Title: MDG Tech for Python install
Post by: gakopp on August 19, 2005, 04:57:15 pm

I have EA Corporate v5.00.768.  I just installed the MDG Technology for Python distribution, and its DLL now lives on my hard drive.  But I have absolutely nothing showing under MDG Technologies in my project's resource view.  Wasn't the installation supposed to have registered it?  Actually, looking at my registry (XP SP2) I see it does seem to be correctly registered.  So why isn't it showing up in the resource view?

The MDG technology also needs to be added to each model that you want to use it with.

Go to the Add-Ins menu and select Python | Install MDG Technology for Python.  (Also select Python | Help) and read the Getting Started section.  It tells you this.

I gathered that from somewhere else.  However, I'm feeling very stupid, because I can't find an add-ins menu anywhere in my EA UI!  It's not like I'm a newbie to EA, so I'm really perplexed now.

Hello Gary,

If your Mainmenu has no Add-ins menu item
after installing the Python add-in, please try

(MainMenu)->Tools->Customize->Menu Tab->Reset button

Hope this helps.

Yes it does.  Thanks!  First time I've run into that after several years of EA usage.
