XVL is an ultra-compressed technology used to dramatically reduce the file size of 3D models created in an engineering CAD system without losing their fidelity.
XVL Player provides an easy means for nonCAD operators to view and explore 3D models from any PC.
The measurement, cross-sectioning and advanced viewing features are now included free in XVL Player 9.
These functions allow users not just to view models, but also add information commonly used in the downstream processes of manufacturers.
In addition to the viewing features, users can create dimensions and profiles for 3D objects or view previously defined snapshots and positions or set its properties to refer to other documents.
With the 9.1 release additional free features will be added, including animation controls to play process animations.
Users can now employ the free viewer to handle a wider variety of post-design processing tasks.
Examples include the testing of an assembly's feasibility in a manufacturing technology division, or the confirmation of part dimensions for a customer quote in a procurement division.
Both tasks can be accomplished through the viewer, eliminating the need for a CAD operator to make changes or look up information.
