RxView
allows users to view & print more than 250 different file formats (2D & 3D CAD, plot-files, PDF files, Office documents, raster images etc.) - without the design software installed on the machine.
RxHighlight
is the same application, but adds advanced functions like redlining and markup, file conversion and text search & extraction, for collaboration between team members.
“Updating the AutoCAD filter to latest version is always important for our customers” says Per Christian Lindstad, CEO at Rasterex Software, “but even more important in version 9.0 is the support for the new XML format in MS Office 2007 and the strong improvements of the 3D model inspection”.
Customers under SSA contract have already received the new version. New users can download and try the software for free on Rasterex download page.
Updated format support:
- AutoCAD 2008 support
- SolidWorks 2007 support
- MS Office 2007 support - MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint and RTF
New agreement with Datakit improves 3D support:
- Rasterex has signed an agreement with Datakit, a leading vendor within 3D translators, for use of their 3D technology for viewing and inspection of 3D models within Rasterex viewers
- The agreement with Datakit provides support the high end formats. Parts and assembly. CATIA V5, CATIA V4, Unigraphics, PRO/E and JT
- The mid range formats; Inventor, SolidWorks and Solid Edge, are supported by Rasterex directly, but are now removed from the standard product, and have instead become a part of the optional 3D readers
- All the 3D readers can simply be added to the standard RxView & RxHighlight, but are subject to individual licensing and pricing
