What does the CAD Viewer do?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The SPI CAD Viewer<\/strong> is an application for quick viewing of GEO- and WiCAM XML files<\/span>. It can be used as a stand-alone tool or as a viewer within the CAD environment. Thus there is no need to install a CAD program.<\/p>\n

The CAD Viewer is an ideal tool for viewing data during design, work preparation, and even sales. It can also be connected to an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, for example, to provide a preview of the most important information directly in the ERP software.<\/p>\n

What does the CAD Viewer show me?<\/h5>

The display can be configured to show outer and inner contours, bend lines, bending zones, markers, tool IDs, and machining patterns.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Can I configure the display myself?<\/h5>

The properties of the file information, the bending information, and the tool information are easily configurable. Simple switch settings allow the display of bending lines, bending zones, and coordinate system to be turned on and off. You decide what is displayed when and how.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
What additional information is available?<\/h5>

File information provides an overview of non-graphical parameters such as the number of parts, number of contours, sheet thickness, rotation, material, machine, customer, date of creation, drawing designation, and drawing number. What more do you need.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Is it possible to output data also in other formats?<\/h5>

The flat pattern and file information can be directly sent to a printer or downloaded as a PDF or PNG file.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
