## Why Direct CAD Interfaces?

Quickly and accurately measuring your part programs requires the best tools. PC-DMIS™ offers a powerful tool unmatched by other geometric measurement packages.

- Enjoy the flexibility of using PC-DMIS in conjunction with CAD systems (these include Unigraphics, CATIA, Pro/ENGINEER, I-DEAS and ACIS.

- Avoid the possibility of errors and limitations associated with translation of data from CAD systems into PC-DMIS' internal CAD format.

- Work with PC-DMIS using CAD data native to various CAD systems.

- Calculate information inside PC-DMIS using mathematical routines native to other CAD systems.

- Display, and interact with a CAD system's native geometry, all the while never leaving PC-DMIS.
