6.1. Distributed Code

In V12 3Dfindit Enterprise we have to use code at different locations as it is a distributed solution: AppServer, 3Dfindit UI and CADconnector.

3Dfindit

Add buttons with additional functionality to the UI. This must be developed with JavaScript as it runs inside the browser. The functions have full access to the table to e.g. open another web page with the part number as argument. It is not possible to access local data directly inside the browser, but you can call VBS functions from AppServer or CADconnector.

AppServer

Scripts are used to access data from the server. These scripts can be called from the 3Dfindit UI.

CADconnector

When using a CAD system the CADconnector is a local EXE which is the connection between 3Dfindit UI and the CAD interface. The 3Dfindit UI can call VB Scripts in the CADconnector to retrieve local data.
