We have done a new 3DViewStation WebViewer version V2016 with a series of enhancements, described below. The new version can be tested online.

Fileformats:

• New: ST8
• New: SolidWorks 2016
• New: STEP AP 242 XML

Functions: 

• Enhanced: significantly faster rendering of large models: loadtime as 3DVS 50% reduced
• Enhanced: significantly reduced memory consumption: memory consuption reduced by 60%-70%
• Enhanced: significantly reduced 3DVS file size: by 20% -30%
• Enhanced: Client & server negotiate image / video parameters
• New: preview when creating coordinate systems
• New: preview when creating angle dimensions
• New: multi-thread rendering
• New: XML-API, for all 3DViewStation product flavours: Desktop + ActiveX + WebViewer
• New: possibility to share floating licenses between Desktop & WebViewer

We have done a new 3DViewStation Desktop version V2016 with a series of enhancements, described below. The new version is available for download now.

Fileformats:

• New: ST8
• New: SolidWorks 2016
• New: STEP AP 242 XML
• Font substitution for DXF, DWG, DGN

Functions:

• New: preview when creating coordinate systems
• New: preview when creating angle dimensions
• New: auto section after coordinate system creation, i.e. in center of drilling
• Enhanced: point measurement during section
• New: multi-thread rendering
• Enhanced: significantly faster rendering of large models: loadtime as 3DVS 50% reduced
• Enhanced: significantly reduced memory consumption: memory consuption reduced by 60%-70%
• Enhanced: significantly reduced 3DVS file size: by 20% -30%
• New: XML-API, for all 3DViewStation product flavours: Desktop + ActiveX + WebViewer
• New: possibility to share floating licenses between Desktop & WebViewer

3DViewStation v2016 will be released soon. Although 3DViewStation has been fast already, we did significant improvements again: reducing load times of about 50%, reducing files size as 3DVS by 20%-30%, reducing memory consumption by 60%-70%, making overall handling of large assemblies easier on less powerful devices..
