Sorry : "responsible for the issue" is not the correct expression in my previous message, and can lead to a misunderstanding (it's a bad translation for the french word "responsable", which can have two meanings). I meant that it can be very difficult to find whether the issue, in the information exchange, comes from the importer or the exporter (or both), especially when the importers/exporters are components of a closed source CAD software.
