OAKLAND, Calif. & MARLBOROUGH, Mass.--( )--March 18, 2003--Tech Soft America (TSA), the leading provider of component graphics technology to the CAD/CAM/CAE industry, and CADKEY Corporation, a leading developer of Windows(R)-based mechanical design and drafting software worldwide, announced the all-new CADKEY(R) V21 Viewer was rapidly built on the HOOPS(R) 3D Application Framework (HOOPS 3d/AF), further extending CADKEY's use of HOOPS technologies. The new CADKEY viewer, available for free download from allows users to view the all-new-architecture files for CADKEY GraphX and CADKEY Workshop Version 20 as well as the newest release - Version 21.

It also gives users the opportunity to export files in a variety of formats including the popular HOOPS Stream File (HSF), the format at the center of the OpenHSF Initiative. 'CADKEY was looking for a simplified method for both CADKEY users and non-CAD users to view original data stored in our new '.CKD' file format. It was important that it have an easy-to-use interface, various display motions, measuring capabilities, attribute verification and numerous export options so that non-engineering departments could readily access and use the information for collaborative purposes.

We also wanted a wide range of export options for ease of model and drawing distribution. By using the HOOPS 3D Application Framework we were able to focus on quickly and easily delivering a simple yet powerful viewer,' stated Robert Bean, P.E., President and CEO of CADKEY Corporation. 'It's great to see the CADKEY(R) V21 Viewer is already available to the public.

CADKEY had a specific set of requirements for this product, including optimized graphics display and output of next-generation compressed graphical files as well as an aggressive timeline for delivery. HOOPS 3D Application Framework was the ideal toolkit for them to use and has given the CADKEY Viewer a solid foundation and rich functionality,' added Ron Fritz, Managing Partner, Tech Soft America.
