Centralized, automated batch publishing

Actify Publisher monitors user-specified folders on the network.

When a CAD file is put in any monitored folder, it can be automatically published to a compressed, secure .3D format, according to guidelines set up by the user. These files, in turn, are immediately accessible by SpinFire Professional and other applications in the Actify Suite of Products.

Comprehensive monitoring & control

Actify Publisher provides exceptional control over the batch publishing process via a dashboard interface , enabling users to set parameters determining:

• what files (or types of files) are published to .3D format
• which folders are monitored
• destination where files are published
• what days and times files are published
• how files are named.

In addition, users can monitor every phase and detail of the publishing process, including:

• completed jobs and queued projects
• the number and size of files processed
• sizes of source files and published files
• source and destination locations of .3D files
• publishing scheduling.

Fewer problems, greater efficiency

Actify Publisher streamlines how you manage your design files. Instead of going through the time-consuming, tedious steps of manually opening and saving individual files to the .3D file format, Actify Publisher automates the entire process for you. That means you can publish hundreds, or even thousands, of archived files quickly and easily...and know it’s been done right. By automating the entire process, file conversion errors are kept to a minimum—along with your time managing the process. Issues such as misdirected files, incorrectly converted files, overlooked files, and unforeseen delays are no longer a problem.

Increasing Productivity after publishing

Upon .3D publishing, Actify Publisher can send email notifications to anyone you specify. Automated notification eliminates unnecessary delays and downtime, so workers stay productive and on schedule. Additionally, Actify Publisher's scripting functionality can be used to communicate directly with other applications such as document management programs or workflow engines.

Save on software costs

Your enterprise may include a number of SpinFire Professional users.

Instead of requiring each SpinFire Professional installation to have its own importers, now you can centralize. Installing both Actify Publisher and a full complement of importers on a single computer that users share minimizes demands on your budget and staff time.
