Integrated 2D/3D View & Markup

OneView enables comprehensive review of all aspects of an engineering design from component to assembly to drawing. Distribution of data is seamless and native access ensures security, performance, and data integrity.

Leveraging Engineering Information

The importance of efficiently deploying engineering data across the enterprise, to suppliers, and to customers is becoming ever important in meeting time to market demands and keeping pace with competitive pressures in the market. While hardware and networking technology have advanced permitting higher performing applications and a connected enterprise, software technology has not kept pace - until now. Introducing OneView™ , the missing link in the broad deployment of engineering data.

Finally, in one application, engineering data can be accessed, shared, and used in its native format. Finally, Collaborative Product Commerce can be conducted in the manner in which it was intended - accessing native data, from an easy to use application, at a cost effective price.

OneView, from CAD Centric Systems, is the means by which companies can realize their vision of enterprise wide access of engineering information, streamline supplier interaction, and easily deploy data to manufacturing.

Native Data Access

OneView provides native access to CAD information requiring no conversion. This simplifies the process of deploying data, eliminates error prone data translation, reduces redundancy in data storage, and insures that the data meant to be shared is. Reading the data natively provides access to more information within the engineering database. This permits advanced data queries and precise analysis of geometric information stored in the CAD database.

In addition, when integrated with PDM systems, OneView eliminates the need to support multiple application viewers on the desktop. Finally, one application can be deployed to view all your engineering data - OneView.

Legacy Data Support

As in every engineering environment, native access to CAD data is only a small element of the data distribution problem. Access to data from archives of hand drawings stored in TIFF format, or legacy CAD data archived in HPGL often times represent a significant challenge to successful data distribution.

OneView supports TIFF, HPGL, and other generic formats, so incorporating legacy design data is as easy as viewing your present-day CAD information.

Dynamic Data Manipulation

Developed using standard Windows menuing practices provides users with an interface that is easy to use. 2D and 3D view manipulations are intuitive and use standard conventions for pans, zooms and view orientation. Users immediately feel comfortable with the application, making it appealing to more people, shortening the learning curve, and reducing training.

Entity Verification

In addition to drawing manipulation, users also have access to all of the entity and attribute information on the drawing or in the 3D model.

An advanced verification feature provides access to detailed information about each of the entities in the      database. Review capabilities include entity verification, the ability to measure geometric attributes (angles, lines, radii, and diameters), and others.

Interactive measurement is provided and supports the following capabilities:

• Length of entity or curve

• Point to point measurements

• Entity to entity measurements

• Point to entity measurements

In addition, an extensive entity filter is provided which allows for precise selection by end points, center points, arbitrary points, and other geometric locations.

OneView can be easily customized and integrated into the engineering process using the unique "POSM" trigger mechanisms, which are a standard part of the application. POSMs can be used to integrate OneView with PDM systems, ECO systems, ERP systems, and other engineering and manufacturing applications. Basic triggers are included for File Open, Markup Save, and others.

Integrated View and Markup

The drawing review and approval process can be greatly simplified using the integrated markup feature of OneView. Review and change notations can be easily added using standard text and markup capabilities, allowing users to make reference to specific portions of the drawing needing change or revision. Simple geometric features provide the ability to easily add graphic notations, highlight areas of concern, and markup the drawing. Graphic primitives such as lines, arrows, circles, and boxes, are all easily accessible through the standard Microsoft Windows interface.

Multi-user Support

Multi-user, multilayer red lining is also supported and includes the use of colors, names, and layers, which are defined by each user. During the review process, users have the ability to review the various notations of others, examining both information on the drawing and through the non-graphic attributes.

Standards Based

CAD Centric's applications, such as OneView, are well thought out and completely integrated with the Windows environment. They are based on industry standards in order that they may evolve and grow as technology advances. Because of this approach, future growth and flexibility are built in, insuring that new application features can be added quickly and easily.

The result is an application with broad data accessibility; that's user friendly and easy to use; and can grow with technology and user needs.
