AutoVue

AutoVue provides a wide range of view, measure, mark-up, collaboration and 2D data translation tools in one simple and easy to use environment.

AutoVue Solid Model & Solid Model Professional provide the most extensive range of CAD/ECAD/Office/Vector/Raster and other file viewing capabilities in any desktop application on the market today.

AutoVue enables Managers, Sales Engineers & Consultants, Designers, Costing staff, Shop floor personnel etc to get involved in the design through manufacturing cycle, by directly reading the company's product development data (eg CAD files, Spreadsheets, Word documents etc) without the need to translate or tie up an expensive CAD workstation and operator. Mark-ups are stored as independently saved overlays that reference the original source file being marked up. Watermarks can be setup such that printed documents are labelled and controlled accordingly (eg RELEASED, DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL etc). Lotus Notes integration software is provided at no cost.
