This Converter writes CADL scripts representing 3D models for the CADKey system. It adds one entry to the conversion lists:

Cadkey CADL .CDL

CADL is a full programming language. This Converter does not read CADL scripts. It only exports CADL scripts, in order to provide a better translation of other 3D formats into CADkey.

Geometry
A script is created that re-creates each polygon.

Material attributes
A palette array is created that corresponds to the basic colors of the materials in the original object. Polygons are assigned colors in this array. However, if the object contained more colors than can be represented in CADL, alternative colors will be chosen.

Options dialog
This Converter has no options on its dialog.
