The current version of 3D PartStream.NET® includes the following enhancements.
Suppliers can now use 3D ProductPage to localize end user web sites in as many as thirteen languages, including the display of all dynamic data for which translations are provided.
Use the ProductPage Administrator to enable localization and select the languages to support. The end user selects a preferred language on entry to the web page.
You can now use the 3D ProductPage to select the number of columns used to display categories, set header height, and turn header and search frames on or off. You can also customize the Search, Header, and other parts of ProductPage.
You can now enable access to single models or categories without providing full web site access.
3D ProductPage Administrator now allows site builders to configure registration so that login is required either at entry to the site or on a download request.
Use the syntax shown on the My URL tab in ProductPage to set up links to models or categories.
The PartStream API now returns default values for all range parameters. This enables the correct specification of limiting values for other dependent range or choice value parameters.
You can now use the same name for categories at different levels of the category hierarchy.
You can now keep one or more categories off-line (i.e., not visible to end users). Administrators can update and improve models in off-line categories until they are ready to go live.
To take advantage of this feature, configure 3D ProductPage to use the "Read only" service User.
The View Site tab on the 3D ProductPage Administrator is now labeled View Site in Admin Mode. In Admin Mode you see all categories including any that are off-line (hidden).
All view/download requests to PartStream are now cached automatically, including configurations with system-generated as well as user-assigned names and models whose drawings are generated automatically. Automatic caching provides a significant performance improvement for cases that fit these scenarios.
