Installation

To install sofistik-tools search for sofistik-tools in the Install pane of the Pulsar settings or run ppm install sofistik-tools. Alternatively, you can run ppm install asiloisad/pulsar-sofistik-tools to install a package directly from the GitHub repository.

This package requires language-sofistik.

Configuration

Setting Description
SOFiSTiK installation path Path to the SOFiSTiK installation folder (default: C:\Program Files\SOFiSTiK)
Enable keystroke hints Show info message with keystroke hints in selection lists

Version resolution

The package determines which SOFiSTiK version to use in the following priority order:

  1. Shebang in file: @ SOFiSTiK 2026 or @ SOFiSTiK 2024-05 comment in the file (searched backwards from cursor)
  2. Project configuration: sofistik.def file in the same directory with SOF_VERSION = 2026
  3. Package setting: Version configured in language-sofistik settings

Features

Help system

The help view opens PDF manuals directly in Pulsar using pdf-viewer. When cursor is on a command, it jumps to that command's documentation.

File handlers

The package registers handlers for SOFiSTiK file types. Double-clicking these files in tree-view opens them in the appropriate application:

Extension Application
.cdb Animator
.plb Report Viewer
.gra WinGRAF
.results Result Viewer
.sofistik SSD
.dwg SOFiPLUS (if sofistik.def exists)

Child files

Use @ child:filename.dat directive to run multiple files in sequence. Use @ only-children to skip the parent file itself.
