The Python Section of a Dimension Table

General

  • Vertex G4 checks if a Python program is installed on the computer when a dimension table is opened.
  • If Python is installed on the computer, Vertex G4 must be restarted after that.
  • A Python program section with functions and a check box appears in the dimension table
    • Create (If there is no Python program associated with the model).
    • Edit (If the model is associated with a Python program).
    • Remove (If the model is associated with a Python program).
    • Execute (If the model is associated with a Python program).
    • Execute automatically.

  • But these functionalities can be limited, depending on whether the Python program is installed, whether there is a Python program alongside the model, and in which situation the dimension table is opened.

Different combinations of situations

Python is not installed on the computer, and the model has no program.

There is no Python program section in the dimension table
  • In a part model.
  • In an assembly model.
  • When a part or subassembly is to be modified from an assembly.
  • In the browser.

Python is installed on the computer and the model has a program.

The dimension table has a section Python program with selectable buttons.
  • In a part model.
