You will see some utilities listed including the SmartScript library
|
|
which
|
|
you can view from the MB3 popup over the window. You can add Python
|
|
modules
|
|
here which might contain methods you wish to share among the Smart
|
|
Tools
|
|
and Procedures you've created.</li>

|
|
Utility to Share Among
|
|
Smart Tools and Procedures</h3>
|
|
<div class="Body">Suppose that you would like to create your own
|
|
library
|
|
methods to share among your smart tools and procedures. In this
|
|
exercise,
|
|
we will create a Utility that can be imported and accessed from any
|
|
Smart
|
|
Tool or Procedure.
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>In Localization perspective under the GFE section,
|
|
on the Utility folder, select MB3-->New.</li>
|
|
<li>Name your Utility and select OK.</li>
|
|
<li>A Python window will appear. Enter some utility method
|
|
within the
|
|
utility class. For example, you could simply copy the
|
|
"convertFtToM"
|
|
method from the SmartScript module. To follow the naming
|
|
conventions, precede the name of your method with an
|
|
underscore.
|
|
For example, _convertFtToM.</li>
|
|
<li>Now, modify your Smart Tool from the previous Exercise to call
|
|
this method.
|
|
To do this, you must do several things:</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>First, at the beginning of your Smart Tool, insert the
|
|
statement:</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
import MyUtility
|
|
<p> where
|
|
"MyUtility"
|
|
is the name of your Utility.<br></p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Create an instance of your Utility as follows:</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<p> class Tool (SmartScript.SmartScript): <br>
|
|
def __init__(self, dbss): <br>
|
|
|
|
self._dbss = dbss <br>
|
|
|
|
SmartScript.SmartScript.__init__(self, dbss) </p>
|
|
<p> def preProcessTool(self): <br>
|
|
|
|
self._myUtility = MyUtility.MyUtility(self._dbss, self.eaMgr()) <br>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<li>Next, call your method as follows:</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
T_F
|
|
= self._myUtility._convertFtToM(T_K) <br>
|
|
<li>Run and test your tool to make sure it works.</li>
|
|
</ol>
