D-Cubed 2D DCM Integration Wrapper Available from Siemens PLM Software

By DE Editors

An integration wrapper between the D-Cubed software 2D DCM (Dimensional Constraint Manager) component and Teigha for .dwg files is now available from Siemens PLM Software. The wrapper enables users of the Open Design Alliance (ODA) Teigha development platform to introduce the 2D DCM into their products more rapidly.

The 2D DCM solves geometric constraints and driving dimensions to provide the parametric sketching capability in many CAD systems, including AutoCAD software from Autodesk, as well as Siemens PLM Software’s own NX software and Solid Edge software. Teigha for .dwg files offers ODA members a development framework for CAD and technical graphics applications that need to support the Autodesk DWG file format.

“ODA members that choose to license the 2D DCM can deliver constraint solving capabilities combined with DWG file format compatibility to their end-users through their custom applications,” says Arnold van der Weide, president of the Open Design Alliance. “Several ODA members are already using 2D DCM in parallel, and I am convinced that direct integrations with applications based on Teigha for .dwg will benefit from the accelerated development that this wrapper delivers.”
