Open Design Alliance Offers DRX SDK for DWGdirect
free for download
 PHOENIX,
AZ, Jan 9, 2008 The Open Design Alliance (ODA) announces its DRX Software
Development Kit (SDK) available at no cost for public download from
www.opendesign.com/guestfiles.
The DRX SDK is a new development platform that allows end-users to create
extensions for DWGdirect-based applications.
In order to take advantage of this new functionality, end-users of
DRX-compatible host products available from ODA members can download the
DRX SDK and use it to create their own custom DRX extension modules. The DRX
SDK already operates with DRX-compatible applications currently available
from ODA members.
The SDK utilizes an object-oriented C++ interface and provides a wide
range of capabilities, allowing end-users to create custom entities and
custom commands. For example, the ODA uses this technology internally to
implement walls, roofs, stairs, and more within its ADTdirect architectural
package. These custom entities can be rendered and manipulated within any
DRX-compatible host application.
When asked about this latest product release, Neil Peterson, Chief
Technical Officer of the ODA, stated, The release of the DRX SDK is a major
milestone for the ODA. CAD end-users frequently need to create new entity
types to represent domain-specific data, and the DRX SDK provides the tools
needed to accomplish this task. In addition, unlike similar packages offered
by other companies, DRX extension modules are usable within every
DRX-compatible host application available from ODA members."
ODA investment in the development of the new DRX SDK further promotes its
long-standing commitment to the open exchange of CAD data, along with its
continued commitment to delivering the best service and value to its members
and the CAD community.
