1. What is Volo View 3?
Volo View 3 provides tools for project design teams and their extended circle of reviewers to view, mark up, measure, and plot digital design data. The application supports a variety of file formats, including AutoCAD® 2004 DWG and DXF™; Design Web Format™ (DWF™) 6; Autodesk Inventor® 8 IPT, IAM, and IDW, and raster files.
2. What’s new in Volo View 3?
Volo View 3 provides full support for viewing, marking up, measuring, printing, and plotting drawings created in AutoCAD 2004 and Autodesk Inventor 8. In addition, Volo View 3 software offers read and write support for the new DWF 6 file format and includes user interface enhancements to support multi-sheet DWF files.
3. Should I use Volo View or Autodesk DWF Composer?
Autodesk® DWF™ Composer is Autodesk’s latest design review software application. It provides the review and markup capabilities of Volo View plus integration with the AutoCAD® 2005 family of products. Only with DWF Composer can you “round-trip” your DWF file and overlay the markups onto the original CAD file, which streamlines the review and editing process. DWF Composer includes powerful status tracking capabilities and complete sheet set organization to add or delete sheets, images, project timelines, and more to your sheet set.
If your focus is on viewing native Autodesk Inventor® 8 files, rather than efficient DWF files, then Volo View is the application for you. Compare the differences with the Viewer Comparison Chart.
