Functionality
editPartXplore serves as a collaborative viewer for 2D and 3D CAD files, allowing users to measure 3D parts and analyze various properties such as undercut areas, plane surfaces, thickness, volumes, surfaces, and weight. The software also provides dynamic cross-sectional visualization.
PartXplore enables users to add dimensional and geometric measurements, annotations, and labels directly to the 3D model. Additionally, the software facilitates the sharing of 3D parts and assembly files through a standalone application that can be transmitted as an executable file. The recipient can then access and work on the 3D model received.[2]

editPartXplore is compatible with various file types, including:
- 2D formats: DXF, DWG, WorkNC 2D curves, CATIA V5 2D, UG 2D, Pro/E 2D and HPGL
