SYCODE today launched a set of three CAD file conversion programs. The products are:
DWG DXF Converter: Software to convert between AutoCAD DWG, DXF and DXB (Binary DXF) file formats without the need of AutoCAD. This utility is capable of reading and writing all versions of DWG, DXF and DXB files, from AutoCAD Release 2.5 all the way up to AutoCAD 2008. Detailed information can be found at http://www.sycode.com/products/dwg_dxf_converter/index.htm.
IGES STEP Converter: Software to convert between the IGES and STEP neutral file formats. Detailed information can be found at http://www.sycode.com/products/iges_step_converter/index.htm.
Mesh Converter: Software to convert between various mesh file formats. The supported file mesh file formats are: AutoCAD DWG/DXF, 3D Studio 3DS, Rhinoceros 3DM, Stereolithography STL and Wavefront OBJ. Detailed information can be found at http://www.sycode.com/products/mesh_converter/index.htm.
All the utilities come with a batch conversion tool which can be used to convert multiple CAD files at once. They also have support for command line parameters, making them extremely powerful tools to automate CAD file conversion from another application. They can be called from another program with the input file name and output file name as command line parameters and the software will convert the file silently in the background without showing itself. Using this feature they can seamlessly be integrated into a CAD user's existing workflow.
