Digital Mockup (DMU) with 3DViewStation

Find a few impressions of typical Digital Mockup (DMU) functions of Kisters 3DViewStation. Yes, we allow to load CAD data from various sources, which we call MultiCAD-DMU. But we do also do all these kind of analysis like clash, clearance (distance band), wall thickness, draft angle, undercut, split, convex hull, neutral fiber calculation and more...

PreView v2020: 2D Font substitution table

2D drawings may contain a set of fonts, which are typically not included with the drawing file, but which need to be installed on the local system in order to render the drawing correctly. So far we allowed to substitute all fonts by a configurable single one. 3DViewStation now will prompt, if one or several fonts could not be found and allows to maintain a font substitution table, assigning different fonts to each one, which could not be found.

PreView v2020: merge objects evolution

Sometimes it is convenient to merge several objects into a single one, which will reduce the number of nodes. This might simplify the future processing of an assembly, re-selecting a group of objects instead of just the clicked one, less nodes for clash...We now added a new option, which allows to select several subassemblies inside the structure tree and will merge each sub-tree to a single object.

PreView v2020: new UI color schemes

We will introduce new, fresh color schemes with the upcoming 3DViewStation v2020. Please get some impressions.
