Open Design Alliance Updates ODA Platform

The Open Design Alliance (ODA) has released version 2.7.3 of the ODA platform, which delivers new features for DWGdirecta and DGNdirecta. Version 2.7.3 includes an expanded set of export capabilities, including HOOPS and STL (stereolithography) export support for DWGdirect. To take full advantage of existing export technology, DGNdirect has been adapted to share most of the export modules of DWGdirect, making PDF, SVG, STL and HOOPS exporting from DGN available to ODA members for the first time.

In addition to the expanded export offerings, version 2.7.3 also loads DWG files 20 per cent faster than previous releases and DXF loading and saving has also been significantly improved. In conjunction with this release, the ODA is opening new 'getting started' guides in wiki format to the CAD community for DWGdirect.

Neil Peterson, chief technical officer of the ODA, said: 'The solid core architecture of DWGdirect made it possible to adapt our existing DWGdirect export-modules to work for DGN in a straightforward manner, providing significant added value to our members with only a minimal amount of development work.' Version 2.7.3 of the ODA platform is available immediately at the Open Design Alliance's website for download by ODA members world-wide.
