Original Press Release:



CoCreate OneSpace Designer 2002+ Introduces Collaborative Design for non-technical users



New tools for modeling, reviewing and drafting help designers collaboratively work in real-time with non-technical users

FORT COLLINS, Colo., and SINDELFINGEN, Germany - May 30, 2002 - CoCreate Software Inc., the leading provider of collaborative product development (CPD) solutions, today announced availability of the newest version of OneSpace Designer 2002+, its collaborative 3D design tool designed to increase productivity and decrease product development cycles.

The latest release of the product, which incorporates more than 800 customer-driven enhancements, expands collaborative design capabilities throughout the product development process with five new modules designed to support both technical and non-
technical teams, including: technical documentation, inspection, customers, and suppliers:

- The new Design Simplification module provides capabilities to generate a simplified 3-D representation of complex designs. Simplified models can be used in large assemblies, when sharing data with suppliers, and with web-based parts providers. The Design Simplification module is unique in its ability to control the simplification so that critical areas of the 3D design remain fully detailed, while the rest of the design is simplified.

- The new Model Manager module enables designers to easily manage their own 3D designs and corresponding 2D drawings, versions, and revisions within their company and to easily expand their solution to encompass suppliers and their design data.

-The new 3D Inspection module helps designers create a 3-D inspection model that can be used to automate the design inspection process. It is ideally suited for companies with a need for volume inspection of manufactured goods.

- The new Drawing Manager module allows users to easily manage their own drawing data, versions, and revisions within their company and to easily expand their solution to encompass suppliers and their design data.

- Personal Collaboration gives users the ability to easily share 2D drawing data and collaborate in real-time with their extended design teams, including suppliers, customers, and other departments within the company. Additionally, the latest release of Personal Collaboration provides non-technical users with a
simple web based reviewer tool which they can use to exchange ideas, provide design feedback, and make revisions on both 2D and 3D engineering formats free from any hardware or network dependency.

"A recent study by CADENCE Magazine showed that 78 percent of CAD users share information with non-CAD literate colleagues," said Ulrich H. Mahle, vice-president and director of Product Development for CoCreate. "The web-based reviewer capabilities for non-technical users we've added in this release make it possible to expand online collaboration and product development beyond the engineering side of a company to the whole enterprise."
