Bentley Forms Partnership With RAM International; Bentley and Leading Provider of Structural Design Software Will Distribute and Develop Solutions for Structur

As a
member of the Autodesk Developer Network and Inventor Partner program,
the TransMagic products were certified following the development of an
Inventor plug-in to translate 3D files directly into Inventor 9 and
the soon to be released Inventor 10.
"We are excited about our Inventor Certification," commented Todd
Reade, President of TransMagic, Inc."
TransMagic provides CAD formats that are compatible with every CAD
software system making TransMagic the first complete and affordable
multi-format application of its kind.

This feature allows TransMagic customers, who also own a
license of Inventor, to translate files from the Inventor menu,
thereby reducing the number of steps required to import CAD files,
such as Pro/Engineer, Unigraphics or CATIA, directly into Inventor. TransMagic 's advanced geometry "Repair" system will stitch
surfaces together, close gaps and recondition parts for use as 'solid
models' in Autodesk Inventor or any other CAD/CAM system.
