Project Management Software Systems • Collaboration - Conferencing • Requirements: • Hold online meetings • Conduct online design review sessions • Perform a project presentation • Benefits: • Reduce travel • Showing your CAD designs live • Accelerating decision making • Improving internal and external relationships • Shortening project development cycles
Project Management Software Systems • Collaboration – Model Viewer The mechanical CAD Viewer utilises powerful file compression technology to reduce huge CAD files to a manageable size that can be easily sent over the Internet. Using a Viewer users can view, mark-up and measure CAD files without having the CAD system installed. Many file 2D and 3D file formats are supported including Catia v4 & v5, Pro/E, Unigraphics, I-DEAS-Web Access, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Parasolid, Inventor, CADDS, XVL and Step.
