Inventor Integration

Allows native integration with Rulestream’s Product Control Model (PCM).

It does not require intermediate format changes (e.g. XML).

The integration is a library (.dll) that uses the Inventor API to communicate with one of its active sessions.

The library is loaded at runtime into the Rulestream Custom.vb.

The Custom.vb contains the functions necessary to analyze the PCM and its properties. Whenever a property with a specific prefix is found (CAD_TemplateName, CAD_Constraint, CAD_Parameter) dedicated methods are called by the library to control the active Inventor session.
