The Application Programming Interface (API) module includes a programming library that allow developers to create custom programs that run with Smart Review. The API module is not a requirement to run the custom programs, only to create custom programs for Smart Review.
Key Features:
API Library
Provides an ActiveX control interface, DRAPIX, that can be linked into your application programs to control Smart Review functions. These functions give your applications direct control over the working of Smart Review instead of just sending commands that you enter. This gives your application more control and flexibility. Any programming language that can use the Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) can use this API, such as C++, C#, Visual Basic.NET, and so forth.
Main View to VUE File
Exports all the graphics currently shown in the Main view to a new .vue file. Smart Review creates separate .mdb and .mdb2 files for the generated .vue file. These databases contain only the information about the graphics present in the exported .vue file. This enables you to quickly create a .vue file of a model showing specific graphics. This command is not active if you have a .zvf or .svf project file open.
Export Project
Creates a .vue file. This does not include the ability to create .vue files in a batch mode.
Export As ZVF
Exports to a .zvf file format. When the model is opened from a connected network source, you can export the .zvf file to a local or remote folder location. Smart Review saves the connection information so that the next time you open the .zvf file, Smart Review attempts to reconnect to that data source.
Settings > Sources
Lists and manages server connections. Smart Review allows you to create a connection to a SmartPlant Foundation, SDx Operations or Smart 3D server through a third party token service application to access live data.
Snapshot
Creates an image file of the Main view, application window, or entire screen. Snapshot can be used to create a high quality anti-aliased image of any resolution. This module includes support for standard output types like .bmp and .jpg.
