Feature per Month program

This month's new feature is Print Area: this allows you to print parts of a document selectively. The File Menu now includes a Print Area entry which you can use to set and clear the print area. Simply define the area you want to print by dragging a selection rectangle - a dotted rectangle indicates the print area. Print preview will show how the print area will look. You can remove the print area by selecting File | Print Area | Clear.

Web-Based Applications - Stardraw.net

Software provider Stardraw.com is to launch the world's first web-based CAD system. Stardraw.net is a tool that allows one to design and document integrated systems through a browser using an on-line library of over 30,000 industry-specific symbols. Stardraw.net represents the introduction of web-based technology that incorporates tools and data for all of the niche markets addressed by Stardraw's conventional software packages.


Stardraw MD David Snipp explains "Our conventional applications have established the sorts of tools that integrators find easy to use and valuable for system design and documentation.  The web-enabled applications have been written from the ground up to provide comparable functionality, but they are designed to run within a web page.  This is brand new technology and Stardraw is proud to be the first company to our knowledge anywhere in the world to offer full CAD capability via the web.  It's a significant development and we're very excited by it."


Snipp continued, "We are showing these new applications to manufacturers and other corporate clients who are looking for flexible, scalable, custom software solutions.  The beauty of a centralised, web-delivered application is that itıs very easy to maintain and update, and it can link to realtime data like pricing, stock levels and special offers.  Our first custom web-based application, PanelBuilder, which went live on the RCI Custom website last month has already been a huge hit."


In addition to the new web-based technology, Stardraw will also be showing their full range of traditional "shrink-wrapped" products for the pro audio and lighting industry, specifically Stardraw Lighting 2D, Stardraw Professional, Stardraw Audio and Stardraw AV.


Samples of custom web-based applications can be seen and used at www.stardraw.com
