September 3, 2007 - A new family of CADverters from data translation specialist, Theorem Solutions promises improved interfacing of IsoDraw with CATIA and UG NX, as well as major benefits for technical publications professionals. Based on proven Theorem direct translation technology for CATIA and UG NX, the new CADverters for IsoDraw deliver unrivalled translation capabilities to the heart of the IsoDraw environment. Previously, CATIA or UG NX models could only be imported using IGES (the Initial Graphics Exchange System) a process requiring dedicated time and effort from illustrators and product designers alike.
Combining several key translation components, the latest Theorem products offer a simple and affordable solution that not only overcomes traditional data translation shortcomings, but also provides a breakthrough in communication between design and technical publications functions. Offered as stand alone products from the source CAD applications, CADverters for IsoDraw provide a highly cost-effective and easy to use method of dealing with CATIA and UG NX data. The new translators' capabilities are also enhanced by the inclusion of Theorem¹s novel Data eXchange Navigator (DXN) module, which enables users to further streamline their technical publications operations.
Not only does the powerful DXN interface allow users with read only source file access to browse directory structures and identify the CAD files or assemblies they need, but also to view and manipulate the data on their own PC. As a result, CADverters for IsoDraw permit technical publications professionals to select and output components or assemblies in the required IsoDraw format without the need for design staff assistance, specialist CAD skills or access to a CAD licence. By enabling large numbers of native CAD source files to be managed simply and effectively, the new CADverters also offer users the option of batching files together for translation allowing them to continue with other work while their IsoDraw ready data is created in the background.
"These new products extend the reach of our world-class data translation technology into a new vertical market," comments Theorem¹s general manager, Keith Jeacock. "We have based their development on feedback from a wide range of technical publications professionals in order to fully meet the needs of that community. Our market research indicates that many organisations can make a strong business case for these products and we have already seen high levels of interest from potential users. I am therefore confident that CADverters for IsoDraw will quickly establish themselves as de facto standards for data translation in this important business sector."
