So we decided to tackle the interface with the planet in code. Mainly because it is easier for us to control and more flexible than the link XML interface that SoftTech is using. We have finished the code and everything looks good in the software between V6 and the Emmegi software. The only thing left is an actual test on the machine. We’ve tackled the complication of rotated parts with compound miters. This is the toughest part of the interface, but I think it is complete. We’ll know this week.
SoftTech invited me back to Florida to spend a few days working on a new specification for our curtain wall work. There are a number of areas in the software that need to be improved to make the process of using it for unitized and stick curtain wall systems easier. I’ll report back on what we find.
If you have items you think I should address, please add them as comments on this page. Steve
