ZWSOFT Releases ZWCAD 2021

0

GUANGZHOU, China, Sep 3, 2020 – Today sees the official launch of ZWCAD 2021, the faster and smoother version of the powerful, reliable, and DWG compatible CAD solution developed by ZWSOFT.

 

ZWCAD 2021: Faster and Smoother

 

Less Time on Waiting, More on the Pleasing UI

Speed, a feature vital to ZWCAD, is at its hitherto best thanks to the upgraded graphic engine. On average, file reading consumes 30% less time in this version than the last one. Also, it only takes half of the time to switch, freeze, lock, and unlock layers. Nevertheless, there is no compromise on stability and display effects. Even at 4K resolutions, objects are adaptive and displayed in better quality.

Xrefs, Easily Managed and Clipped

External references can come in various formats, which makes it tricky to handle them when there was one manager for each type of file. In ZWCAD 2021, Xref management becomes much simpler. In one panel, you can preview and highlight files, check file information, modify file path, etc.

 

external reference manager-zwcad-0155-zwcad-0168.jpg

 

Likewise, clip-related commands like XClip have been integrated into one. With the CLIP command, you can clip blocks, Xrefs, images, underlays, and viewports. Plus, it’s feasible to scale clip boundary with grips and invert XClip by clicking the arrow.

Transparency, Adjustable for Distinguishing Objects

Sometimes, it is inevitable that design elements are overlapping. To have a clearer view of them, you can now specify the transparency of objects, hatches, references, etc. individually or collectively if they are in the same layer.

 

transparency-zwcad-0158-zwcad-0170.jpg

 

Different Layer Properties for Different Viewports

You might need to highlight some objects for plotting without affecting the design in the model space. Now that viewport layers are available, you can accentuate specific layer properties (layer color, line type, line weight, etc.) for each viewport. Furthermore, VpLayers can be quickly selected with filters and reset.

Quicker Calculations with Table and Field Formulas

Now, the value of table cells can be summed, averaged, multiplied, etc. with formulas and mathematical expressions. Similarly, formulas are available in the Field dialogue box. You can update the fields which are calculated with formulas using the REGEN command. With formulas, calculating is as easy as ABC.

 

formula-zwcad-0159-zwcad-0169.jpg

 

Mouse Actions, Customizable for Personal Design Habits

When SHORTCUTMENU the system variable is 0, both double-click actions and mouse buttons are customizable. In the CUI dialogue box, you can replace the result of mouse actions with your desired command.

 

Customizable Mouse Actions-zwcad-0157-zwcad-0167.jpg

 

Of course, ZWCAD 2021 offers many more new features and improvements than the ones mentioned. For example, Visual Studio® has been upgraded to version 2017 and the .NET interface to 4.6.1 for easier porting of applications.

Download ZWCAD 2021 for a 30-day free trial and be ready for an unprecedentedly fast and smooth CAD experience.

EON Reality Launches EON-XR for XR Learning, Training

0

IRVINE, CA, USA, Sep 2, 2020 – EON Reality, the global leader in Augmented and Virtual Reality-based knowledge and skills transfer for industry and education, is proud to unveil the release of EON-XR, the brand new all-encompassing solution for XR learning and training.

 

eon_xrEON-XR’s new evolution marks an XR transformation for  academic and industrial education

 

EON XR comes after over 20 years of perfecting an AR and VR platform based on patented technology which has received more than 20 international awards. Through the use of XR — the umbrella covering everything in AR, VR, and Mixed Reality — the new evolution of EON-XR is a massive step forward for a world in which remote learning is more important than ever. EON-XR brings a sleek new user experience built from the ground up to maximize ease of use for both the new and existing features.

 

EON-XR_Still6-1536x864

 

EON-XR_Still3

 

Of the new features, one of the biggest additions in EON-XR is the ability to hold a remote immersive session as a team through our multi-user feature. This feature enables instructors to add XR learning components to their remote education materials, providing a more hands-on way for students and trainees to experience the topics they’re using in real time — which can be particularly useful in conjunction with EON-XR’s life-size AR scaling capabilities. Rather than a small photo in a textbook, EON-XR allows teachers and trainers to utilize full-size 3D modelsInteractive 360° images, and 360° videos to bring their audience face-to-face with the subject matter. EON-XR also provides AR assistance in real time, so that the users get the contextual instructions when they need it, whether in Side by Side AR mode or in Overlaid AR mode.

Two other major improvements in EON-XR are the ability to create multiple 3D recordings within the same session — meaning that instructors can quickly create and demonstrate detailed procedures and aspects of a 3D model (such as a piece of equipment or interactive environment) in XR — and the ability to add 360° videos to lessons focusing on a 3D object. From a remote education perspective this means that not only can teachers and trainers show how an object functions, they can now show exactly how and where it fits within a larger real-life scenario.

