ProgeCAD 2007 Professional now edits and saves AutoCAD 2007 drawings.
progeSoft has announced an unprecedented breakthrough for the progeSoft version of IntelliCAD.
progeCAD 2007 Professional now edits and saves AutoCAD 2007 drawings.
progeSoft 2007 Professional can open, read, and allow you to edit drawings created with all versions of AutoCAD.
In addition, progeCAD 2007 Professional provides compatibility by providing an "AutoCAD like" icon menu, AutoLISP compatibility, VBA, the same fonts, scripts, and a command list you are used to working with, at one-tenth the price.
"progeSoft has opened the world to AutoCAD 2007 drawings while easing the migration to a lower cost, AutoCAD compatible, CAD software package".
"We have provided a major step forward for the IntelliCAD community", said Damiano Croci, progeSoft.
In addition, designers will also be able to use the new express toolbar, convert PDF to DWG, as well as printing to the JPG graphic standard.
progeCAD 2007 Professional also allows editing blocks directly within drawings, a new advanced attribute editing command, polar snapping, and a more "AutoCAD like" design interface.
The AutoCAD DWG 2007 support within progeCAD 2007 Professional will allow designers to lower their CAD software and training budget while still supporting the processes they are currently using.
CAD users can open the same drawings, run the same menus and commands, and get off the ground running by utilising the compatibility of progeCAD 2007 Professional at one-tenth the price.
Designers can import their Adobe Acrobat PDF files and convert them into a drawings they can edit and save.
PDF is a universal file storage and viewing application used by thousands of users worldwide.
CAD Users will now be able to acquire images from documentation, catalogs, brochures, user manuals etc and convert them to AutoCAD DWG Drawing files.
The new advanced attribute editor gives you more control over attributes, allowing changes to every property associated with attributes within blocks, without needing to recreate the blocks.
In addition, progeCAD 2007 Professional now offers editing of blocks directly from inside the drawing, no need to open the blocks to edit them.
The new interface more closely matches what AutoCAD designers are used to using.
A new UCS Icon design: "AutoCAD like" icon and text menu, even the layout of toolbars and command line are designed to minimise the impact of migrating to a new CAD system.
"This release breaks new ground by opening the AutoCAD 2007 format drawings to designers, drafters, engineers and architects".
"Companies now locked into their vendor's software have a choice, a choice to save thousands of dollars without affecting productivity", said Scott Hucke, President, progeSoft North America.
