  3. Our Company • Cimmetry Systems was founded in 1988 • Cimmetry Systems focuses on delivering native Visualization & Collaboration technology for: • 2D CAD & Engineering Formats • 3D CAD & Solid Modeling Formats • Electronic Design(EDA) Formats • Office/Desktop Document Formats • Our products are distributed worldwide • Our products are available in multiple languages for Multiple Platforms • “We Listen” - Enhancements are driven by customer and partner consensus

  4. Differentiators • We provide a reliable & secure single point of access to over 200 2D/3D CAD, EDA, raster, vector, hybrid & office document formats • All viewing is native, i.e. no file conversion required • We ensure reliable access by constantly updating file format support • We deliver both Windows Desktop and Thin-client, server based solutions • AutoVue delivers both Asynchronous and Real-Time Collaborative capabilities over the Internet or any network • We provide a robust set of APIs for flexible integration • Technology is developed in-house • Comprehensive and responsive customer support

  5. Our Products • AutoVue: View, print 2D CAD, raster, vector, office document file formats • AutoVue Professional: AutoVue plus markup plus real-time collaboration • AutoVue SolidModel: AutoVue plus support for 3D CAD & EDA • AutoVue SolidModel Pro: AutoVue SolidModel plus 2D/3D markup plus real-time collaboration • VueLink: Cimmetry’s out-of-the-box integrations with DM, PLM, ERP, ASP…

  6. AutoVue AutoVue provides View & Print functionality for over 200 native formats (requires no conversion) The largest offering of file formats including AutoCAD, MicroStation, HPGL, PDF, TIFF, Visio, Word, Excel… • Document compare • Measurement • Batch printing • Printing with stamps, watermarks, headers & footers • Search/Find for text • Special view modes • Bird’s Eye, Spyglass, Instant Zoom

  7. AutoVue Pro • AutoVue Professional adds Markup functionality for all formats supported in AutoVue. The thin-client version provides real-time collaboration over the Internet or any network. • Markup functions include: • Geometric shapes • Text • Sticky Notes • Symbols libraries • Hyperlinking • User Defined Entities

  8. AutoVue SolidModel • AutoVue plus support for 3D CAD Parts/Assemblies & EDALayouts/Schematics • CATIA, UG, Pro/E, JT, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, Inventor, Mechanical Desktop, SolidDesigner, IGES, STEP, STL, VRML … • Cadence Allegro, Mentor Board Station, Orcad, PCAD • 3D Viewing Features • Dynamic 3D manipulations • Flexible sectioning/cut-through • Transparencies • Easy assembly view of model data • Transform & explode of assemblies • Import models from different CAD systems • Precise measurement • Linear and angular measurements • Mass and volumetric properties • Surface area, Edge length, Min distance

  9. AutoVue SolidModel Pro • AutoVue SolidModel plus 2D/3D Markup • The thin-client version provides real-time collaboration over the Internet or any network. • Markup entities are affixed three dimensionally and are spun, rotated with the model • Text and sticky-notes • Dimension markups (Linear, Arc, Angular, Vertex Coordinates) • Anchored to entity

  10. VueLinks • VueLinks are Cimmetry’s custom, off-the-shelf integrations with popular Document Management, PLM, ERP systems. • Provide the ability to retrieve and display docs held in a repository, including component parts of compound documents • Provide a mechanism to save, track and manage markup files in the repository • Provide enhanced markup functionality for ECOs and design changes. • Enable ISO stamping of documents with attributes within a workflow • Provide extended printing capabilities • Provide the ability for markup files to be compatible with versioning of documents

  11. Integrations/Interfaces • AutoVue has been integrated with the leading EDM, PDM, PLM, ERP systems, including:

  12. AutoVue Thin-Client AutoVue software is available as a standalone, desktop application or a Thin–Client, Server Based Solution • AutoVue client runs on MSIE & Netscape - Windows, Unix & Mac • AutoVue thin-client is not a cut-down version, but contains all functionality and format support of the desktop version. AutoVue thin-client is FAST. • Advanced rendering & streaming algorithms for best performance under a variety of conditions ensure fast document access. AutoVue is SCALEABLE and FAULT TOLERANT • Multi-CPU enabled, scaleable, server load-balanced & fault tolerant. AutoVue is SECURE • Original docs are never sent to the client, only graphical streamed representations. • Streamed data is kept in memory, never saved as a file, so only legitimate users can view the documents. • AutoVue adheres to all the security and permissions built into the integrated EDM or PDM system.

  13. AutoVue - Real-Time Collaboration AutoVue Real-Time Collaboration is: Meeting Control, Co-Viewing, Co-Markup, Chat and Audit Trail • Inspect designs, share information & ideas, solve problems, coordinate activities and assign action items, all in real-time. • Interactively view, manipulate, and mark up native documents in real-time over an optimized connection with speedy updating of displayed data. • Accept input and markups from other users, without passing session control between contributors. • Be individually identified by the system, have a color assigned to each contributor for creating markups. • Use the chat box to communicate textually as an alternative to voice and to sign off on ECRs, ECOs and other decisions. • Create an audit trail: A transcript is saved at session’s end, recording the participants, their contributions and all discussions, issues, decisions and action items.

  14. AutoVue Thin-Client - Architecture • Over slow connections, rendering is done using intelligent raster tiles, and most processing is done on the server so that only the on-screen region of the document is sent to the client when zooming and panning. • Over faster connections, interruptible vector metafiles are sent to the client. Display begins immediately, rendering the drawing as the streamed data arrives. • Display can be interrupted at any time to view another drawing. jVue Server jVue Client Display Requests and Info Decoder 3D Files Progressive Display List Size: 100% Size: 1% Cache Size: 10%

  15. Benefits & ROI • Better access to information for improved decision making • Provides comfortable access of technical information to non-technical people • Shortened design cycles & accelerated review cycles • Improved accuracy in product quality & reduction in design errors • Quicker time to market • Reduced investment in software licenses • Reduction in training costs due to ease of use and reduced set of software used • Reduction in paper, ink and courier costs AutoVue provides tremendous: • Gains in productivity and competitiveness • Reductions & savings in time and costs
