IMSI/Design is increasing the performance of its AutoCAD work-alike product, 2.5D DoubleCAD XT Pro v3.
"DoubleCAD XT Pro v3 now blazes," says Royal Farros, CEO of IMSI/Design. "Thanks to the powerful Redway rendering engine, Pro v3 now takes advantage of GPU-based graphics cards. We're seeing display speed increase up to 60x — simply exceptional performance."
In addition, DoubleCAD XT Pro v3 now supports scripting.
“We chose a Ruby implementation because it's the modern alternative to LISP, is much easier to use, and has a monster following in the Google SketchUp world,” says Farros. “Anyone familiar with AutoLISP or VB scripting will feel at home with Ruby."
DoubleCAD XT Pro v3 is now available for $695. Upgrades from previous versions are available for $199.99.
