MTK 2026.6: Manufacturing SDK for quoting and MaaS platforms with DFM checks & feature recognition →
Support for NX 2512 and Solid Edge 2026
CAD Exchanger now supports importing NX 2512 and Solid Edge 2026 files, allowing you to integrate data created in these versions into your existing CAD Exchanger workflows.
IFC: improved visualization for models with large coordinate offsets
A new SnapOriginToSite parameter has been added to IFC_Reader to improve calculations and visualization for IFC models located extremely far from the IfcProject coordinate system origin.
Large coordinate offsets can reduce floating-point precision and lead to geometric distortions and visualization issues. When SnapOriginToSite is enabled, the offset of one of the Sites relative to the IfcProject is applied to the entire model. This moves the model closer to the coordinate system origin while preserving the relative positions of Sites.
The applied offset is stored in ModelData_BIMModel::Root().Transformation(), allowing applications to access the transformation after import.
In CAD Exchanger Lab, SnapOriginToSite is enabled by default to help ensure that affected IFC models are displayed correctly.
JT: improved handling of transformations with reflection
JT import has been improved to handle non-uniform transformations with reflection more reliably, fixing cases where transformed geometry could have an incorrect orientation after import.
Additional format improvements
This release also includes several format-specific fixes:
CAT. Fixed a crash when importing free curves of the EdgeCurve family. Also fixed a crash when importing CATProducts with external references created in unsupported versions.
glTF. Fixed a crash when converting an ITS containing vertices but no indices when Draco conversion is disabled.
OBJ. Fixed an issue where instance names could be incorrectly indexed on export.
SOLIDWORKS. Fixed an SLDASM import error caused by external files being in a busy state.
Manufacturing Toolkit updates
Here are the highlights of Manufacturing Toolkit 2026.6:
- STEP AP242 export with assembly structure and PMI.
- Oriented 2D bounding box computation.
- External chamfer and improved pocket recognition for CNC machining.
- Improved forming feature recognition for sheet metal.
- PMI support and other updates in MTK Workbench and MTK Web.
