Introduction to API

The Script Client API that is part of erwin DM provides advanced customization capabilities that enable you to access and manipulate modeling data in memory at runtime, as well as models persisted in files and in a mart. The API interfaces are automation-compatible and provide extensive design and runtime facilities for third-party integrators as well as users of script-based environments.

The API complements the original modeling tool with custom components when you use scripts, add-ins, and COM-based API technologies. The API is flexible and promotes a seamless integration of the modeling tool in a client development cycle.
