Learn how to convert Microstation to 3DM with CAD Exchanger

Microstation is a CAD software platform for 2D and 3D design and drafting, created by Bentley Systems. Its geometric kernel is Parasolid. It is widely used in the architectural and engineering industries and allows generating 2D/3D vector graphics objects and elements and includes BIM features.

3DM

A 3DM file is a native file format for 3D models in Rhinoceros CAD application software. It contains surface, point and curve information.

3DM files can be exported in both NURBS (non-uniform rational B-spline) and polygon mesh representations, making it possible for other CAD / CAM / CAE / graphic design software to edit those models.

In addition to Rhino CAD software, 3DM files can be opened with Autodesk Fusion 360.

Everything you need to know about CAD file formats

A CAD file is an output of a CAD software, containing key information about the designed object: its geometry and topology representation, 3D model hierarchy, metadata, and visual attributes depending on the format of the file.

Debut of emerging product codenamed 'CAD Exchanger MTK', support of new versions of popular formats, reworked BIM model structure, and SDK documentation revision in 3.23.0

Read Autodesk Inventor and NX files written in the latest version, enjoy a more rigid BIM model structure, easily navigate through SDK documentation, take a closer look at Manufacturing Toolkit and its features.

How to use Docker image of CAD Exchanger SDK

Since the release 3.22.0, we have offered Docker images, allowing developers to easily set up and run CAD Exchanger SDK in the preferred environment. Let’s see how to build a Docker image that you can use for running apps.
