PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS 

DECview3D is Digital's customizable integration tool for CAD data viewing.  
It supports concurrent engineering concepts and CALS standards by enabling 
users of varying technical capacities and functions to access and review 
engineering designs in progress and to communicate changes or comments 
electronically.  DECview3D provides data translation from IGES, HPGL, and 
CalComp960 formats, full 3D wireframe graphics manipulation, markup and 
query of engineering data, and output in thirteen file formats.  

DECview3D Concurrent View and Edit (DECview3D CVE) is a high-performance, 
surprisingly affordable module layered on DECview3D for users to review 
engineering designs simultaneously between different sites. 

NEW IN V2.2

As part of the Open Advantage program, DECview3D V2.2 and the DECview3D CVE 
Module V2.2 now support Digital's RISC ULTRIX operating system.  For viewing 
data in a concurrent engineering environment, DECview3D is now integrated 
with EDCS II V2.2 product data manager; EDCS provides access control, 
version control, configuration management, an audit trail, automatic change 
notification, and review and release management.  In addition, DECview3D 
Concurrent View and Edit has been enhanced to support up to 32 simultaneous 
sessions.  And solicited field feedback has prompted us to introduce 
DECview3D for ULTRIX at only $2360 and CVE for ULTRIX at a mere $1180 U.S. 
List.

PRODUCT USAGE AND BENEFITS

DECview3D

Customers today realize significant benefits with DECview3D.  
Cross-functional teams review CAD designs electronically to prevent or 
expedite costly ECOs.  Subcontractors communicate via modem with 
geographically dispersed primes to display and discuss designs in progress. 
Service and maintenance manual writers integrate engineering graphics 
directly into DECwrite, DECpresent, or Interleaf.

DECview3D CVE

DECview3D Concurrent View and Edit expands these benefits by providing an 
efficient, less expensive means for people in different locations to discuss 
engineering designs together.  Users communicate on identical screens on 
different workstations issues associated with certain designs while 
discussing them verbally by telephone.  

Ultimately, both DECview3D and DECview3D CVE lead to improvements in design 
quality and manufacturing time, as well as lower development costs.

POSITIONING

DECview3D is a CAD data viewer, NOT a CAD package, although its capabilities 
extend the proliferation of CAD data to users who, because of prohibitive 
cost or functionality "overkill," would otherwise not have access to CAD 
packages.  DECview3D's IGES, HPGL, and CALComp 960 translators can read 
files from most CAD applications available today.  DECview3D Concurrent View 
and Edit is one in a series of product modules designed to extend the 
functionality and benefits of DECview3D.  Specifically, CVE enables long- 
distance, high-performance, concurrent CAD data review between multiple 
users.  Ultimately, DECview3D and DECview3D CVE lead to improvements in 
design quality and manufacturing turnaround time, as well as lower 
development costs.

CVE PERFORMANCE PRIORITY

DECview3D CVE was designed with performance as a top priority.  Because of 
NAS technology, users running DECview3D CVE Sessions over great distances 
operate as if they were within a local area network.  DECview3D CVE has been 
operated between Massachusetts and England and between Scotland and 
California on DECnet, and locally over 2400 BAUD modem connection; the 
display time in all cases was less than three seconds!
