JT2Go and JT Documents extend the value of JT to an ever-widening audience.
The extra capabilities now available in JT2Go-JT Open Edition offer an added benefit to the growing membership of the JT Open Programme who had significant influence in the creation of JT2Go.
JT Open is a rapidly expanding initiative created by UGS and driven by global leaders to promote the development and proliferation of the JT format.
"The members of the JT Open Programme represent a highly influential collection of global organisations focused on the continual enhancement of collaboration and visualisation in the PLM industry", said Bruce Feldt, Vice President of Open Tools, UGS.
"The new JT2Go-JT Open Edition recognises the important role these organisations play in the promotion of the 3D JT format by providing all JT Open members with access to this valuable functionality".
The new JT Document capability in JT2Go enables users to view 3D JT data directly in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint or Excel documents with embedded JT2Go viewers.
Although the authoring of JT Documents is currently available only to JT Open Programme members, all users can view JT Documents once they have the new release of the JT2Go solution installed.
"Delivering rich 3D product data within the context of a business application is critical for true collaboration to occur", said Don Richardson, Director, Manufacturing Industry Unit at Microsoft Corp.
"Every individual associated with a product's lifecycle - whether they are an executive, administrative personnel, or a customer - can benefit from having safe and easy access to 3D product data embedded within familiar applications such as Microsoft Office or SharePoint Portal Server".
Additional functionality available as standard features in JT2Go-JT Open Edition includes basic 3D measurement and basic cross-section capabilities.
These inclusions represent a significant added value to reward the members of JT Open for their continued support and participation in the programme.
