progeCAD 2010 Professional Supports AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT 2010 Users

Como, Italy (PRWEB) February 8, 2010 — Architects, tradesmen, engineers, designers and drafters considering AutoCAD, Auto CAD LT, or IntelliCAD will be impressed with progeCAD 2010’s unique value proposition: AutoCAD 2010 software compatibility for under USD$400 with online support. Unlike most AutoCAD compatible CAD programs, progeCAD 2010 Professional goes far beyond mere DWG file read/write with dozens of in-depth AutoCAD-like features like gradient hatch pattern and orientation control, an upgraded “fly-out” properties palette, 3D Studio Max 3DS file export, advanced CTB and PDF layer support. Nevertheless, progeCAD’s most inviting feature continues to be its incredibly low price compared to AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT.
“progeCAD 2010 is a tool that helps designers use their PCs in the best and simplest way possible” explains Damiano Croci, progeSOFT Senior director, “Also thanks to Windows 7 and DWG 2010 support”.
More and more engineering and architectural drawings are being saved, archived and distributed on the Adobe PDF format due to its small size, portable secure nature, and free tools available to display with great accuracy the files produced. In recent years the format has been improved with the addition of support for layers within the files produced. ProgeCAD has in the past been able to not only print to PDF, but has the unique ability to import PDF files and convert those files to drawings fully editable from within progeCAD Professional. progeCAD 2010 has improved support for the more recent enhancements of Adobe PDF providing the ability to import, convert, and print to the multilayer PDF format. A designer can receive a PDF from a collaborating partner on a project and is able to import the drawing to progeCAD for editing and additions.

progeCAD 2009 offers powerful interface updates like right-mouse click context menus, improved speed and reliability. AutoCAD LT users should be especially interested in true ACIS 3D modeling, AutoLISP, VBA, and SDS (C++) program extensions – features not supported by AutoCAD LT. The release of progeCAD 2010 Professional will bring the addition of the ability to profile solid models allowing you to display 2d representations of your 3d models.

The Network version of progeCAD 2010 Professional features a new network license manager (NLM) which allows users to check out their licenses and take them with them keeping the software available to them until they return and release the license back to the NLM. This allows users to travel to and from work sites without losing the function of their network licenses while on the trip.

progeCAD’s compatibility with DWG 2010 and earlier drawings, easy-to-use, no learning curve, “AutoCAD Like” user interface, and wealth of features make progeCAD 2010 Professional a truly “professional” platform that is still unbelievably affordable – less than USD $400.00 suggested retail price. The release of progeCAD 2010 Professional comes at a time when just such an affordable, yet robust AutoCAD-compatible drawing program is really needed.

progeCAD 2010 Professional will be available in the following languages: English, German, Italian, Russian, French, Polish, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Serbian, Spanish

Current progeCAD users are reminded that they can upgrade to the latest version at a significant discount to the already-low price of the full version. progeSOFT has improved the progeCAD software registration and activation interface making licensing progeCAD 2010 simple and reliable. Network NLM, USB mobile, and corporate licensing options for the 2010 version are available.

Users are encouraged to download or buy progeCAD from the closest of over 220 local authorized progeSOFT resellers world wide. Refer to progeSOFT North America (http://www.progesoft.us) for local resellers in United States, Canada or Mexico. CADDIT ( http://www.caddit.net/ ) serves Australia, New Zealand and Asia Pacific.

Dwayne Schnell, of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, wins progeCAD in the iCADsales.com Pick-a-Logo contest!

Sept 1st, 2009 – The iCADsales.com Pick-a-Logo Contest, running from June 1st, 2009, through August 31st, 2009, has concluded with the awarding of progeCAD software to the winning contestant.
Along with the major re-design of our website we decided to freshen the look of our logo. Three designs were submitted by a graphic design artist and presented to the iCADsales.com website members. Throughout the summer the contestants voted on the logo they felt would best represent the iCADsales.com company, the progeCAD brand, and the great people who work here.
The results are in and the logo that won was a favorite of 37% of the participants. It features a representation of an eye, with the words CAD and sales in two complimentary modern font styles and colors. An example of the new logo is posted on the header of our website at www.icadsales.com.
It was a very close race however and the other two logos have no reason to hang heads and kick rocks, with the I-beam logo design pulling a 33% return, and the logo incorporating the Drafting Compass coming in with a respectable 30%. One respondent felt all were so good that we should incorporate each into a sort of “super logo”. We tried, seriously, but it just didn’t work for us.
The contest winner walks away with the progeCAD 2009 Professional USB version which will allow him to work on DWG drawings with an interface he has experienced before on multiple computers in multiple locations. He simply takes the dongle to the machine in question and plugs it in to authorize the use of the installed progeCAD program. In addition, he receives the $99.00 USD progeCAD Viewer DWG to allow him to view and mark up DWG drawing files and perform red line markups. The markups can be sent back into progeCAD to allow the full work flow typically utilized in a design office.
The total value of his winnings is near $700.00 USD and more importantly is the opportunity this provides him in continuing to improve his CAD skills and business. He said “I won a seat of ProgeCAD Pro 2009 USB edition!! Woot. Exactly what I need”. “I was just toying with Alibre, to see if it would suit my CAD needs, but it’s stumbling on the main set of DWGs that I will be working on this week. This settles it for me!”
Our short survey during the contest gave us a few good results to pass along. A little more than half of the respondents were those who downloaded our free 30-day trial software, 54% to 46%. A full 75% of the users responding had been using CAD for over 10 years. 4% of the respondents indicated that progeCAD was NOT a good replacement for AutoCAD… We conclude that the results of that question mean that 96% of the respondents taking our survey don’t work for Autodesk.
Our thanks to all who participated. We had such a good time running the contest you can bet we will be having another soon.
