CAD integration with sap

[Former Member]

could any CAD integration experts give me some integration capability documents? i'm new to this area, just want to know the integration points between the cad and sap...for example: I've read some material, it saids that when the CAD design is near to complete, the material used in CAD will be transferred to SAPu2026

The question is: how the CAD material is integrated with SAP material master data? is this two different set of material master data? thanks in advance!

Hi,

It is not required to use interface only when the design is completed in CAD..these interfaces are bulit in such a way it will support complete CAD document life cycle ...

hi,

By using specific CAD integrator packages like Cideon for autocad, DSC Software for Unigraphics NX it is possible to directly create material, BOM and document record from cad packages into SAP.

These are not two separate material data but two ways of creating material in sap one thru sap and the other one thru CAD packages.
