Enhancements and Functionality Changes

General

  • Change in Default Value for Options Affecting B-rep Translation
The default value has been changed from false to true for the following options that affect B-rep translation. This change has been made for all applicable Reader and Writer components.

ACIS Reader/Writer Component

  • Support for Extremities of Dimensions
The SPAXPMI_DIMENSION class has an interface for getting extremity points of dimensions. Refer to Retrieving Dimension Extremities for more details.
  • Support for Importing Assembly PMI
The ACIS Writer imports PMI annotations created at assembly level in source assembly file. This is supported only in ACIS .asat or .asab assembly files. This is not supported in XML or flatten (.sat or .sab) route. Also, assembly PMI annotations attached onto workplanes or axis systems (local coordinate systems) of parts are not supported. Refer to the section Assembly PMI Annotations for more details.
  • Support for Material Names
The ACIS Writer imports Material Names of bodies. Refer to the section Material Names for more details.

CATIA V4 Reader/Writer Component

  • Deprecated Option: TranslateExtraEntities
The TranslateExtraEntities option has been deprecated and is no longer available.

CATIA V5 Reader Component

  • Support for Extremities of Dimensions
The CATIA V5 Reader can export extremity points for ordinate and linear dimensions. Refer to Dimension Extremities in CATIA V5 for more details.
  • CATIA V5 Toolkit Update
The CATIA V5 Reader has been updated with the CATIA V5 R19 toolkit.
  • Support for Hidden Instances in Assembly
The CATIA V5 Reader exports hidden instances from CATIA V5 assembly. Refer to the section Assembly for more details.
  • Support for Material Names
The CATIA V5 Reader now exports Material Names of bodies. Refer to the section Material Names for more details.
  • Support for Translating Non-semantic Stacked GeomTol PMI
The CATIA V5 Reader translates non-semantic stacked GD&T PMI. Refer to the section Non-semantic Stacked GeomTol PMI for more details.
  • Support for Translating Assembly PMI

CATIA V5 Writer Component

  • Replacing non-ASCII characters in File Names
When you specify non-ASCII characters to a new CATIA V5 file name, the CATIA V5 Writer will replace those non-ASCII characters with "_" (underscores). This feature is applicable to both Assembly and Part files. Refer to No Support for File Names with Non-ASCII Characters for more details.
  • CATIA V5 Toolkit Update
The CATIA V5 Writer has been updated with the CATIA V5 R19 toolkit.
  • Support for Hidden Instances in Assembly
The CATIA V5 Writer imports hidden instances from source assembly. Refer to the section Assembly for more details.
  • Face Splitting Optimization
When a face's underlying surface is not continuous as per CATIA V5 requirements, CATIA V5 automatically splits that face and creates new faces according to its continuity requirements. In this release, face splitting while writing to a CATIA V5 file is optimized so that a fewer number of new faces are created after the split. Refer to the section CATIA V5 Writer B-rep for more details.

IGES Reader/Writer Component

  • Support for Reading IGES Files on Systems Running Under Non-English Locale
InterOp supports reading decimal data found in IGES files while running under a system locale whose decimal formatting rules differ from the English (United States) locale. Refer to Working with Localized File Paths for more details.

Inventor Reader Component

  • Support for Inventor 2009 version
InterOp supports translation of Part and Assembly files of Inventor 2009 version. Refer to the section Limitations for limitations of Inventor 2009 support.

Parasolid Reader/Writer Component

  • Support for Extremities of Dimensions
The Parasolid Reader/Writer includes an interface for returning extremity points of ordinate and linear dimensions. Refer to the section Dimension PMI for more details.
  • New Option: DeepHealing
The DeepHealing option controls the healing of data that has performance-expensive errors. Its default value is false.
  • Support for Material Names
The Parasolid Writer imports Material Names of bodies. Refer to the section Material Names for more details.
  • Support for Working Coordinate Systems
The Parasolid Writer imports Working (or Local) Coordinate Systems from source systems. Refer to the section Working Coordinate Systems for more details.
  • Support for Parasolid 21.0

Parasolid Manufacturing Option

  • Angular Dimension in Degree
The InterOp Parasolid Manufacturing Option returns the angular dimension value in degrees. In previous releases, the returned dimension value was in radians. Refer to Reference Angular Dimension for more details.

Pro/E Reader Component

  • Support for Wildfire 4 Version
The Pro/E Reader supports reading Wildfire 4 version part and assembly files. Refer to Format and Version Support for more details.
  • Removed Option: AllowNonmanifoldTopology
