VX Corp. recently announced the
release of its new Show-n-Tell CAD
instruction tool. Show-n-Tell is built tutorial is launched by loading a VX file.
Users can step back and forth with a
click of a button and all instructions are
on screen, eliminating the need to flip
back to a video or hold a book open. 3-
D models, showing the expected result,
can be rotated and zoomed, giving the
user better feedback and understanding.
Users work at their own pace, and
VX allows the user to save the session
and reload it at a later date. Along with
the new tutorials, users will also be able
to launch the new QuickTips instructions
from the help menu. QuickTips
covers common questions and provides
productivity tips using videos, stills and
text instructions. VX will initially include
four Show-n-Tell tutorials with the
release of this new enhancement, and
plans to make more available for download
in the future.
According to the company, Show-n-
Tell authoring is simple enough that a
user can use it for both design review
and markup. Users can point out problem
areas on a model or drawing by
simply creating annotations and pressing
a record button to capture the view
orientation and zoom state. The person
reviewing can click through the recorded
slides/steps. The reviewer can, at
any point, rotate, measure and dynamically
slice the model or zoom in on a
detail drawing, then quickly return to
the slides that the author intended for
them to see, all without having to load
special viewing software.
