What is ViewCompanion?

ViewCompanion Standard is a powerful application tailored for the viewing, printing, and converting of plotter files generated by CAD software or plotter drivers. It allows users to open PLT files in a range of formats such as HPGL, HP-GL/2, KIPGL, HP-RTL, and Calcomp. In addition to plotter files, this software also supports the viewing, printing, and conversion of various file types, including Adobe PDF, CGM, Autodesk DWF, and Gerber formats. One of the standout features of ViewCompanion is its ability to convert files into multiple other formats, significantly increasing its versatility. Users benefit from precise measurement tools that facilitate accurate distance and area calculations, including a snap-to-drawing-geometry feature for enhanced precision. If the drawings are not displayed at a 1:1 scale, these measurement tools can be adjusted for accurate outcomes. Furthermore, ViewCompanion allows users to augment their files with annotations, integrating a variety of markup elements such as stamps, revision clouds, text notes, dimension lines, area measurements, barcodes, symbols, and images. This capability not only enhances the documentation process but also improves the overall functionality and usability of the application. The extensive array of features provided by ViewCompanion makes it an essential resource for professionals engaged in handling complex design files, ensuring they can work efficiently and effectively.

Moreover, users of SolidView can edit and save SVD files, enhancing collaborative efforts. At the heart of the suite is SolidView/Pro, which is distinguished by its ability to open native CAD files without the need for expensive CAD software, requiring only the necessary interfaces for commonly used CAD applications. In addition, SolidView/Pro includes capabilities such as translation, scaling, rotation, mirroring, copying, and combining 3D data, as well as performing complex measurements. Users can publish SVD files that are compatible with SolidView and SolidView/Lite, and mold analysis functionalities are also included.

This extensive array of tools positions SolidView/Pro as an essential resource for professionals engaged in CAD file management and manipulation. Overall, its versatility and affordability make it an attractive option for those looking to streamline their design processes.
