CAD & office integration

by Ulrich Sendler

In the realm of CAD & Office Integration a new technology has been introduced that will overturn many accepted ideas, both for developer and end-user. What is this revolutionary new technology? Called "OLE for Design and Modeling" it is an enhancement of Microsoft Windows OLE for high-performance CAD/CAM/CAE-software. With this book, the reader will understand how OLE for D&M enables users to introduce and manipulate CAD models within regular text-processing and desktop-publishing-documents. And why even high-end 3D design objects can now be transferred between different systems using easy "drag and drop" operations. Furthermore this "plug and play" CAD technology makes it possible to use older CAD documents and even older software in an entirely new context.
