SYCODE Ships 6 Neutral Data Exchange Plug
Ins for AutoCAD
Prices start from $495 to $995
PANAJI,
Goa, India, Dec 2, 2009 - SYCODE has released six neutral CAD file format
data exchange plug-ins for AutoCAD. These plug-ins give AutoCAD the ability
to read and write IGES, STEP and SAT files. "AutoCAD can already read and
write ACIS SAT files,” explains Deelip Menezes, Founder and CEO of SYCODE.
"However, this ability is restricted to ACIS version 7.0 only. This can pose
a huge data exchange problem for AutoCAD users, especially since ACIS has
reached version 20 and most CAD systems read and write SAT files later than
version 7.0. The SAT import and export plug-ins that we are releasing today
will eliminate this problem since they use authentic libraries from Spatial,
the developers of ACIS, and hence will always be compatible with the latest
version of ACIS.

SYCODE already offers plug-ins to import IGES and STEP files. However,
these are mostly effective to import 2D data. 3D data is imported as
wireframe curves, not solids. The IGES and STEP import plug-ins have been
completely rewritten and can now import 3D data stored in IGES and STEP
files as 3D solid objects in AutoCAD. This is a significant improvement as
it greatly increases the ability of AutoCAD to exchange 3D data with other
CAD systems. The IGES and STEP export plug-in are new products. When used
along with the import plug-ins, they give AutoCAD the ability to do a
complete round trip of 2D and 3D data. As an Autodesk partner, SYCODE is
committed to offering AutoCAD users robust data exchange solutions that go
to solve the data exchange problems that they face in a multi-CAD
environment.
All six plug-ins are powered by the widely used 3D InterOp technology
from Spatial. 3D InterOp is the industry standard for proprietary and
neutral CAD file format data exchange and is used in almost all the major
CAD systems. Besides data exchange 3D InterOp also offers powerful repairing
and healing features which are extensively used in these plug-ins. Repairing
involves checking the file for corrupted data and fixing invalid data.
Healing corrects the differences in precision. The plug-ins also create
detailed log files which are extremely useful in identifying data
translation problems and aid in locating and fixing errors.
The plug-ins work with AutoCAD 2000 through to AutoCAD 2010, 32 Bit as
well as 64 Bit and is available as a fully functional trial. They come with
installers and detailed documentation in the form of compiled HTML help
files which contains step-by-step tutorials to get end users started in the
shortest possible time.
More information about the plug-ins and free downloads can be found at
