Microsoft Visual Studio Runtime Requirements
Starting from HOOPS 2023, HOOPS Exchange migrated its compiler to Visual Studio 2019 (previously 2015). Following Microsoft’s Documentation on binary compatibility, this change implies an update to the required MSVC redistributables.
HOOPS Exchange being an explicitely shared library, the impact occurs at runtime. Any application running HOOPS Exchange must have at least Visual Studio 2019 redistributable.
Deprecated Platform Supports
Starting from HOOPS Exchange 2023 SP1, we are deprecating support for Android x86 (32-bit) and v7. We are planning to remove it by the end of year 2023.
Visit our Developer Support page to familiarize yourself with support procedures, including deprecated functionality.
Format Support and Platform
CAD format support may be restricted in some platforms. Please refer to File Formats for more information.
