=== Neutral file exchange ===
Neutral file exchange uses an intermediary neutral format to translate data between CAD systems. This method starts from a pre-processor embedded in the original CAD system, which generates the neutral file from the originating CAD format. The target CAD system post-processes the neutral file and converts it into the target native format.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Choi |first=G.-H. |last2=Mun |first2=D.-H. |last3=Han |first3=S.-H. |date=1 January 2002 |title=Exchange of CAD Part Models Based on the Macro-Parametric Approach |journal=International Journal of CAD/CAM |volume=2 |issue=1 |pages=13-21 |url=https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/13ca/477671832ff1d157cf17849876624da346d5.pdf}}</ref> Some neutral formats are defined by standards organisations such as [[IGES]] and [[ISO 10303|STEP]] while others are proprietary but still widely used and are regarded as quasi industry standards.<ref name=":15" />
