How to convert KeyCreator (CADKEY,.prt,.ckd) to XAML-3D (.xaml)?

PolyTrans|CAD+DCC performs mathematically precise CAD, DCC/Animation, GIS and BIM 3D file conversions into all key downstream 3D packages and file formats. Okino software is used and trusted throughout the world by many tens of thousands of 3D professionals in mission & production critical environments, backed by respectable personal support directly from our core development team.

KeyCreator

KeyCreator is a non-parametric, non-history based, "direct" 2D/3D solid modeling CAD program. Originally known as CADKEY, it was among the first CAD programs with 3D capabilities for PCs. Besides solid modeling, KeyCreator is also capable of wire-frame and surface modeling, as well as drafting.

KeyCreator has good support for exporting to all of the major 3D file formats, including STEP, ACIS SAT, IGES, Parasolid, STEP and STL. STL is the least desireable format to use. Recommended formats for importing KeyCreator data into Okino software is ACIS SAT, IGES and Parasolid.

XAML-3D

XAML-3D is a general XML-based 3D file format created by Microsoft in the mid 2000's for use in its Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Silverlight, Workflow Foundation (WF), Windows UI Library (WinUI) and Universal Windows Platform (UWP).

Microsoft came to Okino to request that we support XAML-3D as (basically) no other company did so. As such, we invested a considerable amount of time in writing our custom XAML-3D exporter and a stand-alone XAML-3D file viewer. XAML-3D never came to have much industry traction.
