WorkXplore’s specialist measurement functions allow expert CAD users to recover point clusters from three dimensional measuring equipment or machine probes and to quickly check any data revision against the original CAD geometry. Entity labels automatically pivot to remain visible at all times. Measurements can be automatically included as measurement entities and can be anchored to characteristic points of the part. WorkXplore features a wide range of 2D and 3D measurement functions that are highly accurate due to the high precision B-rep 3D model employed. Even non-expert CAD users can quickly get to grips with the software’s measurement functions and obtain good results instantly by using the software’s predefined selection modes (points, 2D entities, planes, surfaces, etc). This lightweight format can be easily transmitted to other project members via email. The software saves the native CAD data in its own lightweight format enabling users to calculate surface areas and volumes, measure thickness, dimensions and angles and much more without requiring the original CAD data. WorkXplore has been created for the efficient import and analysis of files of all sizes and types but it is the speed at which it imports large 3D CAD files which is particularly impressive, often taking less than half the time to open a file compared to the original CAD application. A wide range of CAD interfaces are available: Catia V5, Catia V4, Unigraphics, Parasolid, Pro/E, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Cadds, IGES, STEP, Unisurf, STL (binary and ASCII), WorkNC geometry, VRML, WorkNC toolpaths, ISO toolpaths, DXF, DWG, HPGL.

Users can work on model set up and improvements before committing time and resources to creating a real prototype. WorkXplore enables users to build virtual unified prototypes or 3D models from files imported from various CAD applications.
