Compatibility of Aletiq with 3D CAD

Is Aletiq compatible with my CAD software and 3D files?

Written by Valentin Coquant

Install a CAD plug-in

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:

  1. Automatic BOM recognition on import — links between assemblies and components may not be established if the format is not supported

  2. 3D part visualisation in Aletiq — preview is not available for all formats

  3. CAD plug-ins — available only for certain 3D modelling software
