I am contemplating the possibility of developing a proof of concept with C# / .NET.
Is the functionality exposed by the V5 Automation API strictly identical for C# and say CATScript? (In other words, is there anything one can achieve with a CATScript macro, that can't be achieved with a C# program?)
I understand that performance could suffer from using .NET instead of running a macro in-process, but this is not my immediate concern.
Thank you!
Hi.
APIs are identical - both CATScript and C# use Automation.
Perfomance will suffer as described here.
Thanks LC,
In case anyone is interested, Dassault Systèmes doesn't support out-of-process automation of V5 (with e.g. .NET) but confirmed that it works and that the exposed API should be identical.
Perfomance will suffer as described here.
Yes I had seen this interesting thread already. This is just a POC (i.e. throw-away code) and at this point performance is a secondary concern. If all goes well I will probably do some benchmarking to quantify the performance penalty though.
