CADlook Viewer is a light-weight, cost-effective tool to visualize/ inspect CAD files in national/ international standard formats without the heavy-duty CAD systems. It handles the idiosyncrasy of files from various systems with unrivalled robustness.
Load multiple CAD files
You can load a mixture of multiple IGES/ STEP/ VDA/ SAT/ X_T/ NC files into one session. This allows you to put together multiple components/ parts and then write them into one IGES/ STEP/ VDA/ SAT/ X_T/ VRML/ STL file. You can also load multiple versions of the same model and visually inspect the differences.
Exact Geometry Measurement/Dimension
Find the closest points to faces, edges and to your whole model. Measure geometry coordinates, distances, angles, curve/edge lengths, radii, centers, curvatures, radius of curvatures, area, volume, centroid, moments of inertia. Linear, angular, and radius dimensions can be added to your model and written out to IGES/VRML files. All measurements and dimensions are exact values from file geometry, not on polygonized geometry as many other viewers do.
Geometry comprehension
Among other visualization aids, CADlook Viewer allows you to selectively blank out parts or faces of a part for you to inspect the inside of a complex part. A cutting plane is also provided for the same purpose. With a click of a button, you can also assign a random color to each of the entities and faces of the entities.
Handle assemblies
CADlook Viewer can read in IGES/STEP/X_T files containing assemblies. IGES assembly files with external file references are handled. CADlook Viewer provides a hierarchical display of an assembly when the STEP file contains assemblies. You can copy/ instantiate a component of an assembly.
Cross-sectioning
CADlook Viewer allows you to create cross-sections and write cross-sections as point lists or spline curves to VRML, IGES files (a translator license is required for writing IGES files). These points and curves are exactly on your CAD geometry, not just on polygonized geometry as many other viewers.
Identify entities in IGES/ STEP/ VDA/ X_T/ SAT files
CADlook Viewer allows you to interactively query for the CAD file ID of an entity showing on screen. You can also identify the entity on screen by entering the entity ID in CAD file. This provides valuable information for diagnosis when your CAD systems fail to import a file.
Selectively write to IGES/ STEP/ SAT/ X_T/ VRML files
You can interactively select individual entities to write to a file, and you may select a set of entities to write. You may select only to write a drawing, a view, some groups, or you may select to write only curves, surfaces, or solids. This allows you to conveniently separate components from one input file into different files. For files containing both construction geometry and parts, you can easily extract a part to put into a file. The loading and writing provides a very flexible translator for you.
