progeCAD Selected Editor’s Pick of the Week by Desktop Engineering

DUBLIN, NEW HAMPSHIRE, USA — Desktop Engineering (deskeng.com) announces that progeCAD USA’s (Clackamas, OR) general-purpose, AutoCAD-like 2D and 3D design application progeCAD 2010 Professional was selected as its Editor’s Pick of the Week for September 1, 2010.
“progeCAD Professional is an AutoCAD-like application. It can handle DWG files easily and that it offers commands, interfaces, ‘feel,’ and functionality that should make it readily accessible to seasoned AutoCAD users,” says Anthony J. Lockwood, editor at large for Desktop Engineering. “It’s a low-cost, general-purpose 2D and 3D design CAD system appropriate for concept sketches to MCAD layout.”
“The pitch that progeCAD USA uses is that progeCAD is an AutoCAD-like application at far less cost,” explains Lockwood. “That’s true as far as I can tell. But I actually think that progeCAD is a productivity enhancement system.”
“Its cost enables you to spread AutoCAD-like functionality around your company relatively inexpensively,” concludes Lockwood. “The hour here, the day there it can save you could return your investment in no time flat and that effect can be the one little thing that gets you to market more quickly.”Read the complete Editor’s Pick of the Week at “Low-Cost CAD System Improved.”

Deutsche progeCAD Version bietet verbesserte AutoCAD Kompatibilität

Como-Italien, 30. März 2010: In Zusammenarbeit mit progeSOFT, gibt Nexway die Vorankündigung der Markteinführung der deutschen Überarbeitung von progeCAD 2010 Professional bekannt. Nexway unterstützt den geplanten Launch für Juni 2010 schon jetzt. Sie erhalten nach dem Erwerb der derzeitig verfügbaren Version progeCAD 2009 Professional kostenlos ein Update der progeCAD 2010 Professional ab dem ersten Erscheinungstag.

progeCAD 2010 ist voll kompatibel mit Windows 7 und DWG 2010. Designer, Konstrukteure und Architekten, die mit AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT oder IntelliCAD vertraut sind, haben die Möglichkeit, den Nutzwert der Software für 30 Tage kostenlos zu testen. Im Gegensatz zur meisten AutoCAD ähnlichen CAD-Software übertrifft progeCAD 2010 einfache DWG-Dateiformat Kompatibilität mit speziellen Funktionen wie Google Earth Export, PDF Konvertierung, Abstufung, Quick-Dimensioning („QDIM“) und eine verbesserte Rechtschreibprüfung bei weitem. Deutsche Benutzer haben jetzt auch den Komfort, progeCAD Designbefehle in Ihrer deutschen Muttersprache zu verwenden.

AutoCAD LT Benutzer werden vertraute Programmfunktionen wie die „Plotbereich-Visualisierung“ des Papierbereichs und Unterstützung für DIESEL Ausdrücke vorfinden, kombiniert mit voller DWG-Datei Kompatilität – zu einem Bruchteil der Kosten. progeCAD unterstützt ebenfalls echte ACIS 3D Bearbeitung, AutoLISP und SDS Programmerweiterungen – Funktionen, die in den meisten AutoCAD LT Versionen nicht zu finden sind. Die umfangreichen DWG-Block Bibliotheken und dazugehörige Manager in progeCAD wurden mit zusätzlichen CAD-Symbolen erweitert. Der neue „Erweiterte Assistent zur Datenextrahierung“ führt den Benutzern sicher und einfach durch den Prozess, Block-Daten in Applikationen wie z. Bsp. Microsoft Excel zu veröffentlichen. Zusätzliche Erweiterungen schließen „One-Klick“ Textbearbeitung, ein interaktives „BEREINIGEN“ Befehlsfenster und Elementgruppierung per Mausklick ein.

ProgeCAD Professional 2010 Deutsch bietet ebenfalls eTransmit, eSnap, Unterstützung asiatischer Zeichensätze, ECW, O2C, SVG XML Dateiformatsunterstützung und grundlegende Pixel-zu-Vektor Konvertierung Funktionalität. Die “Express-Werkzeuge” des progeCAD Designpakets, die einfache Bearbeitung von Attributen und die “Suchen und Ersetzen” Funktion von Texten und Attributen macht progeCAD Professional 2010 Deutsch zu einer professionellen Lösung, die darüber hinaus mit einem Verkaufspreis von weniger als 243.00 Euro (ohne MwSt) äußerst kostengünstig ausfällt.

progeSOFT supports the humanitarian work of the Norwegian Refugeee Council

progeSOFT is supporting the humanitarian work of the Norwegian Refugeee Council, NRC, with licenses of the recently released progeCAD 2010 drawing software.

“Having a partner who understands and supports the work we are doing in countries with millions of displaced people and being able to use the professional drawing software progeCAD 2010 helping us to build better houses and schools is of great value to us. We and the beneficiaries of our work are very glad to all the support given by progeSOFT.” Martin Suvatne, Shelter Adviser, NRC.

progeSOFT believes in the importance of cooperate social responsibility in today’s global business. The state of the art software products produced can also help countries and people hit by conflict and crisis on their way to recovery. Today’s humanitarian organizations are professionally run using advanced technology and management in order to operate in very challenging environments. But with more than 45 million displaced people worldwide the needs are immense and every Euro spend on equipment and software is one Euro less spend on direct assistance. This is way progeSOFT is providing enough progeCAD 2010 licenses so that NRC can provide more adequate housing to people in need.

NRC is an independent, humanitarian non-governmental organization providing assistance, protection and durable solutions to refugees and internally displaced persons worldwide. With more than 2600 staff in around 20 countries in Africa, Asia, America and Europe it provides assistance on five core activities:
• Building of homes and schools
• Camp management and camp planning
• Distribution of food and non-food relief items
• Information, counseling and legal assistance
• Education in Emergencies

As of today progeCAD 2010 is NRC’s proficient tool for construction and rehabilitation programs in Burundi, the Democratic Republic Congo, East Timor, Georgia, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Lebanon, Liberia, Somalia, Sudan, Uganda, Myanmar (Burma), the occupied Palestinian Territories and Pakistan.

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.
