Could someone at Datacad please give me a pointer. I am attempting to compile the AEC_MODL sample program in Borland 2006 and am getting an error message that the program D:\Icarus11\output\DCADWIN.exe cannot be found. I remember earlier that there was a constant that refered to the datacad demo program and I thought it was in the UInterfaces.pas file. When I do a file search the results point me at the Borland Project file, but I cannot locate the text in the file. Where is this reference and how do I change it?
With AEC_MODL project opened in Delphi. Select "Parameters" option from the "Run" pulldown menu. Under "Host Application" define the path for your Dcadwin.exe. This parameter does not get built into the compiled form, this path is only used when you are debugging the macro.
Note: If you are using DCAL headers for 12, then you will need to specify DataCAD 12 Exe.
