ProArc View And Redline  

The handling of technical drawings often differs from regular Document Management. ProArc includes several features to handle such documents, such as an integrated tool for View and Redline.

ProArc View is a multi-format view tool that reads and prints between 50-60 different file formats. Including all TIFF variants ProArc View reads approx. 200 different formats. ProArc View is based on a product developed by the Rasterex Software.

ProArc Redline allows commenting and mark-ups of drawings. The marked-up drawings can be issued to the project via the ProArc Workflow module or can be stand-alone. The annotations given to the drawings are kept in ProArc. Layers of colours can be turned off or on for easy access to the different layer. The original drawing is unchanged.

The viewer/redline tool is available in three versions, a Web-based server version for viewing and redlining in a distributed environment, a Windows based View Client and a Windows based Redline Client.

The multi-format viewer, ProView allows the user to view and print over 200 different file formats - without having the original design software installed. Samples are listed below:
