Hello new users to cascade, as you have seen it, this not an easy to use environment because explanations are not always given and errors exist in the samples that we have to use. For example when you set DRAWDEFAULT=%DRAWHOME%\\DrawDefault This an all faulty set, because you must not have single "\" when showing a pth. You must a double "\\", which means DO NOT DEFINE DRAWHOME as c:\cascade\draw instead use c:\\cascade\\draw Hope this can help Thanks for reading me

I'm finding it frustrating trying to launch the demo.bat file owing to the errors others have mentioned ( '\', '/', '\\', etc.). If someone could fix it or post it here that would be great.

Also, when I 'think' I've almost got it launched the Draw window comes up with an error message: "MDI: Load Accel failure" Am I missing a resource file for accelerator definitions or what? I understand that this program was developed in French - perhaps they have assumed that US Windows NT installations work the same way?

I'm using the binaries (I.e. not compiled by me)

Thanks,

Jen

You will not need the "demo.bat" file if all the environmental variables are set as described in this page.

http://www.opencascade.org/needhelp/faqenvvar.html

After these have been set, simply run the executable.

I hope this helps you on your first point. I also get the same error message when starting the demo. An answer to the problem would be appreciated.

I have found that the MFC examples are a very good demonstration and are worth the download time.

as previously said in this forum, this message can be ignored without any problem...

Hope this help Etienne
