RxView & RxHighlight


 

Powerful Windows viewer applications for viewing, printing, markup and file conversion of over 250 different file formats - 2D CAD, 3D CAD, DWG, PDF, raster and office files. Download free evaluation trial version.

RxView and RxHighlight are the standard desktop viewers that have been Rasterex' flagship products for over 15 years. They have been continuously developed, maintained and improved, and have always been in front when it comes to product innovation, robustness and user friendliness.

As a Windows application, it is installed on each computer, either from a download link or from a DVD. It can be licensed as a single standalone program or as a network license. For larger enterprises, the floating network license, with concurrent users, is often the most cost effective option.

RxView is the basic version, providing viewing, printing and measurement features.

RxHighlight is the exact same installation as RxView, but gives the user access to a set of advanced tools for markup, collaboration, file conversion and batch processes.

The installation is common for RxView & RxHighlight, and it is the license file that controls whether you have access to the RxHighlight options or not.

This can even be set up as a dynamic licensing. This means that the network license consists of a pool of RxView licenses and a few RxHighlight licenses. A users checks out an RxView license as default, and only uses an RxHighlight license when he needs access to the RxHighlight functions.  This improves the cost effectiveness even further, supporting Rasterex' flexible licensing policy for the benefit of our customers.

CAD viewer for viewing, printing and markup of CAD drawings. Use a Rasterex viewer as your only CAD viewer to view, print and redline/markup your CAD drawings. Any of the products listed in left-hand menu supports AutoCAD and 250 other file formats.

There is a variety of CAD viewer software available on the market: shareware, freeware and format specific CAD viewers. The problem is that a CAD user often has to download up to 10-15 different viewers to cover the range of formats they use - all with a variable quality, different user interfaces, different update schedules (if any) and different feature sets.

Why not make life easier, and let RxView be your only CAD viewer? And let RxHighlight add markup, file conversion and batch processes for collaboration between team members? 

They support over 250 different file formats, including all the most commonly used CAD formats, and are continuously updated to latest version.

Microsoft Office - Word, Excel and PowerPoint - is installed on Millions of PC's around the world. Most users have no issues with reading and exchanging Microsoft Office files.

They can download as much as 10-15 different viewers to view different CAD formats, scanned raster images, Office documents, PDF files etc. Each of them with a different user interface, space- and time consuming installation, variable update schedules and different feature sets.
Why not make life easier, and let RxView be your only viewer for all file types. Let RxView be your Microsoft Office Viewer, Microsoft Word Viewer, Microsoft Excel Viewer, Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer, as well as for over 250 other file formats, in one single applicaton. And let RxHighlight provide one common interface for markup and commenting between between team members. One installation, one user interface, one set of features, one update schedule and continuously updated to latest version.
