DATAKIT has improved its offering with Datakit Release 2025.1 through the performance and accuracy of its data exchange solutions for software vendors or industrial customers: 2D 3D B-Rep geometry, attributes, product manufacturing information (PMI), metadata, meshes, etc. Release 2025.1 is a continuation of the improvements enabling precision of 2D/3D data exchange.

A new QIF* version 3.0 (*quality Information framework) import capability is now available. This QIF import capability is for anyone who needs to compare quality information with design data. 3D geometric data, tolerances, PMI dimensions, assembly, attributes, and UUIDs (universally unique identifiers) are available with QIF to PDF, QIF to JT, and QIF to STEP convertors. 

Compatibility with recently updated CAD versions

Reading mode

  • 3DExperience/CATIA V6 2025x
  • Fusion 360 till versions 2.0.20948
  • Navisworks versions 2016-2025
  • Solid Edge 2025
  • SolidWorks 2025
  • Unigraphics NX 2406 Series (till 2406.7000)

Writing mode

  • CATIA V5-6R2018 to V5-6R2024

Improvements have been made to the existing translators in the Datakit Release 2025.1, such as:

  • Ability to read UUIDs defined as NavisWorks GUIDs, ensuring better data traceability,
  • Processing of graphical or semantic PMI data to complement or improve the accuracy of convertors that read Creo View, Catia V5, V6, UG NX formats and write JT,
  • Optimized management of NURBS and node trees in Catia V5 and V6,
  • Advanced SolidWorks assembly reading for configuration management, as well as virtual or imported components.
  • Detailed unit and color marking in Revit.

With this release, Datakit is helping to link all the stages of the production of a part or an assembly together.
