Where Rasterex sits when you compare the options.
Most teams are not choosing between viewers. They are choosing how much drawing technology to build, test and maintain themselves. These pages set out the trade-off honestly, one alternative at a time.
Read every comparison from the same starting point.
An embeddable canvas and SDK for technical drawings. It runs inside the customer's product, on the customer's infrastructure.
Not a hosted consumer viewer, not a UI kit, and not a place people leave your system to open a file.
Your interface, your data, your identity, your hosting and your workflow. We supply the drawing engine underneath.
PDF, DWG, DGN, IFC, images, MS Office and 100+ formats through one integration.
