Actify Expands 2D Importer Offering
Actify Inc. announced that it has released a round of importer updates and improvements. Included in these updates are SolidWorks, Catia V5 and the newly available 2D PDF Importer. The PDF importer allows users to view and add markup to standard PDF files. Many companies distribute PDF files but lack the ability to add comments and markups to the file. The new Actify importer solves this problem. The availability of the 2D PDF importer demonstrates the company's commitment to helping global enterprises streamline their collaboration processes. Actify continues to improve its importers to support upgraded versions of the industry's leading CAD systems as they become available.
"The ability to view and markup PDF files is something our customers have been requesting and we're glad to be able to offer this capability," said Chris Jones, President of Actify. "We are constantly looking for ways to solve our customers' needs and provide greater value to our solutions and the inclusion of the 2D PDF importer to our already vast list of supported CAD formats and 2D support is a testament to our dedication to meet our markets' needs."
Actify CAD importers allow users to access native CAD files without the use of a CAD system. Importers open and read files from all major CAD systems, allowing SpinFire Professional, SpinFire Publisher or DesignShare Foundation to publish all major CAD files into Actify's compact and secure .3D file format, making sharing data much faster and safer than exchanging CAD files. This allows for paperless distribution of complex design data so companies will realize cost savings and productivity gains in all areas of business including product design, procurement, quoting and estimation, manufacturing, sales, marketing and support.