 

EON-XR_Still7

 

While these features are all fully functional on computers, smartphones, and tablets, users who prefer to experience EON-XR while wearing an XR headset (such as an Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, or Magic Leap) will be able to enjoy some exclusive new features as well.

The new 3D assessment tool brings live XR procedural assessment to EON-XR, so instructors can test their pupils’ education by making them replicate the steps of a certain process. At the end of each assessment, EON-XR shows the user a report based on their performance, which is also provided to appropriate instructors. This report includes completion percentage, any additional or inaccurate steps, and the amount of time in which it was completed.

 

3DAssessment

 

Staying within XR headsets, the new Search Assist functionality allows users to scour the internet for relevant information about the memos and annotations they’ve created without ever leaving the application — putting more information at a user’s fingertips than ever before.

 

SearchAssist

 

As a part of the new EON-XR release EON Reality also introduces the patented new system using virtual lasers for interacting with XR environments. Mobile devices can employ virtual pointers and control buttons to enable users to interact with the objects. Users can aim the pointer at an object, select the object, and then drag and drop thel object to a new location. Embodiments also enable users to select, move, transform, create and delete objects with the pointer. This new virtual pointer technology also provides users with a means of drawing lines and geometric virtual objects.

About EON Reality

EON Reality is the world leader in Augmented and Virtual Reality-based knowledge and skills transfer for industry and education. EON Reality’s 21 years of success are tied to its belief that knowledge is a human right and should be available, accessible, and affordable for every human on the planet. To carry this out, EON Reality has developed the de-facto standard for Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality-based knowledge and skills transfer software that supports devices from mobile phones to large immersive domes. EON Reality’s global development network — with more than 20 locations worldwide — has created the world’s leading AR/VR library for education and industry with over 8,000 applications and over 40 million users worldwide.

Innovate UK Selects Hexagon Geospatial for Rail Infrastructure Artificial Intelligence Project

0

NORCROSS, GA, USA, Sep 2, 2020 – Innovate UK, the country’s innovation agency, has selected Hexagon’s Geospatial division to conduct a research project that will result in faster and higher-precision mapping of railway infrastructure through the use of artificial intelligence. The project is funded by Network Rail, the owner and operator of Great Britain’s railway infrastructure, under its R&D portfolio and delivered by Innovate UK through the SBRI competition, Innovation in Automated Survey Processing for Railway Structure Gauging, Phase One. A small group of teams was selected for this effort.

 

Network Rail

 

The project will enable Network Rail to automatically identify and measure railway structures from LiDAR data, saving valuable time and resources, while also improving planning and operations across the rail network. The current, manual process takes analysts months or even years due to the size of the data and the labor-intensive tasks involved.

“The combination of cross-sectional area, shape, length and speed all place a space requirement on today’s railway,” said James Sweeney, Senior Engineer at Network Rail. “We anticipate this project will offer us a more efficient way to capture, analyse and measure railway features along 20,000 miles of track, which is important to railway safety and the growth and capacity of our network.”

Network Rail collects detailed information about its track and the surrounding features, such as bridges and tunnels. The data is then analyzed to assess clearances between trains and the infrastructure around them, which is key to safety. The new project aims to automate the extraction and calculation of railway features from sensor data, leveraging AI to automatically analyse point cloud data, identify different structure types and perform measurements on the structures. The data will be collected from reality capture solutions from Hexagon’s Geosystems division.

“Network Rail, supported by Innovate UK, is leading the way in the use of AI to automate rail structure identification and measurement,” said Mladen Stojic, president of Hexagon’s Geospatial division. “We are excited to be part of a project that can help transform the gauging process for UK railways.”

AVEVA’s Cloud-First Strategy to Cater for Demands of the New Normal

From operating information analysis and low-code application development to complex engineering visualization, AVEVA Connect’s functionality allows easy trials for new capabilities. This will enable customers to benefit from the latest, most innovative products available, all accessed via the cloud.

‘Cloud-First’ includes the introduction of scenario-driven integration between products for rapid time to value. Later this year, AVEVA will also introduce software development kits to enable partners to provide their solutions within the AVEVA Connect platform in order to increase the range of capabilities available to customers.

“The shift to the cloud isn’t a matter of choice but something that must aggressively be pursued. The tremendous advantages of deployment and ownership costs, the ability to flexibly consume purely based on need and the removal of localized barriers to allow unprecedented levels of work efficiency and collaboration mean that we will continue to add to the rich domain content of our portfolio, because this is not just about technology, but about the realities and specifics of our customer’s business,” concluded Ravi Gopinath, Chief Cloud Officer and Chief Product Officer, AVEVA.
