New Datakit Version 2025.1

DATAKIT has improved its product offering and the performance and accuracy of its data exchange solutions for software vendors or industrial customers: 2D 3D B-Rep geometry, attributes, product and manufacturing information (PMI), metadata, meshes, etc.

A new QIF* version 3.0 (*Quality Information framework) convertor, is now available. This convertor is for those who need 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.

Other improvements have been made in this first version for 2025, including:

• ability to read UUIDs defined as NavisWorks GUIDs, for better data traceability,
• processing of graphical or semantic PMIs 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, virtual or imported components.
• detailed unit and colour marking in Revit,

Ongoing development of our convertors ensures compatibility with recently updated CAD versions: Reading mode:

• 3DExperience/CATIA V6 2025x
• Fusion360tillversions2.0.20948
• Navisworksversions2016-2025
• SolidEdge2025
• SolidWorks 2025
• UnigraphicsNX2406Series(till2406.7000)

Writing mode:

• CATIA V5-6R2018 to V5-6R2024

With this release, Datakit aims to simplify the linking of all the stages of the production of a part or an assembly together, the company says.
