SYCODE launches STEP file import plug-in for AutoCAD
Panaji - 24th Oct, 2007 - SYCODE today launched STEP Import
for AutoCAD, a STEP file import plug-in for AutoCAD 2000 through to
2008.
"The
STEP file format is widely used to exchange 3D data between different
CAD systems", explains Deelip
Menezes, owner of SYCODE. “STEP
files contain 3D geometry data of solid models. STEP Import for AutoCAD
reads the 3D geometry data from STEP files and creates 3D curve objects
corresponding to each edge in the solid model. These 3D curves are added
to the current AutoCAD drawing, thereby yielding the wireframe geometry
of the solid in the STEP file."
The STEP file format has its roots in an ISO standard. STEP stands
for the Standard for the Exchange of Product model data. The standard's
objective is to provide a mechanism that is capable of describing
product data throughout the life cycle of a product, independent from
any particular system. The nature of this description makes it suitable
not only for neutral file exchange, but also as a basis for implementing
and sharing product databases and archiving. Almost all 3D solid
modeling systems are capable of exporting 3D solid model data to the
STEP file format. This makes STEP Import for AutoCAD an important
tool to AutoCAD users who wish to collaborate with users of 3D solid
modeling systems.
STEP Import for AutoCAD works with AutoCAD 2000, 2000i, 2002, 2004,
2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. This is in line with our commitment to
develop and support plug-ins for AutoCAD 2000 onwards till it is
technically possible and feasible.
STEP Import for AutoCAD is priced at 195 EUR and
is available as
a fully functional 10 day/run trial. The software comes with detailed documentation in the form of a compiled HTML
help file which contains a step-by-step tutorial to get the end user
started in the shortest possible time.
