CMS Standard saves fabricators considerable time cleaning up DSTV files by allowing users to either batch process, adjust these files or to create DSTV files that are specifically compatible with the CNC machine used. CMS standard is available standalone or can be used in conjunction with plug-ins to Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, AutoCAD and MBS.

Free CMS Viewer
CMS Viewer allows users to view and verify the exact content of structural steel component DSTV- NC files (nc1).
CMS Viewer provides both a 2D/3D graphical representation as well as the standard text format representation of DSTV and nc1 files within the same interface, which facilitates communication and collaboration between structural steel detailers, drafters and fabricators.
CMS Viewer enables graphical scrolling through DSTV files in a browser like interface, allowing users to rapidly view contents of any number of files in the same directory.
With CMS users can check dimensions, view details such as holes, patterns, and cutting angles, and rotate the part to view it from any angle. The DSTV text view is interlinked with the graphical view, thus any element that is highlighted in one view is highlighted in the other.
