New Features and Multiple Enhancements Drive Price/Feature Leadership In Viewing Market

PHOENIX, Arizona July 10, 2002 - Informative Graphics Corporation (IGC), a leader in visualization and collaboration technology, proudly announces the release of MYRIAD 6.0, the latest version of its popular view and redline desktop software. MYRIAD is the only full-feature, multiple format, 3D/2D CAD viewer that includes document and drawing support and is less than $200/seat. Combined with the latest improvements, new functionality and ease-of-use, along with the optional native Pro/E Granite add-on, MYRIAD remains the best value available in CAD viewing.

"MYRIAD 6.0 positions us aggressively in the full-feature CAD viewer market", said IGC CEO Gary Heath. "When you consider the price, nothing even comes close with respect to MYRIAD 6.0's format support, fidelity, features and performance. MYRIAD is a great viewer for a low price and embodies our vision to enable more organizations and users to have quality access to CAD content downstream so they can do their jobs better".

The MYRIAD Pro/E option is a separate add-on to MYRIAD 6.0 and is priced at an additional $200 U.S. dollars per seat. All other native formats like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Inventor, Cadence OrCAD, Microstation, HGPL, TIFF, CALS, PDF and Office formats are included in the base price of MYRIAD, which remains at $195 U.S. dollars per seat.

"We applaud the leadership role that PTC is taking with interoperability through Granite One and are extremely pleased to offer the MYRIAD Pro/E option based on their kernel. Granite One enables MYRIAD to accurately view native Pro/E assemblies and part files, providing valuable confidence to our common customers," says Heath.
