Rasterex Releases RxView & RxHighlight R10
Rasterex Software has released version R10 of their family of viewer products for Windows.
RxView allows users to view and print more than 250 different file formats. CAD drawings, 3D CAD models, plot-files, PDFs, Office documents, raster images and scanned drawings without the design software installed on the machine.
RxHighlight is the same software, but via the license, it opens up for advanced functions like redlining, markup, conversion, batch processes and text search & extraction, for collaboration between team members.
“AutoCAD 2009 has been available to our customers for several months already” says Per Christian Lindstad, CEO at Rasterex Software, “but we have waited until release R10 before we included it in an official release”.
New Graphical User Interface (GUI):
Version R10 is built on the intuitive user interface of MS Office 2007, and since also AutoCAD 2009 is built on that interface, it was natural for us to do the same.
Version R9.2 is a parallel option for users who are still most familiar with the XP style. The same filter and feature updates as in R10, but still running with the XP/Office 2003 interface. Both R10 and R9.2 can run under Vista and XP, as well as older version of Windows.
Updated format support:
• AutoCAD 2009 support
Updated 3D formats (licensed separately as optional):
• SolidWorks 2008 support
• Inventor 2009 support
• Solid Edge V20
• PRO/E Wildfire 3.0 support
New features and enhancements in R10 and R9.2:
• Autopan added during measurement, as an option
• Line width or line weight now shown in entity info, if these are known from entity information
• Rotation slider is now disabled for document formats
• Timeout feature added. Application now terminates after 2 hours (configurable, and can be disabled)
• "Send as PDF" now includes option to send all pages
• Markup list now contains both date and time in one field
• Added option for CGM filter: disable marker drawing
• License information removed from registry if trial period expires (Application Exit)
• 10 feature fixes and 17 component fixes implemented
• 32 fixes for file format readers: AutoCAD, CGM, MicroStation, DWF, ME10, PDF and MS Word
Customers under SSA contract have already received the new version. New users can download and try the software for free on Rasterex download page.
