I'm working on further development of MDT 5. Some of our team member on Autocad, some on Solidesigner.
I'm using VC++. I have not researched the development of UG, just browsing some reference. But, I'm using UG.
What I think is that you'd better using VC++ to development if you want to develop UG. Java would better if possible. It will make your infterface more attractive.
Actually, the first step in development, I think, is not the method you will use, but what the users want.You must know what your customer wants. And, then, you can select one easiest, lowest cost, fastest tool to realize what you will do. In industry,the custumer doesn't care more the tools you use, but your result, including time-consuming, correction, and difficulty.
We're developing MDT 5. MDT 5 is not the CAD platform. But its API is the most open in all the CAD platform.It can provide you all kinds of info, inculing data-structure, interface, data managenment. This is most important for you and your customer. On the basis of them, you can further discuss or design your KB.Our customer is the second-largest computer connector maunfacturer in the world. I think their choice should show something.
So, know what the customer wnat, use the easiest, lowest cost, fastest ways to realize what you want. This makes you step into market. |
