== Build Sample Part With Properties 
==

The PROPERTY sample program demonstrates how to attach properties to a
product. This program builds all of the STEP backbone entities that go
into creating a product and two sample properties.   We create a string
descriptive propery and one that has a length measure.

 "property_out.stp" contains the sample output from this program.

This program creates the data set and saves it as a STEP Part 21
file called "output_file.stp".  This is a text file, so you can
look at it with a text editor or the STEP Part 21 file browser to
see how the information is represented.



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.
