Autodsys Announces AcceliCAD 2008 V2

Portland, Oregon — Autodsys, Inc. (http://www.autodsys.com/) today announced  AcceliCAD 2008 V2, the next generation of the CAD platform that redefines the cost/benefit relationship.

“Having released AcceliCAD 2008 only three months ago, Autodsys is obviously working hard to improve ease-of-use of our flagship product”, said Ronald Prepchuk, President of Autodsys, Inc. “We will continue to add innovative features while maintaining compatibility with industry standards” he added.

Key enhancements in AcceliCAD 2008 V2:

• Full Compatibility with AutoCAD 2008 DWG file formats
• Batch plotting interface allows the plotting of multiple drawings and layouts in one step. Different paper sizes, scales, and pen settings can be applied to each plot. Each batch plot set can be saved to a file for reuse the next time a set of printouts is required.
• System variable editor puts all of the drawing and system settings in one place with tooltips and help strings to make it easier to understand each setting. Configurations can be imported and exported to disk so that they can be transferred between drawings or different computers to improve compliance with office standards
• Enhanced attribute editing with the new EATTEDIT command
• Enhanced block creation with the new BBLOCK command
• New Toolbar pull-down for setting viewport scale
• New commands BTRIM and BEXTEND accept blocks as boundaries for trimming and extending entities
• New objects snap “FROM” locates entities relative to a point

This is in addition to the many enhancements included with the original 2008 release:

• Quick dimensioning feature will dimension an entire part or plan in one easy step. Methods supported include continuous, baseline, staggered, ordinate, radius, and datum point.
• Dimension-driven editing, allowing a user to modify a dimension and see the object change to match the new dimension.
• Entity information window that displays relevant information about an object when the user places the cursor over it. This feature also works with ArchT objects to display the object type, style, and size.
• Snapping to model-space entities from paper-space viewports
• Polar angle tracking
• Floating prompt menus that put command options right at the cursor location
• Heads-up keyboard entry that allows angles, distances and text to be entered without looking at the keyboard.

AcceliCAD 2008 V2 will be released August 31, 2007
