FARMINGTON HILLS, MI, Oct 6, 2008 – CCE has announced that it has added the ability to transform and rotate components in heterogeneous and homogenous assemblies as well as improved markup collaboration capabilities in EnSuite Version 2 – its multi-CAD viewing, translation and productivity software.

“In this new version we have raised the bar another notch by providing new capabilities for downstream manipulation of homogeneous or heterogeneous assemblies while also simplifying the process of communicating markup and redlining information by attaching the markup to the CAD file,” said Vinay Wagle, V.P. Sales & Marketing for CCE.

The transform and rotate components in assembly feature enhances the ability of EnSuite users to work with assemblies created by inserting components from a single or multiple CAD systems. In the previous version of EnSuite, components could be moved to create the assembly but were fixed from that point on. In the new version, components of existing assemblies can be rotated or transformed at any time. This feature enables users to, for example, evaluate the functionality of a mechanism by moving components through their full range of motion to identify and correct interferences.

This feature improves on the already powerful ability of EnSuite to create assemblies using components from different proprietary and neutral CAD formats such as Pro/ENGINEER, CATIA V4 or V5, SolidWorks, Unigraphics, IGES, STEP and Parasolid. Each individual or company involved in a collaborative product development project can create and modify components in their own CAD system while the entire assembly can be viewed, evaluated and marked up in a single environment.

The collaborative capabilities of EnSuite have also been improved by storing markup and CAD data in a single file in order to simplify communications. In previous versions, markup data was saved in separate files and the CAD file as well as each markup file had to be stored and transferred separately. In the latest version, the option is provided to save the CAD file and all markup images in a single file using CCE’s proprietary ES3D file format. The user can deliver the CAD data and multiple markup images in a single file for easy sending and viewing.

The latest EnSuite update will be available to all active subscription license customers as well as to new customers.

EnSuite goes far beyond the capabilities of conventional viewers and translators by providing a wide range of productivity tools for accessing critical engineering information. EnSuite prevents users from saving changes to the master CAD model to protect integrity of the master model. Licenses are automatically administered and the product updated over the Internet.

EnSuite is designed for companies that work in a multi-CAD environment, such as those used by customers, vendors and partners. EnSuite provides seamless interoperability with CATIA V4, CATIA V5, Pro/ENGINEER, Unigraphics, and SolidWorks CAD systems as well as Parasolid, IGES and STEP files. Files can be translated to and from any of these formats without the native CAD software.
