Datakit, a specialist in 3D interoperability, announces the new version (2022.1) of its technical data conversion SDK.
Since 1994 Datakit has facilitated the exchange of 2D and 3D data for users and developers of CAD, CAD/CAM, 3D visualization, simulation, metrology, and modeling applications. The latest version of CrossManager (Datakit software for file-to-file conversion of most 3D and 2D formats) and CrossCadWare (reading and writing libs for 2D and 3D software editors) improve the interoperability between different standard and native formats.
Datakit conversion libraries V2022.1 bring new reading functionalities for Inventor, OBJ, REVIT 3D. They also add CATIA V5 writing functionalities.
Software editors integrating release 2022.1 of Datakit SDK will now be able to:
- Read the predefined views, as well as the FDT (PMI) from the INVENTOR 3D assembly files
- Read the alpha channel of colors (transparency) from OBJ 3D and RHINO 3D.
- Write in CATIA V5 the Views named by the users
Datakit is constantly upgrading its SDK to remain compatible with the latest versions from publishers, and their previous versions.
Datakit V2022.1 adds new versions and now makes it possible to:
- Read JT files up to version 10.7
- Read older REVIT versions (2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014) in complement with REVIT 2015 to 2022 versions.
- Extract data from Solid Edge 2022, the latest version of Solid Edge.
- Read the 2022 SP0 version of Solid Works, and its ancestors from 2006 to 2008.
- Read NX 1992, 1996, and 2000, the last versions of NX.
How to test Datakit file-to-file software
End-users of 2D and 3D applications can download the software and obtain a demo license on the official pages of CrossManager and CrossCad/Plg.
