LKSoft Has Released IDA-STEPVersion 1.4

This version allows the importing of almost every kind of STEP file (ISO 10303) and the processing of it further.

Based on the international STEP standard ISO 10303, IDA-STEP is suited for product data exchange across organizational boundaries and long-term design archives unaffected by changes in vendors, tools, and processes. The building blocks of the IDA-STEP system include:

•  IDA-STEP Center for viewing and editing STEP files in a local or network database

•  IDA-STEP Database for building STEP data repositories in commercial database systems

•  IDA-STEP Converters and Plug-Ins for data exchange between MCAD, ECAD and PDM tools via the unified STEP database

•  IDA-STEP Electronics for printed circuit boards (PCB), -assemblies (PCA) and the electro-mechanical integration.

The FREE IDA-STEP Viewer lets you, your suppliers, and your customers share product info and technical drawings (in 2D and 3D geometries) in a "smart" data format. Download the viewer now and start exploring new dimensions of collaboration in product design, development, and manufacturing.
