Hello everyone,
I use DG7.1 on net.VB.
Is it possible to get format support for AutoCad files?
I read in the documentation of DGKC that this is not available in the standard version and i have to contact you.
In my written application i get message:
"Could not open C:\Users\ICRES~1\AppData\Local\Temp\kcxCSFO.tmp"
Thank you in advance
Support for AutoCad files
Re: Support for AutoCad files
Hello, IUnknwn.
Generally, it is available, but expensive. The main problem is in the cost of the third-party components from Open Design Alliance.
A while ago we have integrated ODA components, but we did not have enough customers who needed it to justify the annual license fees. Few people say ODA is greedy and hypocritical (they call themselves non-profit).
A while ago they used to have an option for individuals at like $200 pa. I do not see it now. This was the option we meant in our docs. We could ask the user to have the libraries and load them if they are present.
If you really need it, we can re-activate it. The cost would be around 3,000 USD. This might go down later, if we have more customers.
If it is not critical, I recommend using other formats. Step or Brep are the best currently for parametric modelling. I believe AutoCAD formats are going away gradually.
Regards
