| What
is a plug-in? |
A
plug-in is an application that is accessed from within the AllFusion
Gen toolset. Because the application has been launched from the toolset,
it is able to directly access and update the model and hence provide
more functions than an application that is launched outside of the
toolset. |
| Why
do I need the Solutions Console? |
The
Solutions Console overview page
describes the benefits of using the Solutions Console. |
| What
version of Gen does the Solutions Console require? |
The
Solutions Console requires the Gen plug-in facility and will work
with AllFusion Gen 6.5 and above. |
| What
plug-ins are available with the Console |
The
Console does not include any plug-ins. These are downloaded from the
vendor sites. The Console tree view shows you which plug-ins are available
and provides links so that you can download and install the plug-ins. |
| Is
the Console free? |
Yes,
the Solutions Console is provided free of charge. |
| Are
the plug-ins free? |
Some
of the plug-ins are free and many of the plug-ins can be evaluated
for a trial period. |
| What
about my current plug-ins? |
You
can import plug-ins from the Gen plug-in menu to the Console so that
they can be accessed from the Console menu. |
| What
version of Gen does the Solutions Console require? |
The
Solutions Console requires the Gen plug-in facility and will work
with AllFusion Gen 6.5 and above. |
| The
plug-ins do not work from the Gen menu |
Make
sure that you have started the toolset with the /Automation parameter,
i.e. toolset.exe /Automation for Gen 7 and coolgen.exe /Automation
for Gen 6.5 |
| The
console does not load when invoked from the Plug-in |
One
possible cause is that the Gen runtime file wru650n.dll is not correctly
registered. If you did not have the gen runtimes registered on your
workstation, the Console Setup program will have registered wru650n.dll
from the GenRtm directory. Either re-register your copy of the Gen
runtime or register the GenRtm\wru650n.dll using regsvr32.exe. |
