Actify's 3DView™
Adds Visualization Supports for Native Solid Edge™ Models.
San Francisco, CA --- September 8th, 1999
--- Actify's 3DView™ , the leading
native 3D CAD model viewer released support for Unigraphics Solutions'
Solid Edge. Actify customers can now view, measure and markup native
Solid Edge parts, assemblies and sheet metal files.
"Unigraphics Solutions has quickly established
Solid Edge as a leading CAD system." explains Mark Gisi, Actify's
vice president of marketing. "Given Actify's commitment to
supporting the most important native CAD file formats, along with
numerous requests for Solid Edge support from our customers, it
was clear that adding this format to 3DView was essential."
According to Dr. Cristiano Sacchi, Actify's corporate
technology officer, "End users are frustrated by the need to
translate native CAD files into an intermediate file format just
for the purpose of collaboration. Not only is the process costly
in terms of both time and money, but it is also error prone since
a translation can quickly become outdated."
"Solid Edge provides a free viewer which allows
non-Solid Edge users to view parts and assemblies," said Bill
McClure, director of the Solid Edge line of business at Unigraphics
Solutions. "Now our customers can enhance that with more advanced
viewing, measurement and markup capabilities. 3DView effectively
and affordably addresses that need. Actify's membership in our third-party
software Voyager Program provides a perfect example of how our joint
customers benefit from flexible and powerful engineering solutions."
Dr. Sacchi also notes, "3DView is unique because
it provides visualization of native CAD data for numerous systems.
Given 3DView's leading position in native model viewing, enabling
different professionals the ability to view and analyze native Solid
Edge parts and assemblies directly is very important."
