Press Release
Informative Graphics® Updates Free DWG Viewer
New Release Incorporates Latest Open Design Alliance
DWGdirect Version 1.11
SCOTTSDALE, Arizona - July 14, 2004 — Informative
Graphics Corporation (IGC), a leader in Web-document and
collaboration technology, today announced that its new version
of the Free DWG Viewer supports AutoCAD 2005 DWG/DXF files. The
Free DWG Viewer allows users to open and view native AutoCAD r12
to 2005 files, including xrefs without requiring the CAD
application. The software also views DWF and IGC’s content
sealed format (CSF) with Visual Rights® persistent file
security.
The Free DWG Viewer is built on IGC’s easy-to-use Brava!®
viewer technology and the latest DWGdirect 1.11 code from the
Open Design Alliance (www.opendesign.com).
The new version opens and views native AutoCAD drawing files
faster and adds complete support for AutoCAD 2005 entities.
Free DWG Viewer users can upgrade to a Brava! Desktop version
that provides view, print, and measurement for AutoCAD DWG, DXF,
and DWG and CSF for a $29.00 (U.S.) annual subscription fee. It
also includes the ability to publish AutoCAD files to CSF with
Visual Rights® security controls. This allows drawing designs to
be distributed with persistent rights management and be viewed
by IGC’s free Brava! Reader.
“Hundreds of thousands of users have downloaded our free
AutoCAD format viewer and we’re continuing our enthusiastic
support of this user community with this release,” said Gary
Heath, President and CEO at IGC. “We also want to acknowledge
the great work being done by the Open Design Alliance for
providing an open DWG technology base to IGC and to most of the
major CAD and custom application developers. The full resources
available to the Alliance far outweigh what any single vendor
could do on its own.”
