Hi Thomas, The only benefit for the end user is the friendly vba environnement and the lack of learning a new language. My users know vba well and already use Ms Excel to drive SolidEdge using COM. They use Excel to compute values and display some GUI interfaces (using vba) and finally drive SolidEdge. But since the SolidEdge license is not cheap, I'm searching for alternative.
One is ask them to learn python and pythonOCC and another is to provide a COM server and only learn pythonOCC. But since my first post, I changed my mind because I'm also trying to move all my MS Office license to OpenOffice (LibreOffice in fact) so a COM server is not a good choice.
