Molnet och Dropbox i nya versionen av lågprisalternativet ProgeCAD

Hårt satsande lågprisalternativet till AutoCAD, ProgeCAD, har släppt en ny version – 2016. Den är fullt kompatibelt med AutoCAD 2016 och Windows 8.1. 

– Men den nya versionen av ProgeCAD är allmänt fullmatad med nyheter, t ex stöd för Microsoft One, Google Drive och Dropbox. Här finns också ny avancerad solidhantering och dynamisk inmating och UCS, säger Hans Engström på Eurocitydata.

En viktig bit i nya ProgeCAD är molnet.
– Med ProgeCAD Moln blir det enkelt att komma åt ritningar var man än befinner sig, säger Engström. Det är också ett optimalt sätt att dela ritningar inom arbetsgruppen och med kunderna, ProgeCAD Moln stödjer de vanligaste molntjänsterna för fildelning och synkronisering som Dropbox, Google Drive och Microsoft One Drive. ProgeCAD:s konfigurationsinställningar sparas i molnet och kan enkelt exporteras till en annan PC.
Dynamisk inmatning. När det gäller nyheten med dynamisk inmatning så är det ett alternativt sätt att ange kommandon genom en kommandorad vid hårkorset. Man kan ange data som en längd för en linje eller en radie för en cirkelmed dynamisk visning av ändringar relativt musens rörelser. När dynamisk inmatning är påslagen visas dynamiskt uppdaterad information bredvid markören. När ett kommando pågår kan du ange alternativ och värden i textrutan. Man kan också konfigurera den dynamiska inmatningen till sin egen eller företagets standard.
– Denna funktion är till för att ytterligare öka produktiviteten genom att göra ritandet och redigerandet ännu mer effektivt, säger Engström.

ProgeSOFT unveils progeCAD 2016 Professional, the new edition of the cost-efficient general-purpose CAD platform

Today ProgeSOFT is excited to announce the most eagerly awaited new release of the company’s main product, progeCAD 2016 Professional, a 2D/3D DWG/DXF-native CAD platform fully compatible with AutoCAD® and other CAD programs supporting DWG/DXF file formats.

progeCAD 2016 Professional, the software for advanced technical drawing acknowledged by the CAD professionals in need of the DWG environment, offers in its new edition DWG compatibility with AutoCAD® DWG files versions up to 2016. Thanks to Cloud technology integrated with progeCAD 2016, the level of collaboration and data sharing has been dramatically enhanced. The Cloud integration  allows the CAD operator to save and open drawings on a Cloud station enabling access to projects literally from everywhere you want and to anyone you need to design, view and revise. The new version is also showcasing the Dynamic input feature as an alternative way to specify coordinates in the drawing area and a rethink of GUI, inviting Users to assess the interface new graphics, welcoming colours and by far more user-friendly and appealing look-and-feel. The user interface by all means remains familiar containing all the drawing and editing commands and tools of the industry standard CAD software. Then there are the scores of fixes of the former listed bugs and glitches like solid extrusion, zoom, ortho and object snaps just to name a few which are to gratify the User of the 2016 release.

Listed below are the main new features of the progeCAD 2016 edition:

  • Dynamic input, a command line interface at your crosshair to enter commands and coordinates with interactive display of changes; configurable according to your personal or company standards.
  • Dynamic UCS, to speed up 3D modelling this feature automatically creates a temporary plane to draw on, so you don’t need to constantly specify a new UCS to change views.
  • Cloud integration. Enhance collaboration and simplify teamwork through an easy reach to your drawings! progeCAD Cloud supports the major cloud services for file sharing and syncing like DropBox, Google Drive and Microsoft One Drive.
  • Advanced Solid grips, enriched 3D editing through the grips. Select and drag black squares of grips on a 3D model to alter the shape and size of primitive solids. The change of one parameter will maintain the overall solid shape by automatically updating other parameters.
  • 3D Ortho. Classic X,Y Ortho snap modes have been beefed up by orthogonal snap mode for the Z-axis, restricting cursor movement not only to horizontal and vertical, but also in the up and down directions.
  • Annotative objects, the feature automates the sizing of annotations such as text(single and multi-line), dimensions, hatches, tolerances, blocks and block attributes in multiple viewports with varying scales. The annotative objects are scaled based on the current annotation scale setting and are automatically displayed at the correct size.
  • Drawing Fields. Save time and improve accuracy using fields to automate the insertion of titleblock text or other annotations in a drawing, especially, when this text occurs repeatedly like it is in case of the current date, the drafter’s initials, the company name and address etc.
  • ARCTEXT, the command enables text alignment along an existing arc object, very handy when adding complex curved text in drawings.
  • Breakline, the command line creates a breakline, a polyline including a breakline symbol, by specifying two points and the location of the breakline symbol between them. You can control the relative size and appearance of the breakline symbol and the extension of the polyline beyond the selected start and end points.
  • PDF/A Print. Create PDF files compliant with the PDF/A Standard often requested by official institutions and public administrations and used for long-term archiving.
  • Change Space, the CHSPACE command to move or copy entities from Model Space to Paper Space or the other way round very quickly and easily. Entities are also scaled by the viewport scale to come out in the correct size.
  • Draw order advanced tools, control of draw order of CAD entities through a new toolbar.
  • Autocomplete command mode. Enhanced command line input assisted by a list or auto completion of commands and system variables as they are being typed.

