Autodesk, PTC make their CAD software interoperate
8333
(InfoWorld) - Autodesk and Parametric Technology Corp. (PTC) have agreed to make their CAD (computer-aided drafting) software, used in the manufacturing and engineering industries, interoperate better. Under the agreement announced Monday, PTC will use Autodesk's RealDWG software development toolkit to make PTC software interoperate with Autodesk's Inventor 3D and AutoCad software. Autodesk will use PTC's Granite 3D modeling and interoperability kernel to allow for integration between Autodesk software and Pro/Engineer, PTC's 3D CAD application. The two companies said an increasing number of manufacturers run multi-CAD environments and are under pressure to reduce costs and move products faster to market. The agreement will help decrease the costs of running those environments and enable faster, out-of-the-box integration, they said. Â

Asymptote (http://asymptote.sourceforge.net) is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language for technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. Asymptote provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text.   Problems with loading LaTeX packages and slide presentations were fixed. Non-static variables in every loop iteration are now allocated anew. Formatting under locales with nonperiod decimal separators was fixed, along with logarithmic tick labels near the machine epsilon.  Concatenation of nullpaths was fixed. New path markers were added and the perpendicular symbol in the geometry module was improved. The skeleton routines in the solids module were split to provide finer control.  Routines to facilitate drawing 3d contours were added. Reading portable XDR binary data into arrays works again; functions for reading and writing also in native binary formats were added. The TeX preamble is no longer output in inline mode. The TeX pipe is now aware of a previously generated aux file. Memory leaks were fixed. An inline limit is now imposed on old compilers to speed up compilation. Setlocale warnings are disabled unless debugging is on. A colorspace command for extracting the colorspace of a pen was added. An Asymptote introductory slide presentation was added and a user-written Asymptote tutorial is now cited in the manual.
