- Conversion Utility
-
- PrePARE on UNIX platform is a software product that processes graphic files
- from CAD and image systems, paper and micrographic scanners and other graphical
- applications into formats for use with PreVIEW, a superior solution for the
- display, annotation, and plot of engineering drawings, maps, and site plans.
- CAD industry standard neutral file formats such as IGES, AutoCAD DXF, CalComp,
- and HP-GL, as well as image formats such as TIFF, WIFF, MIL-R-28002, and CCITT
- Group 3 and 4 can be imported through PrePARE. PrePARE preserves the
- intelligence in CAD databases. It supports MIL-D-28000 (IGES) and MIL-R-28002
- (Raster), essential features for compliance with the emerging US DoD CALS
- standards. Once these files have been processed, they can be viewed on any
- supported PreVIEW
-
- PrePARE FEATURES
-
- IGES processing PrePARE has been developed to fully support the IGES standard.
- All IGES entities, excluding FEM (Finite Element Model), macros and solid
- entity types, are supported by PrePARE making it fully CALS Class I and Class
- II compliant. The original IGES entities and construction layers are preserved
- through the PrePARE process, enabling selective viewing of CAD data with
- PreVIEW. PrePARE also enables surfaces to be rendered with a user specified
- mesh, enhancing the graphic representation of CAD models
-
- DXF processing PrePARE includes support for conversion from DXF to PreVIEW
- readable files. Additionally, PrePARE converts PreVIEW annotation overlay
- (.ovl) files into DXF to allow markups to be imported into the originating CAD
- system
-
- Plotter files PrePARE can process CALCOMP 925/960 or HP-GL plotter file
- formats
-
- Image input options. Raster input may be sourced from a paper scanner (up to
- E-size), micrographics scanner, or from any imaging system such as VS WIIS or
- Open/image Windows which supports one of the following raster data formats;
- WIFF, TIFF, MIL-R-28002, CCITT Group 3, CCITT Group 4, IMPELL RLC, CAD
- OVERLAY/ESP RLC, ACCESS uncompressed raw raster
-
- Batch processing Process multiple files in a batch mode. You can set up a
- command script to process large numbers of files without tedious or error-prone
- human intervention.
