2 AGENDA Introduction to developing Solid Edge applications Solid Edge Automation The Art of the Possible Solid Edge Apps Demos Questions

3 INTRODUCTION TO SOLID EDGE PROGRAMMING We will provide a VERY brief introduction to adding value to Solid Edge via the API (Application Programming Interface), built into Solid Edge. Exploit the potential of the Solid Edge API to achieve massive productivity gains, by tailoring Solid Edge to suit your particular company requirements.

8 THE SOLID EDGE API The Solid Edge core COM type libraries are the APIs that are available to automate the Solid Edge application These APIs can be used by any programming or scripting language that supports COM

9 THE SOLID EDGE API These lightweight APIs allow you to work quickly with Solid Edge data without automating Solid Edge. Each is focused for a specific area of tasks. Install Data File Properties Revision Manager
