Requirements
- Alias 2012 x64 version
- VC++ 2010 runtime
- Windows 7 64bit
Installation
Please copy the unzipped plug-in file to user Documents/Autodesk/Alias/ or somewhere you can find it. Open Alias and open Utilities > plug-in manager. Open the new rhino_to_alias.plugin. The plug-in is installed under the "File" menu.
Operation
Click on "Import .3dm" menu. A file browser will open. Click on the .3dm file you want to import. Click Import. The file is retrieved on a new Stage. Please be patient if the file size is very large as it does not give any progress bar. Please check the Alias prompt for any errors during translation.
Limitations
This software is still in active development and will expire on 1 Oct 2012. Please check back for an updated version soon.
Feedback
Please leave you comments on existing features, wish lists, problems etc.
