Datakit, specialist in data transfer between CAD systems, announces the availability of version 2021.3 of its software. It adds support for the latest versions of ACIS, Inventor, Creo Parametric, Revit, STEP and NXformats, as well as new data reading capabilities for Rhino and CATIA V6 / 3DEXPERIENCE formats.

The latest update to Datakit's range of CAD format conversion software is available with many new features!

Support for new versions of 2D and 3D formats

It adds support for reading new versions of CAD and BIM formats for all Datakit software:

ACIS Reader

Datakit’s ACIS file reader now supports .sat .asat .sab and .asab files in all versions of this format, up to 2021 1.0.

Inventor Reader

Datakit's Inventor reader now supports reading .ipt and .iam files from Inventor 2022.
The versions 9 to 2022 are therefore supported.

NX Reader

Siemens has released several new versions of NX in the past three months since the release of Datakit's V2021.2. V2021.3 already supports these new versions and can convert NX files up to NX 1973.

Revit Reader

The latest Revit 2022 version is now supported.
So Datakit's Revit reading interface now supports files from Revit versions 2015 to 2022.

Creo Parametric Reader

Shortly after its release, Datakit is already able to offer an interface that supports reading files coming from Creo Parametric 8.0 files. Datakit tools can now read and convert 2D and 3D files from version 2000i of ProEngineer, up to version 8.0 of Creo.

STEP Reader

Datakit converters now support STEP AP209 files reading.

Improvements for the full range of software

The V2021.3 also benefits from the continuous improvement of the dozens of CAD interfaces provided by Datakit. They are, in fact, permanently maintained in order to improve their quality and to support new entities, while optimizing execution time.

These improvements apply to all Datakit product lines: for end users using plug-ins or the CrossManager converter, as well as for software developers incorporating Datakit technology.

The most notable advancements in this release are camera data support for the CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE (.3dxml) file reading library, and user attribute support for the Rhino (.3dm) file reader.

Users wishing to test Datakit software can download it and obtain a demonstration license on the official pages of CrossManager and of CrossCad/Plg.

Software developers interested in the Datakit SDK can visit the CrossCad/Ware overview page and contact Datakit to get the information for their activity.
