MODES
Mode in Pro/Toolkit means the type of model currently being
edited by the user
The possible modes are the options under the Pro/ENGINEER
command File > New
ProMode enumerated data type, declared in ProMode.h

MODES API
ProModeCurrentGet()
ProSectionIsActive()
outputs the mode in which
Pro/ENGINEER is being used
(example: PRO_MODE_PART,
PRO_MODE_SKETCH etc)
If there is no current model
than API retunes error
PRO_TK_BAD_CONTEXT

MODES API
ProModeCurrentGet()
 outputs the mode in which Pro/ENGINEER is being used (example:
PRO_MODE_PART, PRO_MODE_SKETCH etc)
 If there is no current model than API retunes error PRO_TK_BAD_CONTEXT

MODES API
ProModeCurrentGet()
checks if the sketcher is currently active even if the
current mode is part or assembly

MODELS
A model is a top-level object in a Pro/ENGINEER mode. For
example, in Part mode, the model is a part; in Assembly mode,
the model is an assembly
The declaration of ProMdl is as follows:
 Typedef void* ProMdl;
ProSolid is an instance of ProMdl, and ProAssembly and ProPart
are instances of ProSolid
All these object types are represented in Pro/TOOLKIT by opaque
handles

MODELS
This section describes Pro/TOOLKIT models. The topics are as
follows
Creating Models
Identifying Models
Models in Session
File Management Operations

CREATE MODELS API
ProSolidCreate()
 ProMfgCreate()
ProSection2DAlloc()
ProDrawingFromTmpltCreate()
ProMdlStartAction()

CREATE MODELS API
ProSolidCreat()
 Creates a new Pro/ENGINEER object of the specified type (Part or Assembly)
 ProMfgCreate()
 Creates new manufacturing models
ProSection2DAlloc()
 Allocates a two-dimensional section
ProDrawingFromTmpltCreate()
 Creating Drawings from Templates
ProMdlStartAction()

IDENTIFYING MODELS API
ProMdlNameGet()
 ProMdlTypeGet()
ProMdlInit()
ProMdlIdGet()
ProMdlDataGet()
ProMdlSubtypeGet()
ProMdlToModelitem()

ProMdlNameGet() &ProMdlTypeGet()
Providethe name and type of a model, given its ProMdl
handle. Type is enumerated data type ProType
ProMdlInit()
ProMdlIdGet()
ProMdlDataGet()

ProMdlInit()
Provides a valid ProMdl handle for a given name and
type
ProMdlIdGet()
ProMdlDataGet()

ProMdlInit()
ProMdlIdGet()
 Provides integer id to a model. It’s one of the way to identify the model(ex. Surface ,edge etc), the identifier of a model is not
persistent between Pro/ENGINEER sessions
ProMdlDataGet()

ProMdlInit()
ProMdlIdGet()
ProMdlDataGet()
provides a C structure that contains information about the
name and location of the operating system file in which the
model is saved

ProMdlInit()
ProMdlIdGet()
ProMdlDataGet()
provides the subtype (such as sheet metal) of a specified
model. Valid model subtypes are Part, Assembly, or
Manufacturing. This is like finding subtypes at the
Pro/ENGINEER File > New > Model Type menu

ProMdlInit()
ProMdlIdGet()
ProMdlDataGet()
the first step in building a ProSelection object that
describes the role of a model in a parent assembly

MODELS IN SESSION API
ProSessionMdlList()
ProMdlCurrentGet()
ProMdlDependenciesList()
ProMdlDeclaredList()
ProMdlModificationVerify()
ProMdlIsModifiable()

provides an array of ProMdl handles to models of a
specified type currently in memory

Models in Session API
provides the ProMdl handle to the model currently
being edited by the user.

 ProSessionMdlList()
 ProMdlCurrentGet()
 ProMdlDependenciesList()
provides an array of ProMdl handles to the models in
memory upon which a specified model depends. One
model depends on another if its contents reference that
model in some way
 ProMdlDeclaredList()
 ProMdlModificationVerify()
 ProMdlIsModifiable()

provides an array of ProMdlhandles to layout models
that have been declared to a specified solid model

tells you whether a specified model in memory has been
modified since it was last saved or retrieved

checks if the specified model is modifiable

FILE MANAGEMENT OPERATION
ProMdlRetrieve()
ProMdlSave()
ProMdlCopy()
ProMdlfileCopy()
ProMdlRename()
ProMdlBackup()
ProMdlDelete()

ProMdlRetrieve()
retrieves the model into memory, but does not display it or make
it the current model
ProMdlSave()
ProMdlCopy()
ProMdlRename()
ProMdlBackup()
ProMdlDelete()

File Management Operation
ProMdlRetrieve()
ProMdlSave()
equivalent to the Save As command in the File pull-down menu of the
Pro/ENGINEER menu bar
ProMdlCopy()
ProMdlRename()
ProMdlBackup()
ProMdlDelete()

ProMdlRetrieve()
ProMdlSave()
ProMdlCopy()
equivalent to the Save As command in the File pull-down menu of
the Pro/ENGINEER menu bar
ProMdlRename()
ProMdlBackup()
ProMdlDelete()

ProMdlRetrieve()
ProMdlSave()
ProMdlCopy()
ProMdlRename()
equivalent to the Save As command in the File pull-down menu of
ProMdlBackup()
ProMdlDelete()

ProMdlRetrieve()
ProMdlSave()
ProMdlCopy()
ProMdlRename()
equivalent to the Rename command in the File pull-down menu of
ProMdlBackup()
ProMdlDelete()

ProMdlRetrieve()
ProMdlSave()
ProMdlCopy()
ProMdlRename()
ProMdlBackup()
ProMdlDelete()
 Makes a backup of an object in memory to a disk in a specified directory. This function is equivalent to the
Pro/ENGINEER command File, Backup

ProMdlRetrieve()
ProMdlSave()
ProMdlCopy()
ProMdlRename()
ProMdlBackup()
ProMdlDelete()
 Deletes the specified model from memory and disk

MODEL ITEMS
 The object type ProModelitem is a Data handle
contains the item type, the persistent integer identifier of the item,
and the handle to the owning object
C structure
 typedef struct pro_model_item
{
ProType type;
int id;
ProMdl owner;
} ProModelitem
