Design software receives compatability
upgrades
The DWG/DXF import add-ons read 3D solid geometry from DWG/DXF files and create corresponding solid bodies in an Alibre Design part document.
Sycode has released AutoCAD DWG and DXF file import and export add-ons for Alibre Design "Alibre Design already can read and write AutoCAD DWG and DXF files", explains Deelip Menezes, owner of Sycode

Plug-ins upgrade to AutoCAD 2007
Sycode has released updates to 3DM Import for AutoCAD and Terrain for AutoCAD, its AutoCAD plug-ins.
Plug-ins expand AutoCAD file compatibility
Sycode has launched six file import plug-ins for AutoCAD.
"However, this ability is severely limited to 2D DWG/DXF files only".
"When importing DWG/DXF files, Alibre Design ignores 3D objects such as solids, bodies and regions and creates a 2D drawing document from the 2D curves present in the file".
"Moreover, Alibre Design cannot export parts or assemblies to DWG/DXF files".
"It can only create DWG/DXF files from its own 2D drawings".
"This makes 3D DWG/DXF files pretty much useless to Alibre Design users".
"Our AutoCAD 3D interoperability add-ons for Alibre Design are designed to remove this limitation and give Alibre Design users the ability to read and write 3D DWG/DXF files".
The AutoCAD 3D interoperability add-ons for Alibre Design include DWG Import for Alibre Design, DXF Import for Alibre Design, DWG Export for Alibre Design, and DXF Export for Alibre Design.
The DWG/DXF import add-ons read 3D solid geometry from DWG/DXF files and create corresponding solid bodies in an Alibre Design part document.
The DWG/DXF export add-ons reads solid bodies in an Alibre Design part or assembly document and creates corresponding 3D solid geometry objects in a DWG/DXF file.
These add-ons can read and write DWG and DXF files up to the latest version of AutoCAD.
The software comes with detailed documentation in the form of a compiled HTML help file which contains a step by step tutorial to get the end user started in the shortest possible time.
