Abstract
An exemplary embodiment is a system providing CAD engine independence for a coordinate measurement system. The system includes an interface between a coordinate measurement system application and a CAD engine application. The interface is specific to the CAD engine application and allows a single coordinate measurement system application to be interfaced to one or more CAD engines without the dependency of hard coding to a particular CAD engine.
Claims18
A system for interfacing with multiple computer aided design engines a coordinate measurement system executing a coordinate measurement system application, said coordinate measurement system generating a coordinate measurement system command;
- a first intermediary application receiving said coordinate measurement system command and translating said coordinate measurement system command into a first computer aided design command, said intermediary application providing said first computer aided design command to a first computer aided design application.
A method for interfacing with multiple computer aided design engines, the method comprising:
- executing a coordinate measurement system application, said coordinate measurement system generating a coordinate measurement system command;
- translating said coordinate measurement system command into a first computer aided design command;
- providing said first computer aided design command to a first computer aided design application;
- and
- receiving a response from the computer aided design application.
