With a quick search, Seemage 4.2 users can easily zero in on the exact information they are looking for.
Seemage has released Seemage 4.2, designed for producing product documentation and service procedures directly from any 3D CAD system.
Seemage 4.2 includes automatic regeneration of downstream deliverables.
Without the need for any additional servers Seemage 4.2 now automatically regenerates all product documentation whenever the digital product definition changes.
By eliminating requirements for additional servers and integrating easily with PLM systems, Seemage 4.2 offers automation and performance without the headaches of additional servers and system changes.
The ProductGrabber capability decreases the costs and effort to create and publish product configurations.
For example, manufacturers can easily produce unlimited product variations by simply combining Seemage-saved configurations.
Seemage is well-known for its performance in managing models with tens of thousands of parts.
Now, that performance is extended to search in all Seemage authoring and viewing tools, including the free Seemage Player.
With a quick search, users can easily zero in on the exact information they are looking for.
Seemage 4.2 and Tech Illustrator now deliver the industry's most comprehensive system for producing illustrations that comply with important 2D commercial and governmental standards like S1000D, ATA iSPEC 2200 and webCGM 2.0.
Users can easily transfer Seemage-created 2D content directly into Tech Illustrator format to assure standards compliance.
In Seemage 4.2, bill-of-material (BOM) information dynamically changes based on the active product definition.
For example, with BOM fidelity, the assembler of a product has access to what components have been used, what components are being used in the current assembly step and what components remain to be completed.
"Seemage 4.2 is a major step forward in the product's evolution", said Eric Piccuezzu, Executive Vice President and co-founder, Seemage.
"Unlike competitive server-based solutions, our open XML-based architecture provides desktop productivity without forcing complex IT infrastructure".
The Seemage 4.2 system consists of Seemage Viz, Seemage Mockup and Seemage Publisher for creating product content from 3D CAD models.
Seemage Player is freely distributable and offers users the ability to go beyond simple viewing.
Seemage 4.2 also includes Seemage Secure3D for security, Seemage Rights Manager for access control, Seemage Importers for data import, Seemage Sync for data synchronisation and Seemage Clash for interference checking.
Seemage 4.2 is available directly from Seemage and from Seemage's worldwide network of distribution partners.
