Datakit, specialist in data transfer between CAD systems, announces that version 2020.2 of its software is now available. The latest update of Datakit’s 2D and 3D data exchange software comes with many new features.

It adds support for the latest versions of CATIA V5, CGR and NX formats, conversion of new entities for JT, Rhino and CATIA V5 formats, as well as reinforcement of BIM format conversion.

Reinforcement of BIM format converters
Datakit continues its development in the BIM world thanks to the reinforcement of its Revit and IFC file readers.

Reading Revit
Datakit’s Revit format library now supports .rfa (Revit Families) files in addition to the .rvt files that were already supported. Therefore, it’s now possible to convert Revit families into many other 3D formats.

New conversion possibilities have also been added in CrossManager which allow users to export Revit files to 3DXML, 3MF, ACIS, COLLADA, FBX, GLTF, JT, OBJ, PARASOLID, STL and CGR formats. These interfaces have been added to those already available, which means that CrossManager can now save in up to 18 formats from .rvt or .rfa files.

Reading IFC
The new version of CrossManager can convert IFC files into SOLIDWORKS and CGR files. Therefore, users can convert .ifc files into almost 20 different formats.

Support for new versions of CAD formats
Version 2020.2 also enhances the existing Datakit interfaces by adding support for new versions of CAD formats.

All Datakit software benefits from these improvements:
Reading CATIA V5 and CGR
Datakit currently supports reading native files of the new version of CATIA V5. Datakit tools can now read and convert .CATPart, .CATProduct, .CATDrawing, and .cgr files from version R10 up to version V5-6R2020.

Reading NX
Siemens has released several new NX version over the past three months since Datakit’s V2020.1 release. V2020.2 supports all these new versions up until NX 1907.

Writing Open CASCADE
Open CASCADEDatakit offers import plug-ins for Open CASCADE. They allows to load many 3D formats in applications based on this technology. Datakit’s plugins are now compatible with the latest version of this well-known C++ library for CAD applications development: Open CASCADE 7.4.0.

New modules availability
New data types are available in this latest version, allowing more and more data to be read and written in 3D files.

Layers and layer filters in JT reading
Datakit’s JT format reading library now allows Layers to be differentiated. It also supports Layer Filters. This allows users to convert JT files while keeping the visibility setting that was previously applied to the different parts depending on the layer they were originally on, and according to the layer’s visibility setting in the filters.

Converting Rhino textures
Datakit has been working on reading and writing textures in Rhinoceros.

Users can now:
– Read textures in .3dm files, and therefore recover them with the CrossCad/Ware SDK, or convert them into other formats that support textures with CrossManager.
– Import different file formats with their textures into Rhino, with Rhino import plug-ins.
– Export Rhino models with their textures to formats that support them, such as 3D PDF, using export plug-ins for Rhino.

Reading Annotation Set Results in CATIA V5
In some cases, PMI (Product and Manufacturing Information) is stored in CATIA V5 files in graphical form in "Annotation Set Results". Datakit’s CATIA V5 reader now supports reading these types of annotations, in addition to the "classic" PMI that was previously supported. This upgrade is also available for CATIA V5 2D files, with the support of annotations contained in "Drw Results".

With CrossManager, you can easily exchange your CAD models, w hatever the software you use. It supports most of the 2D and 3D, native and neutral CAD formats. More than 30 reading formats and 20 writing formats are available, so you can obtain a conversion solution that perfectly suits your data exchange needs. Indispensable to companies working in a multi-CAD environment, this tool avoids data loss and wasted time when exchanging between CAD software.

Is a quick demo showing how it works: You just have to select or drag & drop a file in the software to convert it in the format that you want. In this video, you can see a CATPart file Converted to 3DPDF, but dozen of other formats are also available!

Datakit is a company specialized in CAD data exchange. It offers standalone converters, plug-ins and SDK that import, analyze and export many CAD formats. Datakit exposes a wide range of geometrical and semantic data and works with many ISV who integrate its technology into their own software.
