The present progeCAD edition includes a series of new features and tools, offers improved performance and stability, as well as a better usability thanks to an even more intuitive interface. The new software version ensures full integration with the latest Windows 8.1 operating system, being also compatible with earlier Windows 7, XP, 8; and supports all AutoCAD® DWG files from version 2.5 up to v.2014 sparing the necessity of time-consuming file conversion and incompatibility issues. The graphical interface look-and-feel as well as the way you use commands, menus, scripts, fonts, hatches and linetypes immediately recall the AutoCAD® environment, which is no doubt a benefit for a user accustomed to the industry standard software allowing him to get started with no training whatsoever.

Among the most interesting features, one should certainly name: 3D PDF Export, the EasyArch 3D plug-in and the Hatch trim command.       
DWG to 3D PDF Export is an exceptional tool for better communication and sharing of your projects among your colleagues and clients.

Great success for the 80th Philippine Institute of Architects (PIA) National Convention

Our ProgeCAD Philippine partner has participated in this prominent event promoting our software together with “green topics”. For three days last week Cebu City hosted the PIA Convention and around 500 architects visited the city on this occasion.
The meeting theme was “Touching Earth Touching lives” and it focused on ecological and social awareness in design. The Philippine Institute of Architects, the event organiser, grabbed this opportunity to spread the “green culture” to the participants. The convention has become a success thanks to the presence of three notable speakers: Kazuko Sejima, Kundoldibya Panitchpakdi and Doosdee Thaitakoo. They contributed to the event expressing their ideas on “Architecture is environment”, “Sustainable Housing in the Time of Climate Change”  and “Balancing Conservation and Development in Historic Town Centers”. The convention could not certainly overlook the environmental issues the Philippines have been facing, there were a few lectures about sustainable houses and way of balancing conservation on historical places.
Dennis Mayo, director at the Architechy, was full of enthusiasm sharing his impression about the event: “The attendees were very warm and impressed with the progeCAD software”. He also presented our software in one of the main assembly organised by PIA.ProgeCAD is always sensible to friendly environmental topics and the 80th Philippine Institute of Architects National Convention was the best occasion to increase its green attitude.

Soon our Philippine Distributor will be taking part in another exciting event, the UAP CONEX 2013 tradeshow taking place on the 18-20 April 2013, we will keep you updated on further initiatives!
