BricsCAD Drawing
Bricsys's BricsCAD is a significant player in the Computer Aided Design (CAD) software landscape. It offers a compelling alternative to other CAD software, with its ability to keep pace with the latest DWG file format. It has the following features:
- DWG Compatibility: The ability to read and write the latest DWG file format, which is the native format of AutoCAD and supported by many other CAD applications. DWG files can store 2D and 3D geometry data, as well as project metadata, such as layers, blocks, dimensions, etc.
- BricsCAD Plug-ins: Automesher Application and Automapki Application plug-ins for BricsCAD allow you to import and export 3D and GIS data from various external file formats, such as STL, SKP, OBJ, SHP, KML, etc. This enhances the interoperability of BricsCAD with other design tools and platforms.
- ObjectBRX Technology: The customization technology for BricsCAD provided by Bricsys, which we use to develop our BricsCAD plug-ins. This ensures optimal integration with the BricsCAD environment and efficient translation of your external file formats, making BricsCAD an even more powerful tool for design professionals.
Inventor File
The IV (Inventor) file format is a 3D graphics file format developed by Silicon Graphics (SGI) for representing 3D scenes and models. It is a text-based format that stores a scene graph, which consists of geometric shapes, materials, lighting, textures, and other properties that define a 3D environment. The format was widely used in the 1990s and is closely associated with the Open Inventor toolkit, a C++ library designed for 3D graphics development. Some of the features of Inventor IV files are:
- Scene Graph Representation: The IV format uses a hierarchical scene graph to represent 3D scenes. This structure allows for efficient organization and management of complex 3D models, where each node in the graph represents an object or transformation in the scene.
- Text-Based Format: IV files are human-readable text files, which makes them easy to understand, edit, and debug. This format is also easy to parse programmatically, making it versatile for various applications.
- Material and Appearance Properties: IV files can define materials with various properties such as color, shininess, transparency, and texture mapping. This allows for detailed control over the appearance of 3D objects in a scene.
IV Files Converter: Autoconverter enables you to effortlessly convert and save your 3D files into the IV (Inventor) file format, providing a seamless transition for further editing and refinement. This capability ensures that your 3D models are preserved in a format that is not only easy to read and modify but also compatible with a wide range of legacy and modern tools.
