About CFM
CFM – CAD File Manager (CFM) utility is a client-based application developed by CADOpt that provides a common data link between a BricsCAD and a Windchill server. The core capability of the CAD File Manager (CFM) utility is that it allows you to manage your CAD data within the BricsCAD environment. When the BricsCAD is connected to the CAD File Manager (CFM) utility, several PDM commands, such as Check-In and Check-Out, are embedded within BricsCAD to enable you to interact with Windchill from the CAD environment.
CFM Utility is developed as a Standalone VB.net application & it does not require support of BricsCAD VBA & BricsCAD.NET extensions.
CFM utility functions seamlessly with the Basic license of BricsCAD Standard version & BricsCAD Professional versions too.
