Topic Title

If you would like to add a new toolbar Icon in DataCAD for a link to this forum, add this bit of code to one of your two used toolbars. I suggest adding it to a custom toolbar if you have one, because a lot of the Datacad toolbars get over written I believe with DataCAD's updates, but don't quote me on that (havent used the standard toolbars).

For some reason I was unable to get it to work when I ceated a new button. It didn't launch Internet Explorer at all, and I did it exactly as shown.

If you email me your toolbar dtb file, I'll take a look at it for ya.

I would think you need to make sure the path is correct. Your iexplorer might be located somewhere else for some strange reason.

I have the feeling, which I didn't think of before, is that it has to do with other software I have on my computer (ie. firewall software) which prevented DataCAD from interacting with Internet Explorer.

A firewall wouldn't stop IE from being launched. It would stop IE from reaching the DataCAD page.


Search your harddrive for where iexplorer.exe is located and make sure that path is in your toolbar button.

I actually already got it working by changing settings with my software

Well then nevermind what I said.

Yeah, I should have thought of it before, but I didn't think of it until I realized the problem wasn't with the toolbar itself (since it was working on other machines). Thanks anyways.
