It just seems out of place. Was it part of the initial contract. Why would autodesk support a 3rd party software?

Is there really no answer.... :(
All sorts of third party software is provided for. For example, Navisworks *still* reads CADWorx 2012 and earlier data natively, even though AutoDesk recently punted Intergraph's developers ADN. The ability to read virtually any 3D file format, including those not from AutoDesk, is a huge bonus for Navisworks.
Of the 50+ file formats NavisWorks will read, that's the only one that makes you wonder why it's there?Quote:
