As SW 2010 is now in pre-release mode will the API be updated - quickly - so that 3rd party rendering apps that read the SW native format can actually read the new format? This is an ongoing issue every release with Hypershot and Maxwell. Their developers can update their code quickly but only when the SW API is updated.

Specifically they have requested:

"Fired off an e-mail to the SolidWorks API Team, asking them kindly to update the their API by adding "Retrieve SolidWorks preview bitmap and display lists (2010) C++"."

I'm not a developer, but I want to use SW2010 with both Hypershot and Maxwell. Until I can, I don't use SW2010 for production work.
