IsoDraw can either be extended or adapted to individual requirements by means of the IsoDraw API.

The access to illustration data as well as to IsoDraw's functionality can be achieved through the C/C++ interface.

The IsoDraw API includes header definition files on a disk as well as all necessary instructions to develop software for the IsoDraw API.

Competitive advantages of the IsoDraw API
Existing or new software systems can be used within the IsoDraw environment. Especially with regard to the creation of intelligent illustrations as well as their authoring new potentials arise for the workflow of the illustration i.e. through the connection of IsoDraw to an existing database.

The increase of productivity through automation of processes is also an important advantage for the end user. With the API, IsoDraw can be integrated into the entire IT-infrastructure thus eliminating "functionality islands". The concept of the API was already introduced in 1997 with IsoDraw version 4, the solution for Technical Illustration by ITEDO Software.

Potential customers for the API
All companies that create intelligent illustrations for the usage in catalogs or maintenance manuals benefit from the use of the IsoDraw API. Industries using IsoDraw are the automotive, machinery and the aerospace industry, mail order companies as well as all other manufacturers who have to document and illustrate their products in manuals or catalogs. Further users are service providers or consultants who produce catalogs for their customers. Large companies benefit from a closer integration of IsoDraw into the existing IT-infrastructure.
