Description: |
Pro/ENGINEER API Toolkit allows customers to extend, automate, and customize a wide range of Pro/ENGINEER design-through-manufacturing functionality. In addition, customers can further leverage the product model information residing within their Pro/INTRALINK environment through complete access to the information contained within it.
Pro/ENGINEER API Toolkit consists of a library of functions, often referred to as an application-programming interface (API), written in the C programming language. These functions are typically used by MIS organizations to create applications that run in parallel with Pro/ENGINEER and to integrate product information with the customer’s corporate MRP/ERP systems. The toolkit applications are also used extensively by companies participating in PTC’s Cooperative Software Partner (CSP) program to interface their commercial information management products with Pro/INTRALINK.
The extensive Pro/ENGINEER API Toolkit provides programmatic access for creating, interrogating, and manipulating almost every aspect of the engineering model and its data management. This means, for instance, that costly errors can be eliminated with the help of a toolkit application that automates the creation of complex features. Automating the production of Pro/ENGINEER deliverables, such as BOMs, drawings, and manufacturing operations can reduce cycle time. And product quality can be improved with a custom Pro/ENGINEER API Toolkit application that performs design rule verification based on inputs from an external, knowledge-based system.
Optimization of Design Through Manufacturing Processes
Pro/ENGINEER users with C programming experience write toolkit applications that capture design knowledge and best practices and automate repetitive or error-prone tasks. MIS organizations use the Pro/ENGINEER API Toolkit to ensure compliance with company standards and integrate expert systems and knowledge-based applications into the Pro/ENGINEER environment. Companies participating in PTC’s CSP create added-value extensions to Pro/ENGINEER and integrate commercial applications with the Pro/ENGINEER suite of modules using toolkit applications.
