PowerCAD Pro - most comprehensive
functionality
PowerCAD is one of the world's best professional
CAD values. Fast and easy to use, it is designed
for Windows operating systems including Windows
Vista and conforms to industry standard DWG and
DXF files (up to R2008 format), with
"Round-Trip" retention of critical drawing
elements.
Plus, for the price of a single AutoCAD license,
you can equip about eight PowerCAD workstations.
PowerCAD offers exceptional compatibility with
AutoCAD, 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 AutoCAD 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 350 AutoCAD compatible commands that
require virtually no relearning, allowing for a shared
AutoCAD/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 AutoCAD
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.
ACIS Integration and 3D Solid Modeller
PowerCAD Pro includes a 3D Solid Modeler based on the
ACIS-library, the industry standard. Rendering and
line/face hiding is based on the latest OpenGL
standards, reducing the time needed to perform complex
imaging tasks. You can add 3D solid primitives such as
boxes, spheres, cones, cylinders to your drawings. We
have implemented the standard Boolean- functions union,
intersect, subtract, etc. for 3D solid editing. 2D
regions are created with the region command and use the
same solid edition commands. Finally, solids can be
edited by directly accessing faces and edges.
ACIS Developer Interface for LISP and C/C++
Objects
PowerCAD includes an Advanced Programming Interface
(API), supporting system customization using Lisp,
Visual C++, or Delphi to directly access our 3D solid
programming functions for your application development.
PowerCAD allows quick and painless "porting" of existing
code written in AutoLISP, ADS or script files. Menus,
dialog boxes, and palettes created for AutoCAD use are
automatically converted, saving end users thousands of
euros per license for each CAD system purchased.
For developers PowerCAD Pro includes the complete DCL
Dialog language support. AutoCAD Dialogs can be imported
into PowerCAD without further adjustments or editing.
The Lisp and C/C++ interface has been reworked in
Version 7 and is now compatible to AutoCAD.
New HTML based Help System
PowerCAD contains a completely renovated help system
using the Microsoft CHM help files.
