PTC Creo View MCAD - Subscription

• Accelerate the Design Process
• Accelerate design reviews that occur throughout the product development process with one standard tool for a variety of formats.
• Involve anyone across the world in the design process, from simple desktop viewing of drawings to interacting with digital mock ups with over one million parts.
• Improve Efficiency
• Efficiently share large volumes of digital product content from multiple sources through superior integration with Windchill®, Creo©, Pro/ENGINEER®, all leading MCAD and ECAD applications, and over 200 other formats and document types.
• Enable engineers to easily share visual information across the enterprise, while still controlling what users can accurately interrogate and measure.
• Increase Control and Security
• Securely manage critical business documents (both drawings and 2D documents) when collaborating on projects both within and beyond the enterprise.
• Reduce IT Overhead and Infrastructure
• Lower the cost associated with software maintenance, product upgrades, and internal training by deploying a single tool to view many types of formats across the enterprise
• Eliminate data interoperability issues, lower overhead, and raise productivity.

Key Features

Simple and Powerful Viewer

• Instantly familiar, task-based user interface with undo/redo capabilities
• Supports a wide variety of 3D model and 2D drawing source formats, including Creo© 3D Drawings, Pro/ENGINEER®, CGM, HPGL, DXF, DWF, DWG, and PDF.
• Supports STEP AP203 and AP214 standards for exchange of product structure and geometry information
• View and interrogate PMI–Product Manufacturing Information– including GD&T (Geometric Dimension & Tolerance) information
• Supports (with optional adapters) all major MCAD formats, including: CADDS5®, CATIA® V4, CATIA® V5, Unigraphics®, I-DEAS®, SolidWorks®, Microstation® (DGN), and Autodesk® Inventor™
• Easily create smart exploded product views
• Incorporate related content, such as meta-data and annotations to provide immediate reference information to the viewer
• Accurately measure from B-REP geometry

Effectively Collaborate and Markup

• Full set of markup tools for 3D models, 2D drawings, images and documents
• Manage multiple markups and distribute markups across the extended enterprise
• Check markups back into Windchill® or other Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems and associate with the source file for reference
• Accurately measure, section, compare and collaborate on centrally organized digital product information including 3D models, assemble parts and complex product structure
• Cut, measure, mark up and manipulate sections in real-time

Filter Visual Information

• Rich product queries can utilize spatial locations to reduce the amount of information required to locate components within a 3D model.
• Query based on product attributes such as material or color
• Query based on positional location (e.g., find parts that are within 10mm of a position or specific part)
• Search for product properties or components based on multiple criteria
• Perform color-coded searches by attribute or spatial location
• In-graphics assembly, navigation and selection
• Interactive graphical definition of search volumes
