How to convert PTC Creo (Pro/Engineer,.asm,.prt) to IronCAD?


PolyTrans|CAD+DCC performs mathematically precise CAD, DCC/Animation, GIS and BIM 3D file conversions into all key downstream 3D packages and file formats. Okino software is used and trusted throughout the world by many tens of thousands of 3D professionals in mission & production critical environments, backed by respectable personal support directly from our core development team.

     

PTC Creo

Creo is a family of Computer-aided design (CAD) apps supporting product design for discrete manufacturers and is developed by PTC. The suite consists of apps, each delivering a distinct set of capabilities for a user role within product development. They generally compete with SolidWorks, UG NX, CATIA, Solid Edge and Autodesk Inventor.

For over 3 decades Okino has been a primary conversion partner of PTC, especially for our core business focussing on the conversion of their native ProE/Creo (ASM and PRT) and ProductView (PVS, PVZ) files.

Their current product naming can be a bit confusing:

  • Creo Elements/Pro - previously Pro/Engineer
  • Creo Elements/Direct - previously CoCreate
  • Creo Elements/View - previously ProductView

Okino licenses the real and actual ProE/Creo runtime toolkits from PTC directly and hence can guarantee perfect file conversions. Suggested conversion methods include:

  • Via native 'Creo Elements Pro' (Pro/E) files, .asm and .prt.

  • Via PTC .neutral assembly and part files.

  • Via STEP and IGES files.

  • Via native ProductView PVS/PVZ files.

     

IronCAD

IronCAD is 3D and 2D CAD design package focused mainly on the mechanical design market. It uses both Parasolid and ACIS modeling kernels to provide computational methods for solving geometric calculations such as calculating blends and shells.

Okino knows of IronCAD well as it used to be called Trispectives, developed by 3D Eye, prior to its August 1998 v1.4 release date.

Converting from IronCAD into Okino software can be handled by STEP AP214, IGES solids, Parasolid, ACIS SAT, VRML2, HOOPS HSF, STL and Wavefront OBJ.

Converting from Okino software into IronCAD can be handled in one of many ways, such as: DXF, STL, VRML and Wavefront OBJ.
