Abstract :
The tool interface which provides mechanisms for tools to implement their data handling facilities on the basis of a common data schema is a key element of a CAD framework. A tool interface which has been developed and implemented in the DASSY project is described. It decouples the CAD tools from the underlying database, and the chosen architecture with an integrated main memory database allows the adaptation of the tool interface to different databases
