Section, transparency, bounding box with overall
dimensions and other new features for advanced work with 3D files
After many days of hard work, we are delighted to
present you a new version of ABViewer 14.
This new version is a major step forward in making our software more
powerful and efficient to work with 3D files.
3D section
The new version of ABViewer has a dynamic section
tool. With its help you may create a section view of a 3D model, see
its hidden elements and measure them when necessary. Sections do not
modify geometry and are fully customizable. You can add one or more
section planes and adjust their position either by moving arrows, or
by entering numeric values into the provided fields. Changes are
applied immediately.
Enhanced user interface with new features
We revamped the ABViewer interface so that your
interacting with 3D models will become more intuitive and
convenient. Apart from that, we added new visualization tools and
commands:
Transparency.
Adjust how transparent the selected object should be and see its
inner structure and hidden elements.
Edges. Show
or hide edges of a 3D model.
Anti-aliasing.
Turn on anti-aliasing in 3D modes. It improves image quality by
making jagged lines and borders look smoother, i.e. removes the
staircase effect.
STEP/IGES converter.
Convert STEP files to IGES file format and vice versa.
Hidden lines.
Display a 3D model as wireframe, all other lines will be hidden.
Bounding box.
Show a 3D model bounding box and its overall dimensions.
Other improvements
However, ABViewer 14 does not only focus on 3D
enhancements. Here is a list of other improvements:
- Optimized reading and saving of DWG and DXF
files;
- Optimized batch conversion of files;
- Added export to AutoCAD DWG 2010;
- Added saving to raster PDF files;
- Added saving of fonts to PDF file;
- Added object layer map allowing to
automatically adjust distribution of entities by layers;
- Added snap mode in inserts;
- Added a new mode of grid displaying;
- Improved comparison of DWG and DXF files: new
comparison settings and capability to print out results of
comparison;
- Improved G-code generation from DWG and DXF
files.
