LATTICE TECHNOLOGY's converters translate all major CAD and DCC formats to XVL. Our converters are fast and efficient and typically reduce the file size by 30-200 times with no loss in accuracy. They are available as plug-ins and as a standalone server-based solution.
With our converters you can translate files by hand, or configure them to run automatically in response to file changes or according to a fixed schedule. Set the converters to perform batch translations every night, or have them watch the original data files and perform an automatic translation whenever a file changes. Our automatic translation solutions make out-of-date files a thing of the past.
