MCS: ANVIL EXPRESS Related Tools
 

ANVIL TOOLS
We've provided other tools to help maximize your implementation of ANVIL software:

  • Do you have designers working with various CAD/CAM file formats? Perhaps you have engineers or shop staff that only need to view data. The ANVIL Express Viewer provides import capability for popular CAD/CAM file formats, letting you view, print & plot.
  • Do you have hundreds or thousands of ANVIL part files (.PRT, .GEN, or .DRW) to convert to graphics formats, CAD formats, or plot? ANVILhpgl 3.2 lets you automate the conversion and plotting process, producing HPGL, HPGL/2, IGES, DXF, EPS, InterLeaf, TIFF/G4, JPEG, SVG, or PDF files from your ANVIL part files.

EXPRESS Viewer 4.0 - Multi-format View and Print program
This version of our drawing/file viewer reads the most popular formats including, ANVIL EXPRESS (.AXP), ANVIL-5000 (.PRT, .GEN), DXF/DWG, IGES, VDAFS and ANVIL-1000 (.DRW). It also allows full view manipulation, interrogation, plotting and printing of the part.

4.0 Features:

  • Support for 256 colors, and 800 x 600 resolution displays.
  • Ability to import/read ANVIL Express, ANVIL-5000, DXF/DWG, IGES, ANVIL-1000, and VDAFS
  • Standalone Viewer uses Windows menus, dialogs and buttons, to make learning and using it as simple as possible. It also shares common toolbars with its parent system, giving it a familiar 'look-and-feel' to existing ANVIL EXPRESS users.  
  • Comprehensive Zoom functions, both on toolbars, and available from a mouse-button flyout menu, allow rapid navigation around the screen.



  • Ability to modify Basic Modals.
  • Drawing Layout access tools permit page changes in multi-sheet drawings.
  • Hide or Show information by level assignment, color, pen, linestyle, type, or any combination of these characteristics, as well as by screen selection and filtered area selection.
  • 3D models can be viewed as wireframe, hidden-line, or shaded images, and rotated under mouse control.



  • Simple hard-copy screen print, and scale-controlled plotting options are available for output, using standard Windows printer functions, with optional support for non-Windows supported devices (HPGL, CalComp, Graphtec etc).
  • Permits both full-screen and selective bitmap capture of graphics into popular image file formats such as JPEG, TIFF, PNG, TGA and BMP.

EXPRESS Viewer 4.0 is available on CDrom for $295.00 per license (domestic price). This is a non-maintenance product. To buy the Viewer or request international pricing, just contact our Scottsdale office.
