PowerCAD Pro 5.2 is a major update to the flagship computer aided design software system.
PowerCAD Pro 5.2 is a major update to the flagship computer aided design (CAD) software system, which allows designers, drafters, architects, engineers, manufacturers, constructors and educators to affordably create, manage and share 2D and 3D designs and digital blueprints using Windows desktop, laptop and XP tablet computers Retailing for $495, PowerCAD Pro users can create professional quality two- and three-dimensional CAD designs and digital blueprints for less than 20% of the cost of competing systems such as AutoCAD, by Autodesk
Featuring selectable PowerCAD or AutoCAD style interfaces and the ability to directly share data in DWG, DXF, DWFT and FLX file formats, PowerCAD Pro 5.2 can be quickly and easily implemented as a low-cost alternative or companion system to AutoCAD and other more expensive systems which use these industry-standard CAD formats.
"We continue to dispel the notion that high-performance, industry-compatible CAD needs to cost over $3000 per licence", said Bill Walton, President and CEO of GiveMePower.
"Our new PowerCAD Pro does everything that most CAD users and developers will ever need for a fraction of the cost of the big guys, doing it faster and easier using standard desktop, laptop and XP tablet computers".
New productivity enhancing tools in PowerCAD Pro 5.2 include: high-speed operation on Windows desktop, laptop and XP tablet computers; new FxRay photorealistic 3D rendering and animation system with definable materials, textures and lighting; new simplified data entry system with support for on-site, as-built drawing creation using Leica Distot Pro and Hilti PD 25/28 portable laser measuring devices connected to laptop or XP tablet computers; enhanced ability to directly open and save drawings in industry-standard DWG, DXF and FLX file formats; new DWF (Design Web Format) file export for easy sharing of smaller data files across the web; enhanced raster file importing, with support for BMP, JPG, PNG and TIF format digital photos and scanned images; and perfectly synced companion for PowerCAD CE mobile/wireless handheld CAD solutions.
Other PowerCAD Pro 5.2 features include nearly 350 standard and advanced 2D/3D design, drafting and visualisation functions, redlining and markup tools with exclusive VoiceNote audio note-keeping, and unlimited system customisation using built-in visual interface editing tools and Lisp, C++ and Delphi application programming interfaces.
PowerCAD Pro 5.2 is the foundation for GiveMePower's complete line of design, viewing and markup solutions which includes PowerCAD CE - the world's only full-featured 2D and 3D CAD system for Windows CE-based pocket PCs, handheld PCs, pocket PC cellphones and Windows CE tablets.
For a limited time, PowerCAD Pro 5.2 can be purchased for $445, or as an eight-pack for $2995.
Each licence includes the software on CD and anytime download, 90-days of free support, and a bonus PowerSymbols CD ($99 value) containing more than 7000 high-quality 2D and 3D architectural, structural, industrial and electronic symbols.
PowerCAD Pro 5.2 is available for immediate purchase or free 30-day trial.
