Introduction
On this site you will find many basic CAD plugin workspaces to help you with your CAD development tasks.
I currently target the following CAD systems
- SolidWorks (2007 and up)
- Pro/Engineer (Wildfire 3.0 and up)
ASSUMPTIONS. READ CAREFULLY.
- You are a software developer. I only provide source code, not a runnable executable.
- You have access to MS Visual Studio (I developed these projects in VS 2005 Standard, but they will probably work in future editions too)
- You have access to the target CAD system. My plugins are not standalone applications. They are written to be loadable in the target CAD system.
- You have a license to the target CAD system. I personally do not pay for a license and hence cannot unlock or distribute anything more than source code (NOTE: I am not a lawyer, if you think it is not legal for me to post even source code, please contact me and I will take the necessary steps)
- If you are running Pro/E, you also need to have a Pro/Toolkit license. Otherwise you will receive "Application not unlocked" error when trying to load the plugin into Pro/Engineer. Please follow directions at http://ossandcad.blogspot.com/2009/05/unlocking-protk-applications-blog.html regarding this error or read UnlockingProTkPlugin.
What to Download?
I have committed the entire source code. You can download and keep up-to date with the latest commits using an SVN client by checking out from the Source.
Alternatively in the Downloads section I have uploaded dated ZIP files that contain a snapshot of the same source as of that date. If you do not have access to an SVN client, then this option would work better for you.
