Plus, for the price of a single AutoCADŽ license, you can equip about eight PowerCAD workstations.
PowerCAD offers exceptional compatibility with AutoCADŽ, the world's leading CAD system.
PowerCAD incorporates a completely open architecture design, with drag-and-drop placement of system icons making it instantly usable by AutoCADŽ familiar operators and all others too. Its visual menu, dialog, and toolbox editor allows technicians of any skill level to instantly customize the desktop for maximum user productivity.
PowerCAD has over 300 AutoCADŽ compatible commands that require virtually no relearning, allowing for a shared AutoCADŽ/PowerCAD workplace. The software has all of the drawing and editing commands CAD professionals expect. Advanced 2D drawing commands (i.e. trim, fillet, or chamfer) are complemented by sophisticated functions (associative dimensioning and hatching).
Additionally to FLX (native PowerCAD file format) we have added a feature to recover DWG and DXF files in all format versions. You are now independent from AutoCADŽ recover and audit commands.
PowerCAD supports Windows Vista and we have added the ability to run with different user configurations. Desktop settings, print configurations, alias files etc. are now saved for every user.
PowerCAD can define dimension style overrides for the current dimension style. This is useful when you want to create overrides to suppress or change only one or two settings of current dimension style (e.g. use only a different arrow head or dimension text size) without creating a different dimension style. It is the quickest and best way to use override dimensions. The new dimension dialog reflects the new capabilities of the dimension system.
New HTML based Help System
PowerCAD contains a completely renovated help system using the Microsoft CHM help files.
