User Content Manager

(creating parametric 2D/3D-user-defined libraries, associated with tables)

User content manager is designed for part and fragment content creation and updating, also for use of these libraries with KOMPAS-3D. Users can set values to variables from MS Excel file associated with the content, during inserting the content into active KOMPAS-document. Users can independently compound the library by creating and associating to each other parts, fragments and characteristic tables. Several parts or templates from libraries can be associated with one MS Excel file. Content manager requires MS Excel version 2000 or higher.

KOMPAS-Master Software Development Kit

(API for any development environment in Windows)

There is an ability to create additional program modules (user’s libraries) and use them working with documents in KOMPAS-3D V9 due to the fact that KOMPAS-3D V9 is an open system. Thus, standard facilities of 3D-modeller and drawing editor can be amplified regarding to user’s special problems. Typical application example is machine-building-standardized-parts library. Kompas-Master, application development tools, is a number of Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL), which can be used from any Windows-compatible programming system based on Ñ/Ñ++, Delphi, Visual Basic. Libraries include more than 500 of special functions and interfaces for the kernel of the KOMPAS. The functions provide document creating and processing, 3D/graphical object creating and editing, interfacing between DLL and main system. Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface can be used for accessing to various databases.
