: A major highlight is the new renderer based on OpenGL 4.3 , which significantly boosts frame rates and provides more fluid zooming, rotating, and panning of complex models.

: The viewer features a modern "Ribbon" toolbar that adapts context-sensitively to the current task, making it easier for users to find the tools they need.

To maintain high performance, the HiCAD Viewer 2021 has specific hardware and software prerequisites:

: Requires a graphics card supporting at least OpenGL version 4.3 . For complex designs, dedicated GPUs are recommended over onboard chips.

Using the HiCAD Viewer 2021 allows companies to optimize their development cycles by:

: Fully compatible with 64-bit Windows 10 and Windows 11. It does not support older systems like Windows 7 or 8.

: Manufacturing and quality teams can assess designs without risking accidental modifications to the source file.
