Datakit offers Catia V5 to Rhino 4.0 conversion in batch mode. What does it mean?
Designers often see importing data as a laborious, uncreative chore. Automation helps creative people to save precious time and energy. Don’t forget that this plug-in has a further advantage: Rhino users do not need a Catia V5 licence in order to run it. Users can opt to import all the available files in a list without wasting time moving files, or selecting them from a directory. Sub directories will aso be procesed if that’s what the user initially chose to do. The interface processes all Catia V5 entities, assemblies, topological, surface, and wireframe data and attributes. CATParts, CATShapes and CATProducts can all be imported. With the directory mode, users can also confine processing to just the file types they are particularly interested in. The results of the conversion (.3dm) are stored in the same directory as the original files unless the user specifies another location.
