- FBX input to STL, VRML, OBJ, 3MF, 3DXML, PDF 3D, PRC, JT, COLLADA, glTF, CGR outputs
- STL, OBJ, FBX input to STEP output
- PLM XML input to 3DXML, OBJ, PDF 3D, PRC, FBX, glTF outputs
The table of all possible combinations is available here.
Improvements for the entire software line
Version 2021.1 also benefits from the continuous improvement of dozens of CAD interfaces provided by Datakit. They are, in fact, constantly maintained in order to improve their quality and support new entities, while optimizing execution time.
This concerns CrossManager and plug-ins, used by end users and CrossCad/Ware for software vendors integrating Datakit technology.
