We added a video to our YouTube channel, showing some of the 3DViewStation V2014.2 news: watch english video here

We have done a new 3DViewStation version V2014.1 with a series of enhancements, described below. The new version is available for download now. Impressions see here. Fileformats:

• import of Catia 2D drawings (as is)
• import of Inventor BREP

Features:

• 30 days trial mode for evaluation (without license file)

• default reading mode: "prefer geometry" instead of "prefer tesselation"
• last release supporting Windows XP

Did you know: The Kisters 3DViewStation contains more than 160 converters: i.e. Catia to STEP, NX to 3D-PDF, STEP to Parasolid, JT to 3D-PDF, Creo / ProE to VRML… 3DViewStation reads more than 20 3D-CAD fileformats and allows to tranlsate them into 8 export fileformats.

A questions rised, how to interoperate with 3DViewStation V10 and Adobe Reader. The following video provides a small demo.
First of all we do open a native CAD or even 3D-PDF-assembly in 3DViewStation. Then we apply a few dimensions, annotations and balloons and save the result as 3D-PDF. We then add another markup using Adobe Reader.
