Features affected by compatibility
All CAD files can be imported into Aletiq, but only certain formats benefit from full support. This can limit three features:
Automatic BOM recognition on import — links between assemblies and components may not be established if the format is not supported
3D part visualisation in Aletiq — preview is not available for all formats
CAD plug-ins — available only for certain 3D modelling software
