- HUNTSVILLE, Ala., May 1,1992 - Intergraph Corporation today announced the
- release of MicroStation Review. This addition to the MicroStation family
- addresses the need of many MicroStation users to extend the access to
- computer-aided design (CAD) drawings to project team members--even those
- with no CAD expertise.
-
- As an integral pan of the design and drafting process, MicroStation Review
- provides instant access to CAD data on the network. Project managers,
- drawing checkers, and others can view, redline, print, and plot current
- design information across a network. MicroStation Review offers users a
- high level of work group interaction without the cost of a full CAD seat.
- It dramatically reduces expensive hard-copy iteration and streamlines
- editing and revision cycles.
-
- Comprehensive redlining provides a means to communicate revision
- information to the original designers. Redlining features include
- annotation, notes, and the ability to specify areas for change. Because
- MicroStation Review makes use of MicroStation's reference file
- capabilities, this information does not affect the original drawing,
- ensuring data integrity. The user has full access to MicroStation's 2D and
- 3D files and all associated reference files including rendering for
- interference checking and presentations, database review for instant
- access to current information, and check plot generation.
-
- Users can customize MicroStation Review via MicroStation Development
- Environment (MDE) applications created under a full MicroStation license.
- These applications are limited to view-only functionality.
-
- Pricing and Delivery
-
- MicroStation Review will be available May 30 for Intergraph workstations,
- personal computers and compatibles, Sun SPARCstations, and Hewlett-Packard
- Series 700 workstations. The PC version of MicroStation Review requires a
- 386 or more powerful PC, but no math coprocessor. Laser and dot matrix
- printers are supported. Installation and documentation are designed to
- make MicroStation Review easy for the users without CAD experience to
- learn and use. The U.S. suggested retail price of MicroStation Review is
- $795
