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 having the design software installed on the machine.
RxHighlight adds advanced functions like mark-up, file conversion and text search & extraction, for collaboration between team members.
“As a leader in our market segment, Rasterex is committed to staying in front with continuous update of file filters and features” says Per Christian Lindstad, CEO at Rasterex Software. “Our customers under SSA contract have already received the new version, which provides them with over 40 new features and enhancements”.
Focus on Markup and Collaboration!
In addition to a new and modern user interface and a long list of improvements and enhancements, the new version has a strong focus on markup and collaboration. Rasterex makes software for practical professionals, so feed-back from users is the main driver for product development. Markup consolidation, symbol library, stamps, named markup entities and search & find markup entities are new features that further increase the practical usability of the software.
