Rasterex Releases RxView & RxHighlight R10

By DE Editors

RxView from Rasterex Software (Oslo, Norway)  allows users to view and print more than 250 different file formats (CAD drawings, 3D CAD models, plot-files, PDFs, Office documents, raster images, and scanned drawings) without the design software installed on the machine.

Version R10 is built on the intuitive user interface of Microsoft Office 2007, since AutoCAD 2009 is also built on that new ribbon interface.

A second offering from Rasterex is RxHighlight, which, via the license, opens up advanced functions like redlining, markup, conversion, batch processes, text search and extraction for collaboration between team members. RxHighlight offers markup functions like stamps, redlines, sticky notes, markup history,  engineering symbols, and more.

Version R9.2 is a parallel option for users who are still most familiar with the XP style. The same filter and feature updates as in R10, but still running with the XP/Office 2003 interface. Both R10 and R9.2 can run under Vista and XP, as well as older version of Windows. RxView R9.2 is a parallel option for XP-style users.

Updated 3D formats (licensed separately as optional): SolidWorks 2008 support, Inventor 2009 support, and Pro/E Wildfire 3.0 support.

New features and enhancements in R10 and R9.2 include autopan added during measurement as an option; line width or line weight now shown in entity info;  rotation slider is now disabled for document formats; timeout feature added.

Application now terminates after two hours (configurable, and can be disabled); “Send as PDF” now includes option to send all pages; markup list now contains both date and time in one field; added option for CGM filter: disable marker drawing; license information removed from registry if trial period expires (Application Exit); 10 feature fixes and 17 component fixes implemented; 32 fixes for file format readers: AutoCAD, CGM, MicroStation, DWF, ME10, PDF, and MS Word.

New users can download and try the software for free on the download page from Rasterex.
