WinPlace For Windows 95/NT Version 8.1 26 July 1998 WinPlace is a freeware application which allows you to create and place objects into an area and view the results in 3D (VRML 2.0). The objects can be almost anything (office furniture, electronic components, city buildings, etc.), and can be manually created or selected from user-created libraries. WinPlace can also import and export design information using several formats, including DXF (CAD standard), Excel spreadsheets, BMP/WMF (Windows compatible images) and STL (rapid prototyping). For the special case of electronic assemblies designedwith WinPlace, conduction thermal analysis and routing analysis capabilities are also provided. Additional information (screen shots, sample outputs, latest changes, etc.) can be found at the WinPlace home page: http://web2.airmail.net/gbeene/winplace.html If you have questions, comments, or suggestions please send email to Gary L.

This README.TXT file is included (uncompressed) in the .ZIP file. The following OCX/DLL files are contained in the WinPlace self-extracting installation file. The columns show the file versions used to check the target PC, based on the operating system in use by the target PC. These files are installed only if the target PC is older and is a later versions. A copy of all replaced files may be placed in a backup directory as part of the installation process.
