RxView

View any file anywhere! With only one piece of software from Rasterex - and without having the original software installed on your machine!

With its strong presence in the technical software market, Rasterex have addressed the need for image-enabled collaboration in a networked environment and are proud to present a new generation of software tools allowing organizations to view and collaborate, enterprise-wide, with support for over 200 different file formats.

RxView

RxView provides maximum flexibility and can be used as a standalone application or integrated with industry standard document management systems. RxView also provides a Shell Extension to Windows Explorer that gives thumbnail viewing capabilities in the Explorer window.

Extensive File Support

RxView R6 displays and prints over 200 different file formats including the following file types:

  • 2D CAD drawings (AutoCAD 2004, Microstation etc.)
  • 3D CAD models (CATIA, PRO/E, SolidEdge, Solidworks etc.)
  • Adobe PDF
  • Office Documents (Word, Excel, Powerpoint)
  • Raster files (including multi-page TIFF)
  • Image files and pictures
  • Plot files
  • and many more

Advanced Functionality

  • New CAD and Office toolbars for better handling of these formats
  • COM-based component architecture displays multiple files simultaneously
  • 3D drawing support includes; CATIA, PRO/E, Unigraphics, SolidEdge, SolidWorks, IGES, ACIS, STL, STEP and Inventor. 3D files can be rotated and sectioned and measured
  • 2D drawing support includes; AutoCAD (incl. AutoCAD 2004), MicroStation V8, ME10/30, HPGL etc.
  • Includes multiple and split windows, thumbnail and preview support, view selection, Bird's Eye view, magnifying cursor, layer control, pen table manipulation and Watermark printing
  • Multi-page functionality for documents and TIFF files
  • Calibration and snap functions for take-off measurements on drawing files
  • Previous versions of files can be compared with the differences highlighted
  • Use the Shell Extension and RxView is fully integrated into Windows Explorer enabling file preview of supported formats, directly within Explorer

Shell Extension

Activate the Shell Extension by selecting it from the Microsoft Explorer "View" and "Explorer" menu. The shell extension allows a preview of all supported files to be displayed when selected.

QuickView

The QuickView feature enables you to create a miniature image of the active file. This miniature view then appears in a small window in the File Open dialog box and in the File Explorer, and will help you to identify files before loading them.

Case Study

Jackson Lifts

Existing CAD System:

  • AutoCAD 2005

Problems We Solved:

  • 2D detailing taking too long
  • Unable to see design issues before prototyping
  • Could not calculate rope lengths – high wastage
  • Need to compete in the market

Solution We Implemented:

  • Autodesk Inventor Suite Simulation

Customer Benefits:

  • More competitive in the market
  • Speed of design changes
  • Calculate rope length and reduce wastage
  • Ability to run what if scenarios during the design process
