AutoVue 3D Viewing Features
- Viewer for all popular 3D model formats
including CATIA, Pro/ENGINEER, Unigraphics, Solid Edge, SolidWorks,
Mechanical Desktop, Autodesk Inventor, Solid Designer, STEP, STL, VRML,
VDA-FS, IGES 3D, etc....
-
3D
Compare: Compare 3D assemblies to determine what parts have been
added, removed or changed. This unique AutoVue feature goes beyond a
graphical comparison and includes the ability to detect non-graphical file
attributes at the part or assembly level. View changes between design
iterations, verify the integrity of a converted design and share these
results with others. Navigate through an assembly and its related drafts
at a click of the mouse.
- 3D Explode: Drag a slide-bar to
explode/implode an entire assembly or selected parts/subassemblies. The
exploded view can be saved for future reference. This ability to
dynamically explode complex assemblies allows users to get to the
component level faster and create clear illustrations for control
documents such as assembly and maintenance instructions.
-
3D
Entity Search: search and filter for parts in a 3D assembly based
on a variety of native file attributes [selection status, type (body,
part, assembly…), PMI (Product Manufacturing Information), location and
more]. Results can be inspected, transformed, colorized and exported. This
time-saving feature makes it quick and easy to zero in on a part from a
list of thousands.
-
Native
File Properties: Access native camera positions and views saved
in SolidWorks, Catia V5, Pro/E and Unigraphics CAD systems; Extended PMI
support for Pro/E, Catia V5, Unigraphics, DirectModel JT.
-
New 3D
Usability:
- Select and highlight parts from a 3D BOM
- Call up part entity properties with a double click
- Select identical parts in an assembly using right-mouse button
- Choose one or more parts, select “hide rest” to inspect or isolate those
selected parts from others in the assembly
- Switch quickly between measurement tools using newly adapted snapping
buttons in the measurement dialog box
- Render the model in several 3D modes
including shaded model, wireframe, silhouette and hidden line removal.
-
View 2D modes and drafts of models.
-
Color and highlight
different parts of
assemblies.
-
Generate and export BOMs (Bills of
Material)
-
Support for GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning
and Tolerancing) data
-
Support for PMI (Product Manufacturing
Information) data
-
Calculate mass properties for the whole
or part of the model, including center of gravity, moments of inertia,
inertia tensor and many more.
-
The mass properties default option is precise measurement
based on boundary representation (B-reps). You can also measure using
tessellation.
-
Measure the minimum distance between any
two points on a model or part.
-
Perform precise measurements on all
dimensions, including angles, arcs, circles, surface area, distance, and
cumulative distance.
-
Snapping lets you precisely locate edges,
vertices mid-edges etc. so that your measurements will be exact.
-
Transform model parts independently of
one another. This essential feature gives you the versatility necessary to
explore different configurations, move parts out of the way to better view
hidden areas of the model, and break an assembly down into its components.
-
Section models or parts of models using
user defined section planes and export the section edges as a separate
file.
-
Define the light settings, with options
such as light direction, color and type.
-
Color-code parts or make them visible or
hidden for ease of distinction.
-
Standard 3D views are available including
isometric and perspective views. You can also define your own views.
