Connect to Native CAD Models
PC-DMIS Direct CAD Interfaces (DCIs) lets you directly access native CAD models eliminating the need to translate CAD data. It uses the CAD system's native mathematical routines to display and manipulate the model, generate part programs, evaluate measurement results and generate inspection reports.
To interface with a CAD system, you will need a CAD seat license. Benefits include:
- An interface linking PC-DMIS directly to the CAD system.
- Accurate CAD data, free from the limitations of translators.
- Access to GD&T information (with CAD vendors that provide such support).
- Reduced programming time and improved quality.
Direct interfaces to the following CAD systems for PC-DMIS Versions 3.2 and above and PC-DMIS Planner are available:
- Unigraphics (V15 through NX 7.5)
- CATIA 4
- CATIA 5 (R8 through R20)
- Pro/ENGINEER (revision 20, 2000i 1999410, 2000i2, and Wildfire through Wildfire 5)
- I-DEAS (MS6A, MS7, V8 - V11)
- ACIS (through Version 7)
- SolidWorks (2001 through 2012)
