JETCAM, a global leader in advanced manufacturing software, has released version 4 of its free CAD Viewer, introducing a range of new features and usability enhancements. The update offers faster, more intuitive viewing of 2D CAD files on Windows PCs, delivering an improved and more efficient user experience.
The new release focuses on improving functionality and providing a better interface experience. Key enhancements include:
- Automatic Dark/Light Mode: Adapts to your Windows theme for a seamless viewing experience.
- 32-bit and 64-bit Versions: Choose the version that suits your system. The 64-bit version supports larger memory loads—ideal for managing folders with many component files.
- Layer Visibility Control: Show or hide individual layers in DXF and JETCAM files, making it easier to isolate and inspect key data like bend lines.
- Raw Data Viewing: Access block and raw content data from DXF files for in-depth analysis.
- JETCAM Integration: Right-click on a JETCAM component to instantly open it in JETCAM Expert (when set as default).
