Datakit has released a range of new plug-ins for 2013.
The CATIA V4 3D to SolidWorks Plug-in enables CAD data transfer from CATIA V4 3D to SolidWorks without a CATIA V4 3D license. It converts part and assembly files (MODEL, .DLV, and .EXP files), and data can be filtered based on entity type, visibility, and layer.
The plug-in supports CATIA layer filter, and allows users to choose axis placement and sew surfacic entities.
The UG NX 2D to SolidWorks Plug-in converts assemblies and parts (*.PRT), and translates all 2D data. It supports NX to NX85. The UG NX 3D to SolidWorks Plug-in translates all 3D data, and supports NX15 to NX85, as well as SolidWorks 2007 to 2013.
The UG NX 3D to Rhino 5 Plug-in filters data based on entity type, visibility, and layer, and supports the layer filter. It supports UG15 to NX8, and Rhino 4 and 5.
