A new section has been added to the VX customer support page for downloading addon programs and utilities that automate time consuming and tedious tasks.

These addons have been developed by VX application engineers and customers to address specific customer situations and can be further customised if desired.

The foremost of these programs are written using the VX Design Automation Language, which is ideal for automating either repetitive time-consuming tasks or tedious and complex processes unique to a customer's operations.

All programs are free to download.

Installation is a snap with the installer, which is also available via the new page.

The VX Design Automation Language is an easy to use, powerful programming language that couples its own functions with VX CAD/CAM commands.

The language is very flexible and is ideal for quickly automating repetitive mundane tasks or for programming complete custom applications.

Unlike other CAD/CAM systems that force users to use a separate programming language with degraded performance and a steep learning curve, the VX Design Automation Language works directly with the VX Kernel, delivering the same blisteringly fast response to which VX users are accustomed.

Commenting on the virtues of the VX Design Automation Language, Bob Fischer, VX Vice President Sales and Marketing, said: "VX customers have the means to customise VX by defining knowledge based solutions to their exact requirements".

"Simple automation of repetitive tasks will save time and money, maximising productivity".

"We encourage everyone to visit our new downloads page".
