Markups/Annotations/Redlines are automatically saved on the server and are available to other users to edit or view, depending on their document access level.

VueLink and AutoVue fully support the special handling of CAD documents created in AutoCAD or MicroStation which may contain Xrefs or Reference files. CAD, Raster and Hybrid files are also fully supported.

VueLink and AutoVue Professional for Open Text give users the following powerful features and capabilities - locally, or remotely :

• Securely view documents without editing them
• Support for over 450 Engineering and Business documents formats
• View multiple markup files
• Create markup/redline/annotations directly on stored documents using a rich set of annotation tools.
• Create hyperlink connections to other related documents.
• Consolidate several markup files (perhaps from different reviewers) into a single markup file
• Control Regular, Read only, Master, and Consolidated markup access to markup files.
• Markups are associated with a specific revision of a documents. Markups may be migrated to new revisions if needed.
• Graphically compare different revisions of Engineering drawings.
• Sign markups using the PenOp electronic signature package (PenOp product required).

VueLink for Open Text also provides users the basis to add further powerful functionality to the Open Text system through the use of custom designed tools.

Custom designed tools offer many possibilities. Users can create intelligent custom stamps that query for document information to include in a markup.

Custom applications can be created to extract relevant information from an AutoCAD or MicroStation file, and automatically link it with information (such as a Bill of Materials) available in the Open Text server. This brings the concept of intelligent drawings to a new level.

These features are also available from within your Web Browser using the AutoVue Client-Server Edition.
