Tim - can you be a little more descriptive? The Pro/E plugin is no longer working? Was it working before?

I finally had a chance to get back on this issue... It has been a while.  I found that the issue was related to some paths on my Vista setup.  I ended up migrating my office to Windows 7 this week and re-installed my apps.  It appears everything is fine.

Thanks

I also cannot open any Pro/E files.
I can only open STEP files but color assignments on part level is not maintained during STEP import.

I recently migrated to a 64 bit machine and now my plugin also does not work.
Please help me out if you can.

The content of my protk file is below:

NAME       KeyShot
EXEC_FILE  $KEYSHOT_PROE_WF4_64/KeyShot.dll
TEXT_DIR   $KEYSHOT_PROE_WF4_64/text
STARTUP    dll
REVISION   18
END


name eDrawings
startup DLL
delay_start FALSE
allow_stop  TRUE
exec_file $PRO_DIRECTORY\$PRO_MACHINE_TYPE\obj\proeconnector.dll
text_dir $PRO_DIRECTORY
end

Are you using the latest version of KeyShot?

Also, I am pretty sure that you have too many empty lines in the file. Delete one of them and it should be fine.

I am using v1.9.54 (64bit)
I removed the lines and it still does not work.
Thanks,
George

Hi George,

have you both plugins defined in just 1 protk.dat file?
If this is the case, try to use 2 separate *.dat files, I assume, the eDrawings entries overwrite the KeyShot entries, if using only 1 *.dat file.
