VX Corporation’s Show-n-Tell™ Communication Tool

By Design World Staff | August 25, 2008

Melbourne, FL – VX Corporation announces the release of its new Show-n-Tell‚â„¢ communication tool at IMTS 2008. “Show-n-Tell” is built into VX CAD/CAM for on screen step-by-step lessons and to automate design review and markup as a 3D Markup tool.

With the “Show-n-Tell” tutorials, there are no video drivers or codecs to install or reams of paper to print. The “Show-n-Tell” 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. No more grey-scaled images from a tutorial book. 3D models, showing the expected result, can be rotated and zoomed, giving the user better feedback and understanding. Users work at their own pace, not that of an instructor, so no one gets left behind. VX allows the user to save the “Show-n-Tell” tutorial session and reload it at a later date. Along with the new tutorials, users will also be able to launch the new QuickTips‚â„¢ instructions from the help menu.


QuickTips‚â„¢ 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 are already in the works to make more available for download in the future.


Show-n-Tell‚â„¢ authoring is simple enough that a user can use it for both design review and markup. Show-n-Tell‚â„¢ 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. What really makes Show-n-Tell‚â„¢ great is that 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. This is all done without having to load special viewing software.


VX Corporation is hosting a 9:00 AM press breakfast during IMTS-08 at Booth D-3139 on Wednesday, Sept 10th to unveil this breakthrough technology.
