Spatial Inc. Announces Direct Pro/ENGINEER and CATIA File Format Support for IntraVISIONBOULDER, Colo, Jan. 19, 2000 - IntraVISION, the leading CAD viewing solution, expands range of 3D CAD file viewing, markup, measurement, and conversion for enterprise-wide engineering data accessSpatial Inc. (AMEX:STY), the world's leading developer of 3D modeling technology and interoperability solutions, announces the upcoming release of IntraVISION(R)'s support of Pro/ENGINEER(R), from Parametric Technology Corporation (Nasdaq: PMTC), and CATIA(R), from Dassault Systemes S.A. (Nasdaq: DASTY), 3D CAD file formats. IntraVISION, the leading enterprise-wide viewing solution for Windows(R) and UNIX, supports more than 300 file formats, including all major 3D CAD systems, and enterprise and product document information, such as Microsoft(R) Word, Excel, and PowerPoint(R). IntraVISION allows all members in an enterprise to view, markup, measure, and convert 2D and 3D product data without requiring the installation of native software applications. This is especially important in engineering and manufacturing organizations where all product data needs to be accessible worldwide, without requiring expensive CAD seats and training. "IntraVISION is already a world-class product," said Bill Turcotte, Vice President, Enterprise Products, Spatial Inc. "Providing direct, reliable viewing, markup, measurement, and conversion of Pro/E and CATIA models enhances IntraVISION's market leadership and emphasizes the fact that IntraVISION supports the greatest number and widest range of file formats and hardware platforms in the viewing solution market." "This is a needed functionality," commented Robb McCord, a CAD/CAM data exchange engineer at Northrop Grumman Corporation's Electronic Sensors and Systems Sector. "I need to view CATIA and Pro/Engineer models before they are translated into our CAD systems. Therefore I looked at the early beta version of this product and was surprised how well it viewed some very complicated CATIA models. Spatial is addressing a real-world need for intra-system interoperability and functionality for the heterogeneous enterprise." IntraVISION is available as an integrated viewing component for PDM, EDM, CAD, ERP, shop floor, and MES solutions; or as a stand-alone application. With IntraVISION, users can view, markup, measure, and convert raster files, documents, drawings, 3D CAD/CAM models, configuration data, assemblies, and part files - without requiring native applications. These features provide key benefits to users in product design and manufacturing by allowing them to collaborate on designs, review models and drawings for dimensional accuracy, and support concurrent product development processes. The inclusion of Pro/E and CATIA format file viewing is a sophisticated feature which meets the developing needs of manufacturers and engineers who rely on interoperability of data for streamlining of processes. IntraVISION users will now have access to Pro/E Version 18-20 and 2000i, and CATIA Version 4.x models and assemblies (including product structure data). These exciting new capabilities will be available as add-on Direct CAD Modules to both Full and Lite versions of IntraVISION. Beta versions of the Direct CAD Modules are now available for evaluation. Pricing for the modules will start at $395 per seat. More information on the product can be found at http://www.spatial.com, or by calling Interoperability Sales at +303-544-2900 or by emailing interopsales@spatial.com. Spatial also offers an OEM-enabled version of IntraVISION: IntraVISION Software Developer's Kit (IVSDK). IVSDK provides software developers with the ability to embed multi-format viewing, markup, measurement, and conversion functionality in software applications; build their own viewer; create an Internet viewer plug-in; or even add support for their proprietary file formats.
