Context in Drawing Mode
Functions Introduced:
The functions ProRibbonContextGet() and ProRibbonContextSet() retrieve and set the context for the specified drawing window, respectively.
From Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0 onwards, you can specify a context for a drawing. A context presents a set of commands relevant to the type of task that you are currently performing on a drawing. The contexts in the Drawing mode are Layout, Table, Annotate, Sketch, AutobuildZ, Legacy Migration, Analysis, and Review.
 To set the context to AutobuildZ, you must first set the configuration option autobuildz_enabled to yes. |
One of the arguments to the ProRibbonContextGet() and ProRibbonContextSet() functions is context, which is of the type ProRibbonContext. ProRibbonContext is an enumerated type, which takes the following values:
• PRO_RBNCONTEXT_DWG_NONE
• PRO_RBNCONTEXT_DWG_LAYOUT
• PRO_RBNCONTEXT_DWG_TABLE
• PRO_RBNCONTEXT_DWG_ANNOTATE
• PRO_RBNCONTEXT_DWG_SKETCH
• PRO_RBNCONTEXT_DWG_AUTOBUILDZ
• PRO_RBNCONTEXT_DWG_REVIEW
• PRO_RBNCONTEXT_DWG_PUBLISH
|
If you set context to PRO_RBNCONTEXT_DWG_NONE, all actions for the selected object are available in all contexts, except the contexts in which selection is not allowed. For example, the publish context. |
