Title: Request: Can exiftool support CAD files *.SLDDRW and *.SLDPRT
Post by: zvi_kave on August 27, 2024, 06:19:05 AM
Hi Phil,

Exiftool is very helpfull.
Does Exiftool support verifying Solid Works CAD files *.SLDDRW and  *.SLDPRT file format?
If not, can it be done with small effort ?

Thanks,

Zvi

Do you have some sample files? Is there any specific metadata in those files?

Hi,
I attached 3 Solid Works files.
I am not familiar enough with the details.
I was requested to check if the files are valid Solid Works files.

Thanks a lot, Zvi.

Adding read support for these files would require some effort, so I don't think it makes sense to do this since I can't recall anyone else wanting this feature.  A quick look at the files and a search for the file format specification didn't yield any fruit.

Hi Phil,
I do not expect you to do extra code.
If it can not fit any known format, then I shall leave it.
Thank you,
Zvi
