Using Direct CAD Interfaces

Direct CAD Interfaces (DCI) allow you to connect directly to your CAD software. As the CAD file is updated in your CAD software, the corresponding change are reflected in Inspection Planner. See the "Direct CAD Interface" help file for detailed information. Inspection Planner supports the use of the following DCIs:

• CATIA

• CATIA 5

• I-DEAS

• Pro/Engineer

• SolidWorks

• Unigraphics

Note: The following Inspection Planner options must enabled on your portlock to use them: CATIA V4 DCI, CATIA V5 DCI, UG DCI, PRO-E DCI, Solidworks DCI and I-DEAS DCI.
