Collaboration solution adds EDA support
There are many significant new additions in AutoVue 17.1, including new format support and new EDA features and functionality for the electronics and high-tech markets.

As the leading multiformat viewer on the market, AutoVue consistently supports the latest design formats in a timely manner".
The AutoCAD 2005 format is backwards compatible with AutoCAD 2004 (previously supported by AutoVue), but also includes some new entities.
A new format, "Sheet Set Files" (.dst), was also introduced with AutoCAD 2005.
In the latest service pack, AutoVue provides full support for the DST format and all new entities.
The service pack also adds support for the following formats: Cadence Specctra 14 and 15; CoCreate's ME10 version 12; PADS PowerLogic; Protel Schematics 98, 99, 99SE; Solid Edge 15; Visio 2003; and other enhancements.
AutoVue provides a single point of access and common user interface allowing users to view and markup over 450 different formats.
Formats include: 3D CAD parts and assemblies, 2D CAD drawings, PCB/IC layouts and schematics, raster, vector, hybrid and office documents.
AutoVue is available as a desktop Windows application and as a thin-client, server based solution for Windows or Unix servers.
