>From my understanding there is coded information attached to each drawing that is in a format that is readable to other languages. This information has the characters or elements of that drawing. I believe the drawing is in .DXF format. Your designers using AutoCAD should be able to explain it. I know CADDY reads that info, formats it into BOM format, interfaces with System21 and creates structures. I believe the items had to be created in the item master beforehand. One caveat is that CADDY is at AutoCAD 14 product level. It has been five years since we played with this product.

How would it be ported to the 400?

I know people who interface CAD based systems with other AS/400 ERPs, so it's possible. Thanks for the info. >>> mis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 08/18/03 07:44AM >>> Peter, We actually have the code for that groovy little product. It was called Caddy. It is written in 'C' but we never implemented it. Long story. It was quite good with AutoCAD. It was such a new concept for our Engineering Department, that they weren't comfortable with it. One of life's missed opportunities. It was saved to tape and is in 3.5.1 release level. Just wanted you to know.

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. _______________________________________________ This is the System 21 Users (SYSTEM21) mailing list To post a message email: SYSTEM21@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/system21 or email: SYSTEM21-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/system21. _______________________________________________ This is the System 21 Users (SYSTEM21) mailing list To post a message email: SYSTEM21@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/system21 or email: SYSTEM21-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/system21. _______________________________________________ This is the System 21 Users (SYSTEM21) mailing list To post a message email: SYSTEM21@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/system21 or email: SYSTEM21-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/system21. === [ KI (USA) Corporation - http://www.kiusa.com ] ====================================== Tel. 859.986.1420 -- Fax. 859.986.1485 This e-mail, including any attachments, contains information from KI (USA) Corporation that may be confidential or privileged.
