== Design Activity 
==

The ACTIVITY sample program explores the AP-203 design activity
information.  The program creates data to document design activity for
a coffee cup product.  We show four events in the life of the product.
First we request a new coffee cup design, then we release the initial
design.  Next we request a change to the cup and issue the change
order against it.

   1) Request new coffee cup design -- make_start_request()
   2) Release new coffee cup design -- make_start_order()

   3) Request a change to the cup design -- make_change_request()
   4) Issue the change to the cup design -- make_change_order()

The file "activity_out.stp" contains sample output from this program.

The program creates the data and saves it as a Part 21 file called
"output_file.stp".  STEP files are text, so you can look at them with
a text editor or right-click "Browse" them with the STEP Part 21 file
browser to see the contents.


BUILD INSTRUCTIONS

We provide Visual Studio project for the program, as well as separate
makefiles for UNIX and Windows.  On UNIX platforms, make sure that the
ROSE/ROSE_INCLUDE/ROSE_LIB environment variables are set as described
in the installation notes.

With the Visual Studio project, compile and run the program using the
normal build mechanism.  To use the makefiles, just run make/nmake as
shown below.

        % make 		# UNIX Machines
        > nmake		# Windows Machines

When building with nmake on Windows, you must run the vcvars32 batch
file (found in the Visual Studio bin directory) to make sure that the
C++ compiler is in the command line search path.
