Hero.net - external command

[António Gualdino]

Goog afternoon,


I'm new to hero.net software, so maybe my question is a bit stupid,

The issue is that i'm trying to export the data from a PC-Dmis part program to Hero.net but my external command seems to have a problem, because i don't find the part in Hero.net.


EXTERNALCOMMAND/NO_DISPLAY, NO_WAIT ; C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\HEXMET\PCDMISEXTRACTOR\PCDMISEXTRACTOR.EXE VRD:[MKE_DBASE_1]:G:\CLIENTS\CMM_PROGRAMS\TP20\BUNDLE\F92435050\CLA MP_BLOCK - (P00043861-0000)


CLAMP_BLOCK - (P00043861-0000) - this is the pc-dmis part program name
F92435050 - is the folder where the program is.


Do you need me to explain better? What am i doing wrong?


Thanks in advance.

What is hero.net, never heard of it and google gives no clues

One of the French Apps guys wrote it, it's a database of measurements so you can keep a history of everything, does stats too. Can't remember his name. I think Hexagon adopted the software but didn't actively sell it. I had some training on it a long time ago.

[António Gualdino]

its a statistical software from Hexagon.

You might need to put the command inside quotes for it to work.

EXTERNALCOMMAND/NO_DISPLAY, NO_WAIT ; "C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\HEXMET\PCDMISEXTRACTOR\PCDMISEXTRACTOR.EXE VRD:[MKE_DBASE_1]:G:\CLIENTS\CMM_PROGRAMS\TP20\BUNDLE\F92435050\CLA MP_BLOCK - (P00043861-0000)"

Doesn't Hexagon have tech support for all their products?

[Kp61dude!]

Easy Ego Murphy Hexagon does their best you know! ....bahaha sorry I couldn't hold it in.

[António Gualdino]

Thanks guy's that really helped!


If i could have that support i would have it. But the contract is not done with my factory it's with a factory of the group. And the comunications between us and them and then hexagon are not as fast as i needed to be. So i thought maybe the forum could help! And then they did...and they did it brightly

You can always count on us for "bright" and "colorful" help.

Glad you were helped.

What did you do to solve your problem?

[António Gualdino]

Nothing yet! I was being sarcastic with the other collegues.


Can you help?

[vpt.se]

Putting the command inside quotes didn't help at all?

i'm using something like this

EXTERNALCOMMAND/NO_DISPLAY, NO_WAIT ; C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\HEXMET\PCDMISEXTRACTOR\PCDMISEXTRACTOR.EXE

C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\HEXMET\PCDMISEXTRACTOR\PCDMISEXTRACTOR.EXE is the location of hero.net extractor, not pcdmis part program

[maestro_21]

put the code at the beginning of the pc dmis part program

Hi there,


I'm sorry for the delay in my answer.


Finally i understood what was wrong.


My external command was almost all okay, but i had the name of the part program at the end and pc-dmis couldn't read it so i delete the part program name and leaved only the folder name.


ex: EXTERNALCOMMAND/NO_DISPLAY, NO_WAIT ; C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\HEXMET\PCDMISEXTRACTOR\PCDMISEXTRACTOR.EXE VRD:[MKE_DBASE_1]:G:\CLIENTS\CMM_PROGRAMS\TP20\BUNDLE A330\G54910306_000


So there's no need for quotation marks.


Thank you all for your efforts.
