Xpresreview viewer

XpresReview is an electronic design review solution that allows you to easily share multiple documents in a collaborative environment. Supported by NX and Solid Edge, XpresReview easily combines 3D CAD models and other associated documents into a single package, so participants in your review process have all the information they need to communicate effectively.

Package files, created using NX, Solid Edge or Insight Connect, can contain a broad range of documents, including:
* 3D models, including Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) * 2D drawings * Microsoft Office documents (e.g. Word, Excel, PowerPoint) * Adobe PDFs * Image Files (e.g. TIF, JPG, BMP) * AVI Movie Files (e.g. AVI, MPEG, WMV)

Recipients of the package can use XpresReview to quickly and easily interrogate its contents. XpresReview includes intuitive tools for:
* Viewing - Navigate 2D drawings and 3D models * Measurements - Check dimensions for 2D drawings and 3D models * Mark up - Use highlights to draw attention to specific areas and add text comments * Section Views - Create interactive clipping planes to view the interior of 3D models.

The files can then be repackaged for return to the originator or the next person in the review process, keeping your projects on time and avoiding late surprises.

Experience the benefits of sharing complete contextual packages of design data with your partners and suppliers. XpresReview is a stand-alone product and, for no charge, gives you the ability to view, interrogate and markup package files. For many customers, the ability to "publish" a package file for viewing with XpresReview is also free. Click here for details.

Autodesk DWG TrueView 2007

View, plot, and publish authentic DWG files only with Autodesk DWG TrueView. Share AutoCAD drawings easily and accurately among engineers and architects. View and plot DWG and DXF files, and then publish them as DWF files for quick and easy review and markup in Autodesk Design Review. Publish 3D DWF files. Ensure the integrity and reliability of your data. You will always get full drawing fidelity because the viewer is built on the same technology as AutoCAD 2007 software.


eZmeeting

Simple and easy-to-use, eZ allows you to view SketchUp, PDF, CAD, 3D Models, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, digital photos, graphic files etc. all within the eZ application.

Amazing 3D viewing tools include measure distance, calculate area, dynamic rotation about any axis, section cuts, lighting, color & material controls, and hidden line removal. Cutaway sections can be invisible, ghosted, hidden line removal or a combination of ghosting and hidden line removal. The section plane can be rotated about any axis and moved through the model along any axis.

Sophisticated CAD viewing tools allow you to view and turn DWG and DXF layers on and off, and set foreground and background color for easy viewing of important details. Dynamic zoom, pan and rotate lets you focus on the area you want. Measure distance and calculate the area of any part of a drawing. Tell your clients about eZ so you can distribute your drawings, and they can view them through eZ's simple interface, without needing to purchase or learn programs such as SketchUp and AutoCAD.

Insert and view digital photos quickly and easily directly from your scanner or camera. Zoom in to any level, rotate and pan. Also, convenient markup tools including add text, pencil, line, ellipse, rectangle, arrow, etc. allow for you to markup on the files without affecting the original, as if you were marking on a transparent overlay.

Organizing information into a compound file (containing more than one file) is a great way to keep track of different kinds of related information. These multi-part documents are easy to distribute for viewing and collaboration. You no longer have to worry about clients and colleagues having the same applications or software versions you do in order to share information.
