Are you a former Cimlinc customer?
The closing of CIMLINC Inc. in 2000 has left former CIMLINC customers with great concerns
about maintaining their CIMLINC application software and data files. Are you a user of Linkage? Geometry Editor?
CIMCAD or CIMCAM? Did you know that the node-locked license scheme used by CIMLINC applications
means that when the UNIX workstation you depend on eventually dies, your software licenses
die with it? In short, that system and application software is gone. Because of that, your data files,
your intellectual property can't be accessed. Forever. Just keeping
the old hardware running can be an expensive and aggravating proposition. Replacing your
CIMLINC software means incurring lost productivity while you retrain. In fact, you may never
become as productive as you were with your old CIMLINC software.
Cimlinc Legacy Software and Service Solutions
Because our historical roots go all the way back to Cimlinc, we have software solutions and software services
that can be of assistance to your team to solve your legacy data problems.
InfoManager
Derived from the same base code as Cimlinc Linkage, InfoManager assembles forms from embedded intelligent formulas and
macros to extract and format external text and graphic data files. The same powerful ScriptLINK programming language
is at the heart of InfoManager and ExpertCAD. This means that the applications you have that were built with
Linkage may run with minimal or no changes whatsoever. Document data files generated by Linkage are 100% compatible
with InfoManager. Design and manufacturing cannot function without correct documentation. That’s why InfoManager
has long been a part of our AMT suite of products. Simple to use yet powerful, InfoManager removes the
drudgery of mundane everyday tasks such as creating setup sheets, building parts list or completing ECNs.
InfoManager is available only for Sun/Oracle SPARC-based workstations running the Solaris operating system. If you are currently using Linkage Developer Edition,
Integrator Edition or User Edition then InfoManager may very well be the perfect replacement.
Cimlinc Linkage Document Conversion Service
Is your data being held hostage? Can't share your intellectual property with your customers and suppliers because it is in Cimlinc Linkage
proprietary format? We can help. Whether you have just a few documents or 100's or even 1000's of files, we can convert these from Cimlinc Linkage
document file format to Adobe PDF format.
Linkage License Transfers
Cimlinc licensing tied the software to the host ID of the computer for which it was licensed. If you need to transfer the Cimlinc license(s) you
have to another computer due to a hardware failure, we can issue you the same license authorizations for the new computer. You will need to send
us your current permissions file. Once we have this data file along with the new host ID, we can send you a new permissions file that authorizes
the new computer to run your Cimlinc software. We can only transfer licenses from one computer to another; we cannot issue you
additional licenses for
your Cimlinc software.
ExpertCAD
The CIMLINC Geometry Editor (LK4000) as well as CIM CAD are
ancestors of ExpertCAD. Because these CIMLINC applications were derived from the same source tree, data files are 100% compatible with ExpertCAD.
No translator is necessary! You custom macros and scripts that make you so productive are also 100% compatible.
Since parting ways with CIMLINC, our focus on CAD/CAM naturally led to the many enhancements to ExpertCAD.
In short, this ExpertCAD may be the perfect upgrade to your CIMLINC software. ExpertCAD is available
for Windows and Sun/Oracle SPARC-based workstations running the
Solaris operating system.
ExpertCAM
ExpertCAM is production oriented 2D
NC programming system that traces its heritage back to CIMLINC's CIM
CAM. Just like ExpertCAD and InfoManager, all your data files,
macros and customization as well as post processors are 100%
compatible with ExpertCAM. The investment you've made over the years
to automate and refine your N C programming doesn't need not go down
the drain. Migrating to ExpertCAM means you can continue to crank
out NC programs to keep your machine tools humming. ExpertCAM is
available for Windows and Sun/Oracle SPARC-based workstations
running the Solaris operating system.
