Rasterex Software released version R16.0 of their popular desktop viewers for Windows.
Version R16 continues to serve the hundreds of thousands of users throughout the world with updates, improvements and fixes. Although AutoCAD version 2015 has been supported already since it was launched by Autodesk, the R16 provides a full featured and complete support for AutoCAD 2015 based on Teigha 4.0.0 libraries. Another format which is important for their customers, is SolidWorks. The new version R16 has full support for SolidWorks 3D and 2D up to and including latest version 2014. As always, they have included a number of generic bug fixes and improvements into version 16.
Version R16 introduces a “perfect office option”, a very significant improvement for their customers who rely on a perfect rendering of MS Office files or Open Office files. The “perfect office option” utilizes the users’ own automation manager (included in all MS Office and Open Office installations) to render office files perfectly.
RxView allows users to view & print more than 250 different file formats – without the design software installed on the machine. CAD drawings, 3D CAD models, plot-files, PDFs, Office documents, raster images and scanned drawings.
RxHighlight is the same software installation as RxView, but through the license file, it opens up for advanced functions like redlining, markup, file conversion, batch processes and text search & extraction, for collaboration between team members.
