To be able to review and collaborate this information with other users on specific details requires a robust visualization tool that handles many different file formats. CSView provides the maximum flexibility in re-use and collaboration of this data. CSView can be used as a standalone application, integrated with industry standard document management systems or invoked from within any application that contains an ActiveX control. CSView is supplied with 2 levels of functionality – CSView Basic and CSView.

Layer Management
Markup
Markups are separate files that are linked to an associated document. Markups can be stored on any drive or media, making it available to other users making it an invaluable asset that greatly facilitates communication and collaboration between team members. Any viewable document can be annotated to implement collaborative content creation, change requests, ECOs, and other revision and versioning controls. CSView markup tool has Rectangles, Rounded rectangles, Ovals, Lines, Polylines, Bubbles, and Text as markup objects. The user can move, scale, rotate or edit any marked-up object. It is also possible to add hyperlinks to any markup. A text comment with frames and arrow allows team members to share ideas and highlight problem parts in the design. Multiple colors, the semi-transparent mode for backgrounds and different fill styles can be used to distinguish different markups. Furthermore, layers can be used to manage markup. Markup drawing commands utilize raster/vector snap and Ortho mode to accurately draw comments.
