Google Sketchup plugins for SolidWorks and AutoCad

European software developer Sycode has developed a series of plug-ins for Google Sketchup. These plug-ins allow Google Sketchup to read and write both AutoCad and Solidworks files as well as many other popular CAD programs.

Since the plug ins cover previous versions, it opens up the possibility that Sketch-Up could be used as a file translation tool to make files backward compatible with previous versions of CAD software.
