Cimmetry adds more 3D to AutoVue 19.CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Cimmetry Systems believes AutoVue 19 may be the most full-featured but easiest to use version yet of its collaborative mechanical CAD tool. The newest update of AutoVue has added 3D functions and support for Gerber and ODB ODB Our Daily Bread ODB Object Database ODB Old Dirty Bastard (Wutang clan & rap group) ODB Old Dirty Bastard ODB Open Database ODB Ontario Drug Benefits ODB Cordoba Spain (airport code) ++, along with improved user-friendliness. David Edwards David Edwards may refer to one of the following persons.
"AutoVue users can now view files in Allegro, Gerber, ODB++ and EDIF EDIF - Electronic Design Interchange Format. Not a programming language, but a format to simplify data transfer between CAD/CAE systems. LISP-like syntax. See also Berkeley EDIF200. E-mail: <edif-support@cs.man.ac.uk> ftp://edif.cs.man.ac.uk/pub/edif. ," Edwards said. Version 19 has added design verification and inspection capabilities, as well as new 3D features. But at the same time, Edwards added, "We've relaxed the constraints to make 3D more user-friendly, so that anyone can use it." Version 19 adds an "assembly compare" feature that lets users view changes between design iterations and check the integrity of converted designs. Users can use the new 3D exploded view An illustration in which all the elements of an assembly are slightly separated from each other, enabling each element to be viewed independently. Pie charts are a type of business graphic that is also shown in an exploded view, where all pieces of the pie are separated from each other. to explode complex assemblies, and a 3D search feature can search and filter for parts in a 3D assembly based on a variety of native file attributes. AutoVue allows the viewing and marking up files in 450 native file formats. In the client mode, remote users can have access to all of the tool's features and collaborate on the design, without ever having control over the IP. "The IP never leaves the site," said Edwards. "You can control the IP." Other features include added layer sets, a new highlight mode that can dim the background, and the ability to print to an all-black scale. AutoVue's client/server version now supports Linux and HP 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). , and Windows and Solaris versions have been updated. Edwards also explained that Cimmetry's recent acquisition by PLM (Product Life cycle Management) A comprehensive information system that coordinates all aspects of a product from initial concept to its eventual retirement. Sometimes called the "digital backbone" of a product, it includes the requirements phase, analysis and design software provider Agile would have little effect on Cimmetry. "Cimmetry is a standalone business unit," said Edwards. "Very little changes from a customer's perspective." EDITED BY ANDY ANDY Andrew ANDY US Popular Abbreviation for Andrews AFB SHAUGHNESSY |
