TransMagic is a pioneer in multi-CAD interoperability software solutions, offering cutting-edge software applications for 3D CAD file translation, model comparison, geometry repair, collaboration, and viewing. These tools are specifically designed to address the challenges of CAD incompatibility and product data exchange in the manufacturing sector.

CATIAV5 Exporter for AutoCAD is CAD translation software that allows for the smooth exchange of information, enabling users to export AutoCAD drawings to a CATIA V5 file. This file can be used on the local system later.

Creating detailed drawings in CATIA V5 can be a complex task due to its advanced engineering capabilities. To simplify this process, ProtoTech Solutions developed a CATIA V5 add-in for Autodesk AutoCAD, powered by TransMagic technology. This innovative plugin bridges the gap in ‘mixed CAD’ environments by enabling seamless interoperability between CATIA V5 and Autodesk AutoCAD. TransMagic sought a cost-effective solution that could be delivered quickly without compromising operational efficiency.

TransMagic faced a unique challenge: integrating geometry mapping from CATIA V5 models into AutoCAD while meeting stringent project deadlines.
Key requirements included:

Fast turnaround time.
High fidelity in color, normals, and geometry export.
Reduction in file export time.

ProtoTech Solutions collaborated closely with TransMagic to address these needs and identify the optimal solution for their business.

After initial consultations, ProtoTech Solutions swiftly mobilized to develop the required plugin. Using the TransMagic translator library, ProtoTech created a powerful Autodesk AutoCAD plugin capable of converting drawings directly into CATIA V5 file formats.

Key Features of the Solution:

Intuitive User Interface: Streamlined for ease of use.
Comprehensive Model Export: Supports both VizRep and Brep models.
Color Preservation: Maintains color integrity during export.
CATIA V5 Compatibility: Ensures seamless operation across multiple CATIA V5 versions.
Enhanced Capabilities: Ideal for 3D modeling, surfacing, assembly design, and sheet metal work.

This innovative plugin has significantly impacted the Automotive and Aerospace industries, where CATIA V5 and Autodesk AutoCAD are vital tools for fixture design, product development, facility layout planning, and process documentation.

Key Advantages for Users:

Seamless Data Sharing: Effortlessly share Autodesk AutoCAD data in native CATIA V5 file formats, enabling smoother collaboration.
Cost Efficiency: Reduces expenses by streamlining workflows and eliminating the need for complex intermediate solutions.
Enhanced Collaboration: Empowers supply chain partners using AutoCAD to communicate directly with OEMs relying on CATIA V5.
