Topsolid online Help Index
TopSolid is an Automation server, and complies with the specifications of such, as defined by Microsoft.
This means that you may develop programs to drive TopSolid using standard tools like Microsoft Visual Basic.
As it is expected that this will be the most common way to automatize TopSolid tasks, this on-line help assumes that you are familiar with VB, and will use VB to develop programs to drive TopSolid.
To do so, first use the "References..." command of the "Project" menu and activate the "TopSolid v6.5 Type Library" that should be part of the list (if not, you need to run TopSolid once on your machine).
Once this is done, you will have an easy access to all of the API interfaces, with some help from VB...
However, using VB is not an obligation, and any product capable of being an Automation client, will be able to do the job!
In particular, you may write programs using script languages like VBScript or JScript and run them with the standard Windows Scripting Host provided in Windows 2000 or after.
