3D-NativeCAD Converter to convert CATIA V4/V5, Pro/E,
Inventor, UG, SolidWorks, Parasolid, STEP, IGS, VDA and
SAT to CATIA V4/V5, STEP, IGS, VDA, SAT, SAB, ASAT and STL.

 

 

 

 

CATIA V4 - *.exp, *.model, *.session (CATIA 4.1.9 - 4.2.4)
CATIA V5 - *.cat, *.catpart (R2 - R21)
Pro/E - *.prt, *.asm, *.xpr, *.xam (16 - WF5, Creo 1.0)
Autodesk Inventor - *.iam, *.ipt (11 - 2012)
Unigraphics - *.prt (11 - 18, NX - NX7.5)
Solidworks - *.sldprt, *.sldasm (98 - 2012)

 

 

 

 

64bit interfaces for import and conversion of CATIA V4/V5,
Pro/E, Inventor, Solidworks, UG, STEP, IGES, VDA, SAT, and
Parasolid files.

 

 

 

 

3D Advanced file formats: STEP, IGES, VDA, SAT and
Parasolid.

 

 

 

 

3D Basic file formats: STL, VRML, SLP, XGL, OBJ, PLY,
3DS, ASC, DXF, IV.

 

 

 

 

Import of models in STL file format.

 

 

 

 

2D file formats: DXF, DWG, HPGL and HPGL2

 

 

 

 

Merge multiple 3D-models and 2D-drawings.

 

 

 

 

Import 3D-Tool EXE and DDD files.

 

 

 

 

 

Hide and show parts, assemblies, and models.

 

 

 

 

Change the color of parts and assemblies, switch them
transparent, and show them in different render modes,
e.g. shaded, shaded with edges, hidden lines.

 

 

 

 

Create cross sections of the model, its assemblies, and parts.
Save the cross section line to a DXF-file.

 

 

 

 

Create exploded views of the model.

 

 

 

 

Combine Custom Views to animations.

 

 

 

 

Move, rotate, mirror, scale, and copy parts.

 

 

 

 

Change names, colors, and transparencies of parts and
assemblies.

 

 

 

 

Position and align parts.

 

 

 

 

Delete faces, reposition flipped faces, and connect
open edges.

 

 

 

 

Place parts on a Rapid Prototyping System platform.

 

 

 

 

Use 3Dconnexion 3D mouses e.g. SpaceNavigator,
SpaceExplorer, SpacePilot, SpaceTraveller

 

 

 

 

 

Measure distance, angle, radius, diameter, edge lenght,
wall thickness, and clearance.

 

 

 

 

Measure distance, angle, line length, radius and
diameter.

 

 

 

 

Display drafts and calculate the projected area.

 

 

 

 

Calculate and display the wall thicknesses of a model.

 

 

 

 

Display the volume, the surface area, and the dimensions of
models and parts.

 

 

 

 

 

Save any 3D or 2D view as Custom View. Custom Views
contain the state and orientation of the model as well as all
display settings.

 

 

 

 

Change the order and the names of Custom Views.

 

 

 

 

Create 3D-notes on the model.

 

 

 

 

Create redline markups (Arrows, circles, sketches) in
2D drawings

 

 

 

 

Insert text and pictures in 2D-drawings and in the
background of the 3D-view.

 

 

 

 

 

Publish 3D-models and 2D-drawings together with the
3D-Tool Viewer as directly executable EXE-files. DDD-files
can be viewed using the 3D-Tool Free Viewer.

 

 

 

 

Publish models as 3D-PDF files to be viewed with the
Acrobat Reader.( 7.0.7 or higher).

 

 

 

 

Save imported models as STL,VRML, 3DS, or PLY files.

 

 

 

 

Select and copy a section of the screen to the Clipboard.

 

 

 

 

Print any 3D and 2D view or a combination of views.

 

 

 

 

Save any 3D or 2D view or combination of views as BMP
or JPG file.

 

 

 

 

Export animations created with 3D-Tool as AVI video.
