seeing more and more dstv files coming in taking the place of dwg files. This is wonderful, because dstv has everything the machines want already and so much more.
Sad in dstv is not importable (especially exportable to vcp).
I have no idea how hard it is to generate import and export functions, but it looks like new metal robots and cam are taking this format to be the future.

I know limited to steel world, but that is likely the big player in robototics/cnc. Motoman, peddinghaus, and controlled automation (CA = the best) have moved their cam software to favor the dstv. Unfortunately they moved without the cad world, leaving us bilingual (machine/drawing) people in a world of frustration.
We can always dxf sides in, the 3d (beams/channels) in one file is the sweet spot. the integrated frp/mrp information is bonus. I am not the cheerleader of mrp, but the days of iso-aint-so and aisc and astm are here, and the documentation takes longer than building in some cases now. the 3d files are really small to, which is nice for networking and the remaining dos dinosaur machines.
