  • The Leader in Advanced .Dwg Technology
    October 17 2017 TEIGHA® DRAWINGS The leader in advanced .dwg technology www.opendesign.com Copyright © 2017 Open Design Alliance, All Rights Reserved BACKGROUND Teigha Drawings is a stand-alone independent SDK available for developers working with the .dwg, .dxf, and .dgn file formats. It was developed by Open Design Alliance (ODA), a technology consortium that has been providing interoperability tools for the engineering software industry since 1998. BUSINESS OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION ODA has a long history of experience with the .dwg file format, dating back to 1998. Our software has kept the .dwg file format open and universally accessible for the past 20 years. Today, in addition to providing interopera- bility, we are leveraging our vast experience with .dwg to make it a tool of choice for modern application development. INDUSTRY-PROVEN TECHNOLOGY Teigha Drawings has been powering thousands of mission critical engi- neering applications for more than a decade. It is a mature, high-quality and trusted solution for building CAD applications. ACCELERATE TIME-TO-MARKET In addition to turn-key support for .dwg and .dgn files, Teigha Drawings includes components for a variety of other common engineering tasks including version control, visualization and publishing. Using Teigha Drawings as a base, you can build more sophisticated applications in less time, using fewer resources.

  • Professional SDK for Cloud-Based Engineering Applications
    August 25 2017 TEIGHA® CLOUD Professional SDK for Cloud-Based Engineering Applications www.opendesign.com Copyright © 2017 Open Design Alliance, All Rights Reserved BACKGROUND Teigha Cloud is a framework for developing CAD applications that run in the cloud and can be accessed via the Internet. It provides a high performance economical solution for viewing CAD models in a browser. However, it is more than just a visualization system—it also supports various types of editing and general client-server application development. BUSINESS OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION Teigha Cloud is developed by Open Design Alliance, a technology consor- tium that has been providing mission critical components for the CAD industry since 1998. Web-based technologies are a part of most engineer- ing workflows today, and Teigha Cloud was developed as a solution for web-based visualization and application development. MODERN TOOLS Much of the Teigha Cloud client side is created by compiling existing Teigha C++ source code to JavaScript using Emscripten. The result is an efficient development process that intelligently leverages Teigha’s stable, mature C++ code base. COMPLEMENTARY APPROACH Unlike many cloud-based systems from other vendors, Teigha Cloud was developed to be compatible with existing Teigha technology. While the Teigha Cloud client is written in modern JavaScript, the server-side technol- ogy uses the same Teigha Kernel that is used on the desktop. INDUSTRY-PROVEN TECHNOLOGY Teigha Cloud inherits the experience and best practices of Teigha products that have been used for decades in mission critical roles across all engi- neering disciplines. ATTRACTIVE LICENSING Teigha Cloud is offered under a fixed fee license with no royalties for cost-effective deployment, including deployment of SaaS and other web-based applications.

  • Direct Use of CAD Files (DWG, DXF, DGN, TAB)
    System Direct Use of CAD Files (DWG, DXF, DGN, TAB) The TNT products support import and direct use of CAD files in Autodesk’s drawing (DWG) and Drawing eXchange (DXF) formats, Intergraph/Microstation’s DGN format, and MapInfo’s TAB format. Linking by double-clicking on a file in any of these formats or browsing to and selecting them in Spatial Data Display or any other process creates a co-named file that contains the link information (*.rlk). Links created in the Import process are stored in Project Files (*.rvc) creating the functional equivalent of CAD objects. This Project File may also contain other objects of other types. You can also copy the elements into CAD objects during import, rather than just linking, then the CAD object in the TNT product is independent of the original file. DWG and DXF files are the internal and interchange formats, respectively, created by AutoCAD. These also are used primarily for infrastructure design. Direct use and import of DWG and DXF files is supported by the DWGdirect libraries from Open Design Alli- ance. Direct use of DXF and DWG files is available for all operating systems supported by the TNT prod- ucts: Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Unix. DWG and DXF files do not have a place to store a Coordinate Reference System (CRS). The first time you choose a particular DWG or DXF file for direct display, the Auto-Link Issues to Resolve window opens for you to indicate what to do about the lack of a CRS. You can identify the Many external CAD files are likely to be engineering CRS for the file if the file’s coordinates are in drawings that are not georeferenced.

  • Best Practices Whitepaper
    Best Practices working with .dwg data – White Paper © DesignSense Software Technologies Author: Rakesh Rao Introduction to DWG: The .dwg format is the industry-standard for CAD design. It was created by Autodesk as the native file format of its hugely successful AutoCAD software. It close counterpart, the DXF file format became the open, published format while the .dwg remained proprietary and known only to Autodesk. The popularity of the .dwg was such that there were soon a large number of third-party software to read/write .dwg files. Leading them is the Open Design Alliance (ODA) which is today the de facto standard provider of software to read and write .dwg for desktop and cloud apps. There is probably not a single design professional who has not used AutoCAD at one or other time in their career. Billions of .dwg design data has been produced over the last three-and-a-half decades. The Quality of DWG data: © 2020, [www.thedesignsense.com], [email protected] +91-9243438300 If you see the above in your drawing, you have a problem with your CAD procedures The moot question we need to ask is if we are producing the right kind of quality design data and it not, what can we do better? In this post, I would like to express my thoughts on the quality, structure and type of .dwg data produced by various design organizations across the world. The questions I would like to ask the design community are these: • Are we putting enough thought into creating good quality .dwg data that are useful beyond the immediate requirement of creating good-for-production or good-for- construction drawings.
