+This is a build of the Creo Parametric 2.0 plugin (64-bit) that exports

+The build interfaces with the Pro/Toolkit plugin interface. This build

-Builds are available for different versions of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire

-Pro/Toolkit plugin interface. The 64-bit builds were compiled on
-Windows Vista. See the INSTALL.txt file for more details and

-See "protk.dat" in this directory for an example. The exec_file must
-include the name of the executable file, and the text_dir must include
-the name of the "text" directory. In the "text" directory
-Pro/ENGINEER will look for a subdirectory named "usascii" for a file
-named "usermsg.txt". The "text" directory in this directory should be
-used or at least copied verbatim to where you want to use it.
+The easiest thing to do is modify the "protk.dat" file found in this directory.
+The exec_file must include the name of the executable file (i.e.,
proe-brl.dll), and
+the text_dir must include the name of the "text" directory.
-The "protk.dat" file must be located where Pro/ENGINEER will look for
-it. Pro/ENGINEER will look in your current directory and in
-Pro/ENGINEER's "text" directory (as well as a few other places).

+-------- End Example protk.dat --------
-The resource files (i.e. proe_brl.res, proe_brl_error.res and
-proe_brl_gen_error.res) also need to be installed where Pro/ENGINEER
-can find them. Pro/ENGINEER will look in its text/resource directory.
-It will also look in the resource directory that's in the text
-directory specified by text_dir in the protk.dat file (see
-line4:text_dir above).
+Place the edited "protk.dat" file in the following directory:
+ "C:\Program Files (x86)\PTC\Creo 2.0\Common Files\M020\protoolkit".
+Place the "usermsg.txt" file in the following directory:
+ "C:\Program Files (x86)\PTC\Creo 2.0\Common Files\M020\text\usascii"
+Place the resource files (i.e. proe_brl.res, proe_brl_error.res and
+proe_brl_gen_error.res) in the following directory:
+ "C:\Program Files (x86)\PTC\Creo 2.0\Common Files\M020\text\resource"
+Lastly, place the plugin and associated dll's (i.e., proe-brl.dll, libbu.dll,
+libbn.dll and tcl.dll) in the following directory:
+ "C:\Program Files (x86)\PTC\Creo 2.0\Common Files\M020\x86e_win64\obj"
-If the "protk.dat" file, the "proe-brl" executable, and the
-"usermsg.txt" files are installed properly, you will see the message
-"Installation of Proe-BRL converter succeeded" in the Pro/ENGINEER
-message window when Pro/E starts.
+Note - the installation point may vary, depending on your installation. In the
+examples above the installation point is "C:\Program Files (x86)\PTC\Creo 2.0".
-Once installed, the Pro/ENGINEER to BRL-CAD conversion is a two step
-process. First, in Pro/ENGINEER, you must select "Proe-brl" under the
-"File" menu. You will be prompted for an output file name, a starting
-region ident number, a maximum allowed error for the facetization
-approximation, and an angle control. The recommended value for the
-angle control is 0.5. After all prompts have been satisfied, the
-currently displayed model will be output to a file in BRL-CAD ACSII
-format (actually a Tcl script). The output file can then be converted
-to BRL-CAD by using "asc2g" or by sourcing the file in MGED using the
-"source" command.
+To activate the plugin, do the following:
+1) Start Creo Parametric.
+2) On the Home tab, in the Utilities group, click Auxiliary Applications or
click
+ Tools > Auxiliary Applications. The Auxiliary Applications dialog box opens.
+3) Click Register to register the protk.dat file. The Register auxiliary
+ application dialog box opens.
+4) Browse to the full path of the protk.dat file, select and click the "Open"
button.
+5) This adds the plugin to the "Auxiliary Applications" dialog. Select and
click the
+ "Start" button to load the plugin into Creo's "Tools/File" menu found in
the "Tools" tab.
+ If the above mentioned files are installed properly, you will see the
message
+ "Application "proe-brl started successfully" in the Creo Parametric 2.0
message window
+ at the bottom.
+6) Select Proe-BRL from this menu to launch.
+
+After launch, you need to enter an output file name, a starting
+region ident number, a maximum and minimum allowed error for the facetization
+approximation, and a maximum and minimum angle control. The recommended value
for the
+angle control is 0.5. Select the "Go" button at the bottom to output the
+currently displayed model to a file in BRL-CAD ACSII format (actually a Tcl
script).
+The output file can then be converted to BRL-CAD by using "asc2g" or by
sourcing the
+file in MGED using the "source" command.
