| VB-View™
97:
VB-View
is the graphical link to the documents stored in VisualBASE.
VB-View supports a wide variety of formats, ranging
from AutoCAD DWG, Microstation DGN, CALS compatible scanned
drawings to popular raster image formats like TIFF, GIF, TGA
and industry standard office formats like Microsoft Word and
Excel, WordPerfect, and Lotus. Also viewable are transfer
formats like DXF, plot files like HPGL HPGL2, Calcomp, Postscript,
and many other emerging standards.
VB-View
offers fast and easy zoom and pan features using a bird's
eye, and allows you to manipulate and compare files with File
Overlay and File Compare functions. An easy-to-use network
tool governs access control through user profiles, building
levels of security for your network. In addition to all of
these features, VB-View allows you to create multi-layer
redlining and commenting without altering the original files.
This means that different users working on the same drawings
can communicate change requests, revision notes, and reference
comments, all with a comprehensive toolbox. With document
hyperlinking, a completely separate document can be embedded
to become a permanently linked record -- keep track of and
jump to drawing revisions or component drawings easily!

| VB-Edit:
VB-Edit
is an advanced interactive raster/vector editor and raster-to-vector
conversion module. VB-Edit provides CAD functionality on raster
images. Among the advanced functions are calibration, warping,
cropping, de-skewing, erasing and filtering functions such
as de-speckling, hole-filling, thickening, thinning, etc.,
on the whole image or selected area (regular or irregular).
VB-Edit includes an object recognition engine that automatically
recognizes selected lines, arcs, circles and hatch patterns.
The raster tracing tool provides line following for semi-automatic
raster to vector conversion. VB-Edit offers rubbersheeting,
search-and-replace of raster objects, automatic vector correction,
save and load vectors, and more.
Using
the editing tools you can modify or draw lines, arcs, circles,
polypoints, polylines, texts, shapes, blocks, line styles
(dashed, dot-dashed, etc.) and arrowheads. Text can be added
and rotated to any angle using a wide range of fonts. The
block-editing function can be used to cut-and-paste irregular
shapes to and from the multi-page clipbook, which can be saved
and recalled from disc. The VB-Edit module can import scaled
vector files in DXF, DXB or VCT format into the drawing and
rasterize them - ideal for updating objects, drawing frames
and title blocks.

| VB-Convert:
VB-Convert
is a vector recognition software program that automatically
converts scanned raster images - drawings, drafts, charts,
etc. - into vector images. VB-Convert enables you to work
with old paper drawings in programs such as AutoCAD, Microstation,
CADdy, 3D Studio, Corel Draw, and others which support the
DXF (vector) file format. VB-Convert allows you to "translate"
old paper drawings and maps that have been scanned into your
computer as raster images, into vector data that can easily
be loaded into CAD, desktop publishing and multimedia systems.
