Direct integration mode

The mode that aPriori Professional is operating in is a determinant for whether aPriori automatically monitors a CAD file for geometry changes and applies any detected changes to an open associated scenario for which costing has been initiated. Direct integration mode is one of the modes that aPriori Professional can operate in.

In direct integration mode, aPriori can retrieve component geometry directly from a Creo^® CAD application and constantly monitors its status. However, direct integration mode supports automatic geometry updates for Active scenarios, but not for Inactive sceanrios.Therefore, if you intiate a costing or any other action that requires the regeneration of Geometric Cost Drivers (GCDs) in direct integration mode, the geometry for the scenario updates automatically unless the scenario is Inactive.

For more information, see Active and Inactive scenarios.

Direct Integration mode is applicable only aPriori On-Premise Deployments.
