DocDokuPLM has a modularized architecture that makes it possible to extend the core feature set easily. For instance, the CAD files converters are provided as plugins.

The converter rely on a python interpreter. If your server is running on Linux or Mac OS, no need to worry you already have one installed on your system. For Windows just go [there] (http://www.python.org/download/).

Then, you have to indicate the path to the python command. For that, inside the docdoku-server-ejb.jar which is itself inside the docdoku-server-ear.ear file, edit the file com/docdoku/server/converters/obj/conf.properties:

pythonInterpreter=/usr/bin/python

For Linux and Mac, the value should be correct, for Windows you have to specify yours.
