=== Direct model translation ===
Direct data translators provide a direct solution which entails translating the data stored in a product database directly from one CAD system format to another, usually in one step. There usually exists a neutral database in a direct data translator. The structure of the neutral database must be general, governed by the minimum required definitions of any of the modelling data types, and be independent of any vendor format.<ref name=":05" /> Major CAD systems, such as [[SolidWorks]], [[PTC Creo]], [[Siemens NX]] and [[CATIA]] can directly read and/or write other CAD formats, simply by using ''File Open'' and ''File Save As'' options.<ref name=":15" /> This option is limited by the fact that most CAD formats are proprietary therefore direct translators are typically unidirectional, partially functional and not standardized.<ref>{{Cite journal |
