CADConvert pro is fault-tolerant

The system largely detects incorrect entries in the input files. Missing input parameters are substituted with rational default settings.

CADConvert pro - customization-friendly

In the DXF environment, there are, for example, a number of representation possibilities for practically every element of a CAD system. Each manufacturer naturally selects one particular form of representation during the software writing process. The result is a different "DXF dialect" for every CAD system. Which means, of course, that the results of conversion of DXF files from differing output systems will also turn out differently, because all the various "dialects" have to be interpreted during reading of these DXF files.

CADConvert pro firstly transfers all possible information from the output program into an extremely efficient graphic core. Only then does it start assigning ("mapping") the various elements to possible target system elements to achieve best possible parametering of the conversion process. In CADConvert pro, mapping is supported by means of graphical user guidance. The parameters can then be stored. These functions make it possible to store scenarios for conversion from a range of output programs or for different clients and retrieve them whenever they are needed.

Parameter setup

The parameters are presented in clearly structured and easily understandable input boxes. Input is assisted by means of default options and browsers.
