SolidEdge-VarHandler

Inspired by a post on Siemens Community I decided to create this control center to easily evaluate variables range values

The actual version is limited and will perhaps be expanded per user requests

Feature list:

• Reload button
• Add any system or user variables and dimensions
• Export results to excel when play a variable
• Point tracker, return the coordinate of a 3D coordinate system or a 2D block
  • Trace button, it creates a spline curve when playing a variable
  • Closed curve, the spline will be a closed curve
  • Settings button for shown decimals
  • Remove button
• Exposed name retrieved from the variable table (if available)
• Ability to vary Exposed name from the variable table (double click on the title to prompt)
• Minimum and Maximum range retrieved from the variable table (if available)
• Ability to vary Minimum and Maximum range from the user interface (click on values to prompt)
• Loop button, the trackbar will move from one end to the other and reverse continuously
• Play button, the trackbar will move to the end
• Settings button to select the number of steps to perform on play
• Checkbox to auto-retrieve the variable on reload (Autotune on comments field)
• Remove button
• Taskbar to easily change values
• Manuale vary the value (click on value to prompt)
• ReadOnly variables supported
• Works on any Solid Edge environment (par, psm, asm, dft)
