    Does anyone have suggestions for software that can be used for creating 3d models that can be used in x-sim, Like simforce-gt and RnR. I have used this: http://www.artifice.com/free/dw_lite.html but it only export in dxf. I understand the format must be vrlm!? There are some professional programs mentioned her, but I guess they are exspensive. If it is not to advanced, it would be nice with a tutorial how to make work in x-sim. It would be nice to let others see and test ideas for the simulator.

    Hey hi,

    What do you want to do exactly ?
    control your 3dmodel from xsim ?
    If it's that maybe you can take a look to solidworks.
    He have programmable API that can control assembly's movement. You will need to interface it with X sim.
