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.

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.
