1. A method in a computer system for automatically translating a CAD model from a primary file format to a secondary file format and storing the CAD model in a web-accessible database in the secondary file format, the method comprising:

  • receiving a CAD model identifier that identifies a selected CAD model in the primary file format;

    in response to the received CAD model identifier, locating the selected CAD model in a first database;

    retrieving the selected CAD model from the first database;

    opening the selected CAD model;

    setting a translation Protocol for translating the selected CAD model from the primary file format to a neutral file format;

    translating the selected CAD model from the primary file format to the neutral file format;

    translating the selected CAD model from the neutral file format to the secondary file format;

    receiving a destination comprising the web-accessible database;

    receiving a translation accuracy requirement;

    in response to the received translation accuracy requirement, determining the accuracy of the translation of the selected CAD model from t e primary file format to the secondary file format; and

    in response to the received destination, storing the selected CAD odel in the web-accessible database in the secondary file format.
