GTWorks Eagle Macro LanguageDESCRIPTIONWith Eagle macros, users of GrayTech's mechanical design and manufacturing software can design graphics programs to meet the specific needs of a particular application. Eagle is a high-level graphics programming language for GTWorks. It combines Pascal-like syntax and constructs with convenient graphics instructions for accessing functions GTWorks. Eagle provides flexible techniques to accommodate various engineering design, analysis, and documentation requirements. CAPABILITIESEagle programs are stored as ASCII text files in the system computer, so the full editing capability of the operating system can be used. Programs can be created and debugged on any 486 or higher computer, thus freeing the main CAD stations from programming tasks. And debugging is easy because of the diagnostic capability of the Eagle compiler. The compiler provides descriptive error and warning messages along with their respective source locations. Eagle programs can be made interactive so that user-defined menus can prompt for user input during the execution of programs. In addition to the arithmetic operations, subprogram usage, and IF-THEN-ELSE decision capability of the Eagle language, users have full access to GTWorks functions. Eagle programs can access and execute the geometric construction, display management, drafting, and analysis functions of GTWorks. These function include the ability to retrieve existing graphics files and process related information. For example, bills of material can be extracted or finite element models and numerical control tool paths can be created. With these capabilities, Eagle provides total versatility for custom applications programming.
