Malcolm Crowe Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 My understanding is that IRONCAD uses SPACIAL 3D INTEROP translation tools. INTEROP offers both Read and Write capability of the ACIS Assembly format (.asat). The .asat file format would be a lot more useful to us than .sat, as it conveys the assembly structure as well. Is there any reason why the .asat file format can't be added to IRONCAD? Malcolm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 It has not been requested before to be honest. We can look into the support for a future version. Are there other users that would like to have this capability as well (just commnent in the post). Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Crowe Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 We prefer to exchange data as a kernel format (either ACIS or PARASOLID depending on the kernel of the other software). But the problem with standard ACIS (.sat) is that the original assembly structure isn't maintained. Assemblies and sub-assemblies are lost. Only parts transmit. This is a real nuisance for us, and wasn't something that we realized as a problem when we first started exchanging data using .sat in the early days.

jolizon590016 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 +1 I think IC at this stage can stand on its own and having this is a true collaborative asset. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Crowe Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) It has been over a year, so I thought I'd raise this request again regarding adding the ability to import and export the ACIS Assembly (*.asat) file format.

Malcolm Crowe Posted June 7, 2022 Author Share Posted June 7, 2022 Another year, another reminder. Is there any reason why the .asat file format can't be added for importing and exporting? Malcolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 No promises, but we are going to attempt to support this with the 2023 release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cary OConnor Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Hi Malcolm, Do you have sample files that we can use for testing as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
