Support for Solid Edge 2025 and Revit: Extended Compatibility
CAD Exchanger version 3.24.11 brings a significant advancement with the full integration of two strategic formats: Solid Edge 2025 and Revit. This extension allows technical teams to streamline their exchanges in multidisciplinary environments combining mechanical design and BIM.
Support for Solid Edge 2025 now ensures precise conversion of PAR, PSM, and ASM files in their latest version. Assembly structures, geometric features, and metadata are preserved with maximum fidelity. Imported models maintain their integrity and can be exported to all formats supported by CAD Exchanger.
The integration of the Revit format constitutes an essential technical gateway between BIM and mechanical CAD universes. Complex architectural models can now be imported with precision, facilitating interdisciplinary coordination and the integration of mechanical equipment in construction projects.
Optimized Management of DWG Proxy Entities
This update introduces significantly improved handling of proxy entities in DWG files. These entities represent a major technical challenge as they contain custom data created by third-party applications that extend AutoCAD's functionality.
The improvements now allow CAD Exchanger 3.24.11 to:
- Preserve the structure and data of proxy entities during import
- Maintain their visual representation even without access to the original third-party applications
- Convert these entities to standard geometry when technically possible
- Retain all associated metadata to ensure document consistency
This technical evolution directly addresses the needs of design offices working with DWG files from multiple sources, particularly in industrial engineering and infrastructure sectors.
Enhanced Reliability in Shape Healing
Automatic shape healing is one of the most critical functions in CAD conversion processes. Version 3.24.11 introduces several algorithmic optimizations that strengthen the robustness of this essential functionality:
- Enhanced processing of complex faces with geometric discontinuities
- Improved detection and correction of self-intersecting surfaces
- Optimized algorithms for handling small edges and tangential faces
- Adaptive tolerance systems to preserve the original geometric precision
These improvements ensure that models maintain their geometric integrity throughout the conversion process, a determining factor for demanding applications such as numerical simulation, manufacturing, or advanced visualization.
Other Technical Improvements
Beyond the core functionalities, CAD Exchanger 3.24.11 incorporates various optimizations that improve overall performance and user experience:
- Accelerated loading of large assemblies through optimized processing algorithms
- Reduced memory consumption when handling complex models
- Targeted refinements of the interface for more intuitive navigation in assembly structures
- Enhanced stability during conversion operations between heterogeneous formats
These technical improvements address the concrete needs of engineering teams facing interoperability challenges in multi-CAD environments on a daily basis.
Benefits for Industrial Users
CAD Exchanger version 3.24.11 represents a strategic evolution for professionals across all industrial sectors. The integration of Solid Edge 2025 and Revit formats, combined with improvements to DWG proxy entities and shape healing algorithms, eliminates major technical obstacles in collaborative workflows.
These technical advances translate into concrete operational benefits: reduced conversion errors, optimal data preservation, and accelerated development cycles. Teams can now focus on their value-added missions rather than solving interoperability problems.
