InspectionXpert has released InspectionXpert for PDF 2012 and InspectionXpert OnDemand 2012. InspectionXpert for PDF and InspectionXpert OnDemand work with PDF/TIFF files created from any source, including scanned drawings, to quickly and accurately turn engineering drawings into ballooned inspection drawings and quality inspection forms.
With the new release, users can easily handle drawing revisions and changes with new ability to cut, copy and paste balloons and/or characteristics, and drag and drop re-ordering of characteristics in the Table Manager. The GD&T Builder tool provides more options for working with Geometric Tolerances in inspection reports.
Additional Sub Types and Units (such as Torque, Temperature, Voltage, Electrical Capacitance, etc.) are now available for more comprehensive reporting options. New Grid Setup options and interface make it easier to customize grids across multiple pages.
InspectionXpert identifies and extracts critical dimensions and tolerances from engineering drawings in almost any format. Supported formats include PDF, TIF, AutoCAD, CATIA, ProENGINEER, Creo Elements/Pro, Solid Edge and SolidWorks.
