File Translator in ZW3D 2013 SP: Enhanced 3D CAD Data Exchange
ZWSOFT, supplier of CAD/CAM solutions for the AEC and MCAD industries, has enhanced ZW3D 2013 SP’s data exchange capability with the upgraded File Translator, which allows designers to freely import, edit and export files from their familiar design software, helping to simplify design process with more compatible file format support, higher import and export quality and shorter design cycle.
Supporting Multiple File Formats
As one of the main enhancements in ZW3D 2013 SP, the File Translator helps to facilitate the reading, writing, and repairing of most 3D CAD file formats, such as CATIA V6, UG NX8.5, Solidworks 2013, Inventor 2013 and Parasolid V25. The improved translating function enables faster and more accurate data exchange with multiple 3D CAD platforms, and as a result the range of ZW3D’s application can be greatly expanded. For instance, manufacturing companies working with multi-platform designs from suppliers, will benefit from seamlessly imported external files.
Improving Data Collaboration with Better Import Quality
ZW3D 2013 SP minimizes the risks of date loss when processing multi-platform data conversion with the updated Translator. In addition, higher display accuracy is achieved by reducing up to 70% of open edges for import module. Working fluency will also be improved, and thus users don’t have to worry about any rework caused by data-loss or incorrect display. The better import quality, coupled with the more fluent workflow, will ultimately make a positive impact on design efficiency.
“There is various 3D design software in the international market, and being able to smoothly handle data exchange is important for users,” said Colin Lin, Vice Director of ZW3D Overseas Business. “Owing to the updated Translator, ZW3D 2013 SP removes boundaries of various files formats, making multi-CAD design available to anyone.”
The Perfect Time-saving Tool for Data Exchange
This File Translator is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of ZW3D 2013 SP. After installation, designers will find more formats will be automatically added to the import list of ZW3D 2013 SP, allowing them to work with different 3D CAD files. The simplified workflow, combined with the easy-to-use interface, will help users deliver more accurate designs in a time-saving way.
