MONTREAL, Quebec, Canada – Cimmetry Systems has introduced AutoVue 3D Pro SME, the latest addition to Cimmetry's AutoVue family of visualization solutions, targeting the small and medium sized enterprise (SME) market.

According to a news release, strong demand for Cimmetry's native viewing technology has created the need to recognize the special requirements of small and medium sized enterprises and their tendency to work with the lower priced, mid-range 3D CAD packages. AutoVue 3D Pro SME is said to provide users of mid-range 3D CAD packages, such as SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD Mechanical and Solid Edge, with the freedom to choose their authoring tools and still work with different mid-range 3D formats from partners, customers or suppliers.

AutoVue 3D Pro SME reportedly features powerful native document viewing, markup, printing, stamping and collaboration capabilities for the leading mid-range 3D CAD packages, as well as leading 2D CAD tools, providing users with the ability to quickly view documents without requiring authoring applications or undergoing costly and error prone file conversions with publishing systems.

Customers that require the ability to view the higher-end 3D CAD packages, such as CATIA, NX or Pro/Engineer, may upgrade to the AutoVue SolidModel Pro product.
