CADKEY Develops New Free Viewer with HOOPS Technology from Tech Soft; CAD Viewer expands company's use of powerful HOOPS components.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers OAKLAND, Calif. & MARLBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 18, 2003 Tech Soft America (TSA TSA See tax-sheltered annuity (TSA). ), the leading provider of component graphics technology to the CAD/CAM/CAE industry, and CADKEY Corporation, a leading developer of Windows(R)-based mechanical design and drafting software worldwide, announced the all-new CADKEY(R) V21 Viewer was rapidly built on the HOOPS(R) 3D Application Framework (HOOPS 3d/AF), further extending CADKEY's use of HOOPS technologies. The new CADKEY viewer, available for free download from www.cadkey.com/resources/free, allows users to view the all-new-architecture files for CADKEY GraphX and CADKEY Workshop Version 20 as well as the newest release - Version 21. It also gives users the opportunity to export files in a variety of formats including the popular HOOPS Stream File (HSF HSF Human Space Flight HSF Hispanic Scholarship Fund HSF Heat Shock Factor HSF HeatSink and Fan HSF Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada (Fondation des maladies du coeur du Canada) HSF Heat Sink Fan ), the format at the center of the OpenHSF Initiative. "CADKEY was looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. a simplified method for both CADKEY users and non-CAD users to view original data stored in our new '.CKD' file format. It was important that it have an easy-to-use interface, various display motions, measuring capabilities, attribute verification and numerous export options so that non-engineering departments could readily access and use the information for collaborative purposes. We also wanted a wide range of export options for ease of model and drawing distribution. By using the HOOPS 3D Application Framework we were able to focus on quickly and easily delivering a simple yet powerful viewer," stated Robert Bean Robert Ernest Bean (5 September 1935 – 7 December 1987) was a British Labour Party politician and polytechnic lecturer. Having served as a councillor, Bean was elected Member of Parliament for the marginal Rochester and Chatham seat in the October 1974 general , P.E., President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

CADKEY had a specific set of requirements for this product, including optimized graphics display and output of next-generation compressed graphical files as well as an aggressive timeline for delivery. HOOPS 3D Application Framework was the ideal toolkit for them to use and has given the CADKEY Viewer a solid foundation and rich functionality," added Ron Fritz, Managing Partner, Tech Soft America. About HOOPS 3D Application Framework HOOPS 3D Application Framework (HOOPS/3dAF) is an extensible, high-level component that dramatically simplifies the design, development and maintenance of high-performance, interactive 2D/3D applications for Windows, UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). , LINUX, Windows CE (Windows Consumer Electronics) Microsoft's version of Windows for handheld devices and embedded systems that use x86, ARM, MIPS and SHx CPUs.

It provides over 50 statistical processes, including regression analysis, correlation and analysis of variance. , Surpac, Pam-Systems, Sescoi and 150+ others rely on HOOPS technology in one or more shipping applications to drastically reduce R&D costs, dramatically speed time-to-market, enhance the graphics performance and functionality of their applications and enable them to focus on their core competency. With HOOPS/3dAF, the base infrastructure for building highly-custom, high performance applications is already optimally designed and built. Developers work from a high level to extend and customize the framework, taking advantage of the power of the underlying set of component and focusing their development efforts on their true value-add rather than attempting to re-invent the vast power and functionality already encapsulated within the HOOPS product set.
