HOOPS Exchange 2026.6.0
Technology Updates
Format Updates
| Format | Updated Version |
|---|---|
| Creo | 13.4.0.0 |
| JT | 10.11 |
See File Formats for the list of all supported formats.
Platform Changes
The Linux x86_64 binaries now require at most the GLIBCXX_3.4.25 symbol from libstdc++ (down from GLIBCXX_3.4.28). This improves compatibility with older Linux distributions, allowing HOOPS Exchange to run out of the box on systems such as RHEL 8 without requiring any additional workarounds.
Sample Build System
The Linux and macOS packages no longer include standalone Makefiles for the samples. Use CMake 3.21 or later to build them instead. To keep a Make-based workflow, select the Unix Makefiles generator when configuring with CMake.
The prebuilt Visual Studio solution is still included in the Windows package.
New Features
New Format
| Format | Version |
|---|---|
| QIF | 3.0 |
- QIF Reader Support: With the ongoing development of the QIF format reader, HOOPS Exchange 2026.6.0 now provides a beta version of the QIF reader. As a beta release, the QIF Reader has some limitations. For a detailed list of current limitations, please refer to the QIF Reader documentation page.
Feature Requests
- Improved Creo Assembly Fidelity: Assemblies using Creo’s Pro/PROGRAM feature to suppress components now render accurately, matching the original design intent. Programmatically driven component states are faithfully preserved during import and visualization.
- SolidWorks Construction Geometry Support: HOOPS Exchange now fully extracts SolidWorks “For construction” geometry elements, including lines and circles.
API Changes
These symbols have been deprecated since release 2026.4.0 and are now removed.
