RE: [SYSTEM21] Configurator

["Jansson, Stefan" <stefan.jansson@xxxxxxxxx>]

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, while still employed at JBA in 
Chicago we wrote a little gadget that would take data from an AutoCAD drawing 
and at the press of a PC button would download it into the AS/400 and create a 
System/21 BOM for the part you're working on.  It even created part numbers for 
you if they weren't there.  It was pretty slick, but nobody showed much 
interest.  I'm sure that code is long gone by now, but at least it shows that 
it can be done.  By the way, the people who wrote it are still alive, and in 
the business.

It's not magic, just really groovy code.

Is anyone using, or has tried using engineering based software (Inventor
or other CAD type systems) to actually interface with System 21?  I'm
looking for some magical software to assist with the creation of Parts,
BOMS, and routes.  A recent demo of Inventor looked promising for
generating part numbers and possibly BOMS.
