Feature per Month program
This month's new feature is Cable Labelling:
this enhancement to the Cable and Dogleg tools allows
you to show start and end labels on your drawing.
Start and end labels exist as attributes within cable
objects and this new feature adds text to the lines that
represent cables so that it's easy to identify every
interconnection in your system.
You can get this important new feature at no cost if you have a
current subscription for your Stardraw product. Follow a link
to download this feature using Stardraw LiveUpdate.
Important Note: the Feature per Month program is
available only to current subscribers of Stardraw Audio, Stardraw AV,
Stardraw Lighting 2D and Stardraw Radio, and is delivered using LiveUpdate.
If the machine you're currently working with has its Stardraw dongle in place,
follow the link to check your subscription status.
To renew a lapsed subscription, catch up on symbols updates and
qualify for the Feature per Month program please contact your
local Stardraw representative or e-mail sales@stardraw.com
As promised, new features will be added to Stardraw every month,
prioritized, wherever possible, by what you want. As far as we
know, Stardraw is the only application that can respond so quickly
to your requests. Please let us know what new features you
want by filling out our User Survey
VTG Corp Unveils NetCAD at NAMM
 VTG
Corp chose summer NAMM to unveil their new
application NetCAD. Based on the Stardraw.net engine, NetCAD
is a webservice that allows users to design, configure
and order custom connection and control panels. The application
will be delivered through the websites of daughter companies Horizon
Music and Rapco.
NetCAD comprises a drag-and-drop interface linked to a complete library
of all of Rapco's and Horizon Music's panel products so the user simply
selects the panel he or she wants, drags on the connectors that are
needed, and sets engraving, finishes, artwork and so on. The resultant
design is linked in realtime via XML to sophisticated backoffice
systems. Once the design is complete, a separate pop-up
report delivers an instant quote.
The benefits of this technology are clear. Customers can design,
price and order custom panels in seconds, twenty-four hours a day, seven
days a week, without having to wait for any third party input. From the
user's point of view all the guesswork is taken out of the process
which improves efficiency enormously. According to Stardraw.com's
CEO David Snipp this is undoubtedly the way of the
future. “Many people are talking about webservices
right now, but few really understand their potential,
and even fewer have delivered useful, working systems.
Stardraw.net changes all that because it is a fully
customizable platform that can integrate with any other
system via XML. Integration of information is the key to
delivering tools that add real value and NetCAD, powered
by Stardraw.net, is another great example of how we have
created an elegant, efficient and cost effective
solution for a forward-thinking client."
Manufacturers
Endorse Stardraw Weblink
After the launch of Stardraw Weblink only last month, manufacturers
are showing support for the new service that allows linkage of
Stardraw product symbols to any online data. Already, industry leaders
including Audio-Technica U.S., BSS and TOA have
enrolled in the Weblink program and are using it to exploit the
power of the internet.
How Stardraw Weblink Works
Symbols of products are distributed with Stardraw applications to a global userbase.
Stardraw Weblink lets a manufacturer embed links to ANY
information available via the internet. Web pages, PDFs,
databases, technical
data, sales and
marketing information can all be accessed thanks to this service,
and once a link is in place, it is instantly available to all
Stardraw users everywhere. With Stardraw Weblink you
are only one click away from comprehensive product information.
