Depending on the file formats you need to open and work with, you can choose from three versions of 3D-Tool CAD viewer: Basic, Advanced, or Premium. Look at the table below for the file formats you need to import to the Viewer. Also, consider the export file formats you will need. The Premium version is the only one that comes with the 3D-NativeCAD Converter, which allows you to convert most 3D CAD models (BREP) into more compatible types.

The 3D-Tool Viewer upon loading a file will convert all 3D file types to graphic visualization data (MESH) upon loading, therefore exporting is only possible to other visualization formats, not BREP.
The 3D-NativeCAD Converter can open most 3D CAD models (BREP) and offers conversion to many CAD file types. The 3D-NativeCAD converter can only be used with a Premium license.
