Question

Did anyone try to read programmatically an Alibre Design CAD file?
I see that deep inside a part file (*.AD_PRT) there's an STEP/ISO 10303-21 structure, but I'm wondering about the rest of the file.. Is it proprietary?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Alibre product manager told me (via email) that currently there's no "open" specification for AD_PRT files (and it looks like the format changes fairly often)

OTHER TIPS

I would expect the rest of the file to be proprietary. But if geometry is all you want, then the STEP file stream is probably enough.
