Spicer’s latest Imagenation edition offers viewing and markup capabilities for native 3D CAD models

April 12, 2002—With Spicer Corporation’s newly released 7.0 3D+ edition of its Imagenation software, diverse departments can exchange and work with over 150 file formats from virtually anywhere across an organization. Imagenation 7.0 3D+ provides a simple and cost-effective way to view, examine, and note changes on 3D models created in various design tools without the need to invest in the 3D authoring tools for each project team member’s desktop. Imagenation 7.0 3D+ also gives users view and markup capabilities for a multitude of documents that may be associated with the 3D model, such as a 2D drawing file, spreadsheets, bills of materials and Word documents.

With Imagenation’s multiple document capabilities, users can open many 2D documents and 3D models simultaneously in a tile, cascade, full window, or multi-page arrangement, and move from file to file while reviewing project documents. Imagenation’s 3D transformation and cross-sectioning tools incorporate ‘sticky settings’ and do not reset if a user opens a new file or clicks into a different window.

Imagenation 7.0 also adds new large-format scanner drivers as well as native file support for JPEG 2000 and LizardTech’s MrSID format. New save features include the capability to write single-page raster images to Adobe PDF and convert or export drawings and 2D markups to the versatile XML-based SVG format.
