3D Ubiquity and Interoperability. While DWF, PDF, JT, 3DXML, eDrawings and others are all about communicating, they serve slightly different masters – each has tasks at which it excels and others at which it doesn’t. All seem to be trying to meet a Swiss-army-knife-like array of capabilities. Because the market space is broad and the value of optimization is high, it is likely that each will be around for some time. That said, some of the toolsets based on these formats (Autodesk Design Review, Adobe Acrobat 3D, and others) are attempting to play a role in addressing interoperability. Can this be the route to finally getting the bulk of our interoperability issue unclogged, or is it just a small improvement in the flow?
