File generation added to translation service
Delcam has added the ability to generate files in the CATIA V5 format from all major CAD file types to its PS-Exchange on-line data translation service.
These latest additions provide an even more comprehensive service to subcontractors that need to read CAD files from their customers.
The full range of options for input into PS-Exchange is now AutoCAD ACIS, DXF and DWG, CATIA versions 4 and 5, Pro/Engineer 2001 and Wildfire, SDRC, Unigraphics, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Cimatron, Parasolid XT, IGES, VDA and STEP, while files can be exported as IGES, Parasolid XT, ACIS, STEP or STL, or as Delcam's own DGK format.
Delcam launched PS-Exchange in 1999 when it was the first on-line translation service to use a pay-per-use voucher-based payment system.
This gives two immediate advantages over other translation services.
Firstly, since the translation software is stored on the user's own computer, the system is completely secure, with no chance of sensitive information being intercepted or mailed to an incorrect address.
Secondly, this approach gives much faster results since only a short authorisation code is transferred over the web, not the complete CAD model.
Once the authorisation has been obtained, the translation itself should never take more than a few minutes. Request a free brochure from Delcam ...
