Solid Works etc import/export

[A_D]

Hi
Is it possible
- To have the model saved in a format compatible to Solid Works or AutoCAD?
- Can you please tell me what formats are supported and how this could be done?
Thank you

Currently (v4.4) supported formats are:
.glm (native)
AutoCAD DXF (*.dxf)
AutoCAD DWG (*.dwg)
STEP (*.stp, *.step)
IGES (*.ides, *.igs)
BREP (*.brep, *rle)
CSFDB (*.csf, *.csfdb)
ACIS (*.sat)
STL (*.stl)
VRML (*.wrl, *vrml)
CSV (*.csv)
XYZ (*.xyz)

To save in either of these formats use SaveAs(path) method of the KC control or use Save methods of IModel or IModelEx. KC will detect format by the path extension. See the Data Flow sample

There is no direct export to Solidworks, but you can do it via vrml,stl or step

The AutoCAD formats are supported by a commercial component. It is not included by default in v4.4. Get in touch to enable it

Exporting to step might require some work on our side. This is because not all types of objects (3DS, SOR) are exportable to step. Currently they are skipped when exporting to step

Import/export is one of the most difficult functionality to implement. We should be able to expand and improve this area soon
