CAD & Office Integration

OLE for Design and Modeling is an enhancement of Microsoft Windows for OLE for high performance CAD/CAM/CAE-software. This work explains how this new program enables users to introduce and manipulate CAD models within regular text-processing and DTP-documents. It shows readers how the program is able to transfer high-end 3D design objects between different systems using easy "drag and drop" operations. It also outlines how this "plug and play" CAD technology makes it possible to use older CAD documents and older software in an ebtierly new context.
