Lattice Technology has just released a new version of their 3D modeling suite, XVL. It’s being distributed to customers with maintenance contracts this week. There are some pretty amazing features in this release:
- Geometry Difference Detection – detection of geometry differences so that changes in models are easily tracked
- Export of Assembly Animations to AVI format – the animations portraying assembly and disassembly are now easily exported to the popular AVI format
- Authoring Process Steps in Process Design and Documentation – any documentation can now be directly associated with model elements
- Path Authoring in Process Design and Documentation – more realistic simulations of an assembly of a product for planning and training
- Support for XVL v10 – Even more highly compressed model files
- Export of 2D Illustrations as 2D vectors and CGM formats – much smoother curves, editable in other 2D drawing systems
- Measurement of parts in Animations for Process Design – allows precise measurements of clearances during simulations of assembly
And there’s much more.
