LIBEREC, Czech Republic, Jun 24, 2024 – VariCAD announces the release of a new version of its flagship product, VariCAD 2024-2.0. This new version contains multiple new options of 3D data output, and some optimization within a VariCAD core. The new options of output contain 3D PDF, Collada, ACIS data and PRC data.

Highlights:

• 3D PDF format allows you to view exported 3D models on multiple platforms, including Android. You can zoom, pan and rotate the view and perform measurement of 3D dimensions.
• Collada (Collaborative Design Activity) is a format mainly used in computer graphics. It is managed by Khronos Group and is adopted by ISO.
• ACIS data can be stored in format *.SAT (text) or *.SAB (binary). Format data up to version 700 are compatible with any software using ACIS. Higher versions – since 20800 are modified by Autodesk into a different representation. VariCAD output is compatible with Autodesk versions, so we recommend using versions up to 700 if you want to export data into different software than Autodesk products.
• 3D PRC (Product Representation Compact) is used for embedding of 3D data into PDF or for store, loading and displaying of 3D. VariCAD allows vast modifications of any supported output formats. These settings are available from the “cfg” command, or directly within a file-dialog, if you select a command “Save As”.
