Columbus utilises a powerful viewing engine and supports many commercial file formats, including Microsoft Office XP, AutoCAD 2004/2005/2006, Microstation V8 and Hewlett Packard HPGL/2.

Ease of Use
Columbus is designed to look and feel like Windows Explorer. This ensures rapid deployment and minimal disruption.

No Specialist Staff Required
Columbus does not sit on top of another system or database, indeed there is no database, and that's the beauty of it. You don't need some "techie" to maintain the system and you don't need to buy and maintain any additional software.

CAD Enabled
Columbus has specific support for AutoCAD 2000 - 2006 and the viewer shows layout tabs.

Redlining, Zooming & Printing
You can open as many viewer windows as you need and can size them to suit. Any view can be printed without requiring the software that originally created the file, and many file-types can be redlined i.e. you can add your own comments which are overlaid on the document.

Viewing
Columbus includes viewing technology from Rasterex, it also incorporates and extends Autodesk's Volo View Express to ensure that you have the best viewing tools to hand.

Document Meta-Data
Columbus can store document properties such as the description, status, revision etc. These are displayed in Columbus and can be modified by simply right-clicking and selecting "Properties".

And much, much more.
