DataKit Translators
Overview
DataKit Translators
Simply Rhino is authorised to sell and support the full range of Datakit file transfer solutions.
Of most interest to Rhino users is the range of import and export filters outlined below. If your Rhino workflow includes regular data exchange with a solid modeller then you may find these specialist translators are more productive than using a neutral data format like STEP or IGES.
SolidWorks users please note that Rhino will read .sldrpt and .sldasm files and that SolidWorks will open native Rhino v5 files.
