ZWCAD Updates Version 2008

By DE Editors

ZWSOFT (New York;                          ) released ZWCAD 2008i, an update to its 2D/3D CAD package that is available to both current ZWCAD 2008 licensees and new ZWCAD users.

ZWCAD 2008 is described as a comprehensive, low-cost CAD system, compatible with AutoCAD, enabling users to open, edit, and save DWG/DXF files created in AutoCAD (2.5-2008), without the need for manual import or export operations. The improvement of ZWCAD2008i includes overall performance, gradient hatch, image function with TIFF/TIF file as well as more DRX.

Editing actions to drawn objects in the ZWCAD environment, such as Copy, Move, Rotate, Scale, Array, Wblock, Copyclip and Mirror, have increased speed in 2008i. The release says that many of functions are twice as fast in the new update.

Along with many improvements to hatch boundary search in the 2008 version of ZWCAD, 2008i goes further by allowing you to make one or two color gradient hatch.

An addition to the DRX programming interface in ZWCAD2008, the new Custom Object function makes developing custom applications easier.

Designers, engineers, and architects can discover the improved power and function of ZWCAD 2008i by downloading a free trial of the application at www.zwcad.org.   Current users of ZWCAD 2008 can update to the new update for free.

ZWCAD 2008i runs on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista. ZWCAD costs only a fraction of the price of AutoCAD, while offering similar functionality and full DWG compatibility.