As commented by Marco Lucini, director for ProgeSOFT SA: “progeCAD Professional is designed to make the draftsman efficient and precise at the most competitive price. With the new 2016 edition the program takes another step forward to be in line with the technology at the cutting edge. This surely has to do with Cloud integration, the functionality in high demand in the market, as well as Dynamic input implementation, the most requested by our users feature. Our little CAD package is getting ever more complete, intuitive and easy-to-use to serve you and your productivity.”

progeCAD Architecture 2014: an advanced powerful BIM solution for parametric Architectural design

ProgeCAD is proud to unveil the new progeCAD Architecture 2014 version, the CAD software program incorporating the cutting edge BIM technology and fully compatible with AutoCAD®.
progeCAD Architecture 2014 is an ideal tool for advanced Architectural design offering the user a winning combination of general-purpose CAD features and sophisticated functionality of the Building Information Modelling system along with the incontestable advantage of the DWG environment. The program is now faster, more efficient and precise to create building models at the most competitive price.

IFC 2×3 file format import and export and multiple Viewport creation are for sure two of the most exciting novelties of the new progeCAD Architecture 2014 version that are to enhance the design process by adding greater flexibility. The support of the IFC file format, the standard object-based file format with a data model for better exchange of architectural projects, will contribute to full compatibility with other BIM applications such as Allplan®, Revit®, ArchiCAD®. The IFC format allows to import and export building data, including such complex objects as stairs and roofs, significantly reducing data loss. Creating multiple Viewports on one Layout with the possibility to separately handle visualization options will speed up the creation of unique views of a project and facilitate print layout management.

progeCAD Architecture 2014 is a 2D/3D DWG-native CAD software application, fully compatible with  AutoCAD® and other CAD programs supporting DWG/DXF/IFC file formats. 3D design with progeCAD Architecture is even faster and easier than 2D drawing in a generic CAD application such as AutoCAD® or progeCAD Professional. The program optimizes projects creation by making the building design phases easy and straightforward: from modelling to rendering, and up to interactive virtual tours of a model. Besides, progeCAD Architecture 2014 is compatible with the Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 operating systems supporting even the latest Windows 8.1 OS with significant engine performance improvement. The intuitive GUI is quite familiar as it includes all drawing and editing commands and tools of the generic industry standard CAD software. The 2014 version is also showcasing the following new features:

  • Single hided roofs of any shape defined by polylines
  • Render engine and material compatibility improvement
  • Print improvement with Plot options support
  • Insertion of X-Refs with Solid ACIS
  • Changes in the default values ​​of some parameters or commands to ensure compatibility with the latest AutoCAD® versions (like in Tolerances and MText)
  • Changes allowing plot preview and settings display even with no printer selected
  • Background colour support in MText (through the Property Panel)

Click here to watch a Video presentation of  the new features of progeCAD Architecture 2014.

Owing to the fact that progeCAD Architecture integrates the BIM technology, the user operates directly on a 3D model, that ensures the speed of execution and editing as well as great creative freedom during the process of modelling. It is possible to insert complex parametric objects (such as doors, windows, roofs, stairs, 2D/3D furnishing) directly in a 3D model observing their interaction and transformation in real time. Immediate visualization of all modifications in 2D and 3D dramatically saves up time and reduces errors when revising a project.

Alongside with the generic CAD features and architectural intelligent BIM components, progeCAD Architecture provides the tools typical of the advanced DWG environment, such as: ACIS 3D solid modelling, advanced rendering, animation creation, CTB and STB print files support, free 2D and 3D block libraries. The architectural design is further assisted through complete image management with high quality photorealistic rendering, 3D/4D smooth animation, as well as material maps and topographic components.

Damiano Croci, CEO for ProgeCAD, comments: “The release of progeCAD Architecture 2014 is an important milestone on the way to developing an architectural BIM program ever more complete, intuitive and easy-to-use, designed to increase your productivity and efficiency by reducing design time and allowing to minimize errors when preparing construction documentation.”

ProgeCAD invites everybody to test the new release by downloading a 30-day fully functional trial version of progeCAD Architecture 2014 here.
