In recent years, the corporate intranet has become the powerhouse of the 
perless office, providing company-wide access to business information
from any desktop platform. Kyocera Wireless Corporation embraced the business
intranet: everything was on the web except, until recently, CAD library
data. Anyone who required access to this data had to be trained to use the
CAD tools, which was inefficient both in terms of time and license
availability. A way had to be found to get library data onto the Intranet in
a simple, low maintenance manner.
In 1996 Mentor Graphics AE Manager Mike Walsh presented a paper at MUG that
illustrated userware that he had written to create a web-based electronic
data book for LMS.
KWC installed this userware and applied it to their LMS installation,
customizing and extending the functionality to suit their process and
requirements.
This paper will detail the capabilities of the available freeware and will
discuss the extensions and functional changes made by KWC to integrate and
automate the process in their environment.
