Pro/TOOLKIT Customization API

Open by design

With Pro/ENGINEER, PTC has long embraced openness as a fundamental tenet of a CAD solution. Thus, the vast Pro/ENGINEER Toolkit API is offered in alignment with this philosophy. With a library of over 3,000 C/C++ routines, companies are able to create highly-specific user interfaces and design custom applications, and even schedule tasks within Pro/ENGINEER.

Custom solution

Sometimes, specific product development processes demand tailored solutions. With the Pro/ENGINEER Toolkit API, companies can extend, automate, and customize a wide range of functionality from design through manufacturing. Automating the production of deliverables, such as BOMs, drawings, and manufacturing operations can reduce cycle time and errors. And, via integration with knowledge-based systems, product quality can be greatly improved.

Capabilities & Benefits:

• Customize and extend the Pro/ENGINEER user interface with seamlessly embedded custom processes
• Integrate expert systems and knowledge-based applications into the Pro/ENGINEER environment
• Create automated, single-use, or derived designs by external manipulation of geometric and parametric constraints
• Access peer-to-peer communications for better application diagnosis
• Improve product quality with design rule verification based on inputs from external solutions
