

20、　CATIA V5R9通過(guò)自動(dòng)化功能提供能力從另一個(gè)宏中執(zhí)行宏。該功能可以讓用戶調(diào)用另一個(gè)腳本函數(shù)，在另一個(gè)宏庫(kù)中，可能在另外一種腳本語(yǔ)言編寫(xiě)。一個(gè)支持ENUM CATSys庫(kù)類(lèi)型是用來(lái)讓開(kāi)發(fā)人員介紹庫(kù)那種要調(diào)用的函數(shù)包含所在。(來(lái)自VBScript的例子) </p><p>　　調(diào)用一個(gè)在確定的“E：\宏\數(shù)學(xué)”目錄庫(kù)里的新增功能，文件中的“整數(shù)Math.catvba“，一種將寫(xiě)成： </p>

76、　　The interface of the dialog “Tools + Macro + Macros…” allows to choose a library of macro (a directory of macro or a VBA project) or a document on which we wish to work.</p><p>　　From this window, we can c

77、lose an already opened library, open a library, or create a library. Libraries are shown by type (directory, VBA project...).Every type of library supports different languages. VBA supports only the language MS-VBA, whil

78、e in a directory we can write in MS-VBScript or in CATScript. </p><p>　　Recording a Macro</p><p>　　The panel of recording VBA allows to choose the container in which we are going to record, the

79、used language and the name of the macro to be recorded.The syntax of the recorded script is going to differ according to the menu chosen. Recording a Macro generates a script corresponding to the creation or modification

80、 of the objects in the recorded sequence. After stopping the recording, we can store,edit or replay this script (called macro). As a rule, recording a macro helps you to learn how to pr</p><p>　　Running a Ma

83、>　　Execution of a Macro from another Macro</p><p>　　CATIA V5R9 offers the capability through an Automation function to execute a Macro from another Macro. The function lets the user invoke another scripte

84、d function, contained in another macro library, potentially written in another scripting language. A support enum CATSysLibraryType is used to let the developer describe the kind of library the function to call is contai

85、ned in. (Example from VBScript)。</p><p>　　To call an Add function that is defined in a “E:\Macros\Math” directory library, in a file “IntegerMath.catvbs”, one would write:</p><p>　　Dim args2(1)

86、 args2(0) = 3 args2(1) = 2 Dim addResult addResult = CATIA.SystemService.ExecuteScript ( "E:\Macros\Math", catScriptLibraryTypeDirectory, "IntegerMath.catvbs", "Add", args2 ) MsgBox add
