Hello NG,
is it possible to create a menu which is always been loaded when a user start solid works?
!there were no answers:!
I have to administrate 14 PC for students with solid works 2005. the students work under over 200 accounts with it. I can't work with solid works, I have only to install it on the pc.
Is it possible to create a configuration for the desktop with special menus for the students? They should get it, when they log on the server (w2k3).
Thanks for help Michael
IIRC what you want to look into is called an add in. If you deploy SW as an administrative image and create a .reg file with the appropriate setup you can do the following:
Have SW load with a custom menu via the addin. Have the addin menu item become invisible so that students cannot disable it.
I am assuming that you want a menu with some special school related functionality. To actually write the addin is something you will have to research. I think it can be done in VB and for sure in C++. You will find the documentation for this in the SW API help (you will have to run SW for this) and on the SW support website. I don't know how accessible this is for schools.
