progeCAD German Version Offers Improved AutoCAD Compatibility

progeSOFT in partnership with CADDIT and N.W.S. Germany announced the German translation release of progeCAD 2009 Professional CAD design software. Designers, engineers and architects accustomed to AutoCAD, Auto CAD LT or IntelliCAD can compare the cost-for-feature value free for 30 days.

Como, Italy (PRWEB) May 27, 2009 — Unlike most AutoCAD compatible CAD software, progeCAD 2009 far exceeds simple DWG file compatibility with special features like Google Earth export, PDF conversion, Quick-Dimensioning (“QDIM”) and even an updated spell checker. Now German users enjoy the convenience of using progeCAD design commands in native German language.

AutoCAD LT users will see familiar with features like paper space layout “print area visualization” and support for DIESEL expressions along with full DWG file compatibility – but at a fraction of the cost. progeCAD also supports true ACIS 3D model editing, AutoLISP and SDS program extensions – features not supported by most versions of AutoCAD LT. progeCAD’s extensive DWG block collection library and manager has been extended with more CAD symbols. progeCAD’s new “Advanced Data Extraction” wizard guides users in easily sharing block information with applications like Microsoft Excel. Other enhancements include new “one-click” text editing, an interactive “purge” command window and one-click entity grouping.

progeCAD Professional 2009 German includes eTransmit , eSnap-from, Asiatic font, ECW, O2C, SVG XML file support and basic raster-to-vector conversion software. progeCAD’s “Express Tools” CAD design pack, easy-to-use attribute editing and “Find and Replace” text and attribute search make “progeCAD Professional – German version” a truly “professional” platform that is quite affordable – less than 300 Euros.

The German Translation of progeCAD demonstrates a significant effort in quality over similar German design software. Great care was taken to use technical terminology which German CAD users would be familiar with. An additional, full German help file will be released to all users later this year. Network NLM, USB mobile and corporate licensing options for the 2009 German version are available as well.

progeCAD is now used successfully by thousands of companies around the world like Honda, Q8, ABB, Holcim, Indus Motor and Schneider Electric in industries like building design and architecture, machine and mechanical design, furniture and appliances, industrial layout and production planning and more. “progeCAD 2009 – German version” helps German innovation to continue, but at a price more appropriate to the current economic climate.
