STEP AP242 allows for tessellated files to be saved to the STEP format. Tessellated files are polygonal files, or what are sometimes referred to as VisRep files. Most STEP files are true BRep CAD files, with ‘precise’ geometry (as opposed to ‘tesselated’ geometry. To open a tesselated STEP file with TransMagic, click on the TransMagic ‘star’ icon in the upper-left of the user interface, and choose Open QuickView. Then select the file you are interested in. At right you can see an example of a tessellated STEP file being opened with Open QuickView. In this case, the user wanted to convert the tesselated STEP file to a CAD...

New WebGL Capabilities The latest TransMagic build (12.31.400) has both a home button and an assembly tree display to improve viewing and CAD data access in a browser. The image at right was captured from Google Chrome, but any HTML5 browser will support the WebGL format. If you click the checkmark on any component, the part will no longer be visible in the assembly; checking the box causes the part to return. Clicking the ‘Home’ button makes the part return to a default zoom and position. Pressing and dragging with the left mouse button causes the part or assembly to rotate in 3D. Spinning the mouse wheel zooms the image. Pressing and dragging the...

The latest build of TransMagic, 12.31.300, includes the ability to read and write to CATIA V5 2022 (R32) and CATIA V6 2022 (R32), Creo 9.0, and ACIS 2022 (R32). There is also support for Inventor View 2023, which leverages the ability to read Inventor 2023 files. Also new in the .300 build is the ability to export WCS entities in STEP, and COMMAND access to Include Body Edges with the [no]ineb option. IF you are running the Powerpack for Inventor add-on, there is an edit you will need to make to your registry in order to use the add-on work with Inventor 2022 or 2023, since Autodesk is now making all of their add-on “registry free”. Our development...
