Open Design Alliance Announces DWG 2010 Support

By DE Editors

The Open Design Alliance (ODA) has announced the beta release of version 3.1 of its development platform, delivering support for DWG 2010 files. The release also includes a number of new features for both DWGdirect and DGNdirect, including overruling and subdivision mesh surface support for DWG, and improved DGN rendering that now supports dimensions, level overrides, and lineweights.

“Our goal with version 3.1 is to provide our members with stable, high quality access to DWG 2010,” said Neil Peterson, chief technical officer of the ODA. “We received positive feedback from our alpha release in July, and our newly expanded QA team has put this latest beta version through a comprehensive and rigorous testing process. Based on this, we strongly encourage our members to start incorporating version 3.1 into their applications and testing it.”

Version 3.1 is available immediately at www.opendesign.com for download by ODA members.
