SYCODE launches thirty two SketchUp data exchange plug-ins
Written by SYCODE
Tuesday, 06 January 2009
Panaji - 6th Jan, 2009 - SYCODE today launched thirty two SketchUp data exchange plug-ins.
"It is not every day that a company launches thirty two products on a single day. Today is a special day for all of us at SYCODE", explains Deelip Menezes, Founder and CEO of SYCODE. "Without doubt, free Google SketchUp is one of the most popular 3D CAD systems out there. However, despite it's extremely large install base, a minute fraction of CAD vendors have taken the trouble of adding SKP read/write support to their CAD software. As a result data exchange between SketchUp and other CAD software is extremely poor. Today SYCODE is changing that - completely. Our SketchUp SKP data exchange plug-ins will change the way users of free Google SketchUp and Professional interact with users of other CAD software."
The plug-ins being released today can be broadly classified into two categories:
(1) CAD file import and export plug-ins for SketchUp
(2) SKP file import and export plug-ins for other CAD software
Using the CAD file import and export plug-ins for Google SketchUp, a SketchUp user can import files from other CAD software and export his 3D models to other file formats that can be read by other CAD software. Similarly, users of other CAD software can import SKP files into their software or export their 3D models to SKP files. SYCODE's SketchUp data exchange plug-ins allow users of Google SketchUp and other CAD software to easily share 3D models with each other.
SYCODE is releasing thirteen file import and export plug-ins for Google SketchUp. The import plug-ins for SketchUp are:

Keeping in line with the SYCODE tradition of developing, maintaining and supporting plug-ins for versions of software that the CAD vendors have long retired, but which their customers still use, our programmers have taken great pains to make these plug-ins work with software as early as AutoCAD 2000, Inventor 9, SolidWorks 2000 and Solid Edge 10. Presently we are working hard to develop plug-ins for the next versions of AutoCAD and Inventor among others. When you buy a SYCODE plug-in you can be assured that unless something really extraordinary happens, SYCODE will provide you a plug-in update long before your CAD vendor releases a new version and long after the product has been retired, thereby minimizing disruption in your workflow.
The plug-ins are priced between 95 to 195 Euros and are available as fully functional 10 day/run trials. The software comes with detailed documentation in the form of a compiled HTML help file which contains a step-by-step tutorial to get the end user started in the shortest possible time.
