CADbro 2021 Released for Better Collaboration on 3D Models
September 23, 2020 | Business WireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
ZWSOFT released CADbro 2021, an easy-to-use 3D CAD viewer for whoever needs to collaborate on engineering data, especially salespeople, technicians, quality controllers, designers, etc.
Import More Information in Less Time
Thanks to the upgraded translator of CADbro, users can import more versions of files, such as CATIA® V5-6R2020, Creo® 6.0, Inventor® V2020, and NX® 1899, and access their part attributes, for example, material.
Besides, the Quick Import command loads the display data and the geometric data for measuring or basic editing in a shorter time.
Modify and Collaborate on 3D Models Easily
When modifying the 3D model in the desktop app, users can easily find the command needed with the new Command Search function.
Plus, Datum CYSY and axes that facilitate the measurement of objects can be created. Datum axes are especially useful when the axis of a particular model is not in line with any default coordinate indicator.
To ensure a safe and reasonable assembly design, users can check the minimum distance between components with the new Clearance Check function.
Users can also predefine the explode steps of the model and upload them together to the cloud. Afterwards, the exploded view can be examined according to the pre-defined steps on the web.
Share Smaller Files via QR Code
To make file sharing even easier and file opening even faster, users can now generate a QR code for the model file. Also, the size of .Z3DS files shrinks without any loss of quality.

Nolan’s Notes: Coming to Terms With AI
05/07/2024 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's NotesHow fast do things move in the world of data analytics? Here’s an example. We’ve been planning this issue on artificial intelligence for the past few months, and, in fact, I had already written this column about a month ago. Then I went to IPC APEX EXPO and upended it all. I originally had compared AI to drag racing in that (CPU) horsepower and new (data) vehicles have steadily delivered higher performance competition. That seemed pretty accurate given how generative AI models dominated the popular media with amazing results—and sometimes spectacular crashes.
