CCE has announced the availability of ODX/JT CAD Libraries for reading and writing native JT format files without licensing JTOpen. CCE's ODX (Open Data Exchange) is a suite of CAD-independent libraries that gives users the ability to read and write native CAD files without the cost of ownership associated with the CAD system.
JT is a 3D format used for product visualisation, collaboration and CAD data exchange. ODX/JT includes support for product structure, faceted geometry, attributes and PMI information in JT files. The recent inclusion of JT expands CCE's list of ODX Libraries that includes ODX/Cat (CATIA V4), ODX/Cat5 (CATIA V5), ODX/Ug (NX), ODX/SW (SolidWorks), ODX/PS (Parasolid), ODX/IGES and ODX/STEP. CCE's ODX libraries are portable, object-oriented and have C++ API to help create interoperable applications. They can be used for enhancing the ability of an application to support multiple CAD formats or to access CAD data.
