Topic Title

Hello,

A potential partner, who developes softwares for Thermal Control in building projects is interested in translating our .AEC drawings into the .DXF format which his software can read.

Is there (or will be possibly available) any engine that could be supplied to him, for providing an automatic conversion among our drawings AEC->DXF to be read by his drawing editor ?
He would insert this engine on a batch routine into his "Import" command for AEC format drawings.

Additionaly, for .DC5 format, would be any similar solution ?

Thanks,
Miguel

I know nothing about the legal aspects of this type of stuff, or where Datacad stands on anything. Soooooo, let me jump in . Maybe Datacad could create (in their free time ) a little package of their format translators and licence it to these types of companies to use in their software to allow better compatibility with Datacad. I'm sure it's nowhere near the top of the to-do list right now, but it seems like the technical part would be more on the other company's end and I'm sure some hefty legal lifting. Also I'd guess Datacad would tread very lightly with getting too connected to another outside company and would want to keep it simple. Just all guesses here.

Hello & welcome,

You should send it in to TechSupport AT DataCAD DOT com, and include the user name and serial number from the DcadWin.INI file (the end of the [General] section) for her license.
