Stardraw Announces Support for AutoCAD 2004/2005

One of the factors that make Stardraw's subscription-based products such invaluable tools for systems integrators is that that since the beginning, Stardraw has focussed on support for all versions of AutoCAD from version 2.5 up. Only a matter of weeks ago, Autodesk launched AutoCAD 2005, and Stardraw is pleased to announce that already, all of their subscription-based applications have been upgraded to support it.

Support is bi-directional, which means that you can read and edit any .DWG version and save to any .DWG version. This enhancement represents a total rewrite of Stardraw's DWG engine. Indeed, improvements may be noticed in earlier versions of DWG files, and among the numerous advances is the addition of support for TrueType fonts.

According to marketing director Rob Robinson, it was crucial that Stardraw implement support for AutoCAD's latest release as quickly as possible. “Full compatibility with AutoCAD in both directions is an important part of the value we offer systems integrators. It allows them to communicate and exchange information with architects and planners quickly and easily, because nothing is more frustrating than finding that you can't read the data you have been given, or that you are unable to export in the required version. As ‘integration' is a key part of what we do, we therefore felt it vital to react in a timely fashion to AutoCAD's latest release so that all of our subscribers can benefit.”

Holders of a current subscription can profit from this major upgrade for free as part of Stardraw's regular feature update program.

Ends.
