Datakit Cross CAD Benefits

Easy to use software which will adapt to your business process

Reduce Work

The ability to import data into your CAD system rather than modeling from scratch can save production time especially with complicated models.

Share data with other CAD users

Datakit allows sub-contractors to communicate directly with their clients and deeply enrich their product’s interoperability. They are affordable and very popular within design and engineering departments.

Enhance your CAD software

Many CAD software packages have limited file exchange options. With Datakit you can expand your software's capabilities with more file formats to import and export.

Flexible Licensing

With floating licenses, installed on a license server allows Cross Manager to be used by several users on different workstations. This allows large companies to share resources.

Looking for a Cloud Alternative?

3DEXPERIENCE Works provides a Safe, Social, Connected, Informed and Structured alternative to Datakit Cross CAD for team leaders, project managers and other professionals who want to manage data on the cloud and collaborate without constraints.

Safe: Customer controlled access. Transparent cloud backup. Encrypted communication protocols. Data always safe-no overwrite, no loss of data.

Social: Integrated structured and unstructured collaboration tools enabling social innovation. Collaborate on product design or engage with your stakeholders early in product development.

Connected: Every user always connected to a single, common database. Access data anywhere, anytime, on any device. Review and markup models.

Informed: Choose from the widget library, Create and share Dashboards. Get the latest information about your product development. Always have access to your latest data.

Structured: Zero overhead data management - store and manage data across collaborative spaces, share information in communities. Find indexed data faster by using tags, custom search, etc.
