Geometric
Software Solutions (NSE: GEOMETRIC), a leader in product
lifecycle management (PLM) services and technologies,
today announced that it will extend the support of eDrawings
to Solid
Edge® software. This announcement is made in
concert with Geometric joining the Solid Edge Voyager
Partner program. Currently, eDrawings communication
software supports AutoCAD®,
CATIA®
V5, UG
17, 18 and NX®, Autodesk
Inventor, Pro/ENGINEER®,
Pro/ENGINEER
Wildfire®, and SolidWorks® software.
eDrawings is
the first email enabled communication tool that enables
the sharing of 2D and 3D computer aided design (CAD)
data. Unlike CAD files, eDrawings files are compact
and easy to email. Typically, an eDrawings file is 95%
smaller than the original CAD file. Unlike other formats
such as PDF and TIF, eDrawings is highly interactive,
allowing recipients to work on their designs in 3D.
With the eDrawings
Professional version, users can:
- Share product designs with review-enabled eDrawings
and collaborate with their extended teams
- Receive feedback on product design data from an
unlimited number of recipients
- Manage, track, and merge comments from different
team members
- Provide anyone with access to design data with self-extracting
eDrawings
- Examine internal details of parts and assemblies
with dynamic cross sectioning
- Measure the geometry in part, assembly, and drawing
files when dimensions are absent
- Disable the measurement feature to protect sensitive
design data
"eDrawings is
rapidly becoming the standard for 3D communication and
collaboration," said Pramod Rao, business head
for visualization and collaboration products with Geometric.
"To date, eDrawings supports all major CAD
platforms and the product's recent availability for
Solid Edge further demonstrates eDrawings' leadership
in the 3D communication and viewing market. Solid Edge
users can now reap the benefit from eDrawings' easy
to use 3D communication capabilities."
"We are pleased
that Geometric has recognized Solid Edge as among the
elite products in the CAD industry," said Mark
Davies, manager of the Solid Edge Voyager Program.
"eDrawings will nicely complement Solid
Edge's already strong series of collaborative solutions
for designers and will help to further expedite communication
throughout organizations and their supply chain. By
extending their support for eDrawings to Solid Edge
and joining the Solid Edge Voyager Program, Geometric
offers the Solid Edge community another solution to
address communication issues. "
eDrawings for
Solid Edge will be available through Geometric's worldwide
reseller channel spanning 25 countries, and via the
company's web site at www.geometricsoftware.com. The
product is planned for launch in the first quarter of
2005.
