When translating from one format to another, it is about much more than the raw geometry. (Source: Datakit model: courtesy of NIST) What do we think?

ModelDisplays of the original file are available. Semantical information of the hole is displayed. Selecting a “hole” feature highlights the hole in the geometry. Creo file converted in 3DPDF with CrossManager. PMI - Previously supported, but this update adds support for new data types including FD&T, GD&T, and 3D annotations. This allows, for instance, highlighting an entity when selecting the associated PMI (Product Manufacturing Information). They are accompanied by semantical data, allowing retrieval of technical information, such as tolerances and profile of a hole.Ĭonnectors - Connectors, which link an entity with its geometry, are retained in translation. Hole, Pattern, and Pipe - Features are recovered in parts as well as in assemblies. ModelDisplays - Predefined views managing an entity filtering, an orientation, and an eventual cutting plane are now supported.

Other updates to the Datakit Creo reader: (Source: Datakit model: courtesy of NIST) Selecting a PMI highlights the matching entity. Datakit software can now read files from Pro/Engineer 2000i to Creo 4.0, converting to many 2D and 3D formats. Updates in the latest version of multi-CAD translator Datakit include support for PTC Creo 4.0 and a variety of technical improvements to improve the accuracy of metadata translation. Other improvements include better handling of PMI and other metadata.
