CCE Adds Key Features to Its CATIA V5 and NX ODX Libraries

“CCE’s latest release of the ODX toolkit provides our ISV customers the ability to seamlessly embed their solutions in their customer’s multi-CAD work flow,” said Vinay Wagle, CCE’s VP of Sales & Marketing. “This is facilitated by ODX’s support for Persistent ID for all major CAD systems,” added Vinay.

CCE’s CATIA V5 and NX ODX libraries underwent significant improvements, in both functionality and performance, in the most recent release. Among the key updates is enhanced support for Persistent IDs, thereby allowing ISVs greater control over their associative interface workflows. A significant amount of leading CAD ISV’s use persistence information, provided by CCE’s ODX libraries, to create associative interfaces, including Autodesk with its AnyCAD technology. CCE has also extended its support for reading material information, stored in CATIA V5, by directly accessing native .CATMaterial file type. In addition, CCE has kept pace with advancements towards creating a Model Based Enterprise (MBE) by giving ISVs the opportunity to create rich, annotated, 3D data by enhancing its NX libraries to now write additional PMI information, such as labels and notes; it already has the ability to read and write other PMI data.
