- Expert Graphics Inc., The U.S. Distributor of the RASTEREX line of Graphics
- Solutions will be exhibiting the complete range of RASTEREX products on
- Booth 2835 at the A/E/C Systems Show, June 9-11, 1992 in Dallas, Texas.
- Three new/updated products will be introduced at the show.
-
- RASTEREX TRACER Board -- New Product
-
- Designed for fast visualizations and 3D performance solutions, Tracer is a
- TMS34020 based graphics board with standard utilization of full 32-bit
- floating point image manipulation. Options include the ability to upgrade
- to very large memory capacities to accommodate complex real-time
- processing of 3D graphics entities.
-
- "The RASTEREX Tracer board provides a new level of performance for fast
- interactive 3D graphics," says Darrell Knight, president of Expert
- Graphics, Inc. "Like all RASTEREX boards, Tracer will enhance the
- functionality of AutoCAD for dedicated users by providing overall
- improvement in speed, as well as maneuverability in overlay functions such
- as Spyglass and Bird's-Eye-View. For example, the user will be able to
- display a Bird's-Eye-View while panning and zooming." Tracer offers high
- resolution, 1280 x 1024 at 72Hz.
-
- More importantly, Tracer, with it's on-board co-processor, has the
- capability of handling future 3D applications. Its way of communicating
- with the PC is so flexible that it will enable parallel processing, and
- thus access to the faster PCs of today and tomorrow. Tracer will
- significantly increase the speed of all Windows applications. It can be
- upgraded to 16MB DRAM which will allow the user to work with very large
- drawings. Tracer will run all RASTEREX software including AutoIcon, RxEDM
- and RxImage.
-
- RxEDM -- New Version
-
- A new version of RxEDM (Engineering Drawing Management) will be introduced,
- which will incorporate retrieving and redlining of documents ("A" size or
- FAX type, as well as engineering drawings.) Users will be able to add
- links to CAD or scanned drawings, enabling associated documents to be
- retrieved and viewed as one retrieves a drawing. For greater flexibility
- in developing a custom database front-end, and to add increased supervisor
- control, this new version will include: a new screen painter program,
- multiple configurable user screens for different user access to the same
- database, and extended DBF access.
-
- This new development will take RxEDM from being a drawing management system
- to an intelligent company-wide information database.
-
- RxVECTORY -- New Version
-
- RxVectory is an automatic raster to vector convertor program, which allows
- scanned drawings to be converted automatically to CAD-compatible DXB or
- DXF files. Tools include raster processing for splitting merged lines;
- arc, line, circle, and polyline entity recognition; and the ability to
- assign multiple layers far easy AutoCAD integration. Most importantly, the
- primary capability in version 2.0 includes optical character recognition
- (OCR), for faster integration of text information into a CAD environment.
