CAD International turns Japanese

CAD International are happy to announce the opening of a new office in Kanagawa, Japan. Our Japanese office will commence business in mid-January 2012.

Our aim is to extend our CAD presence in the Asian region, expanding our communications and offering our expert CAD advise, training and other CAD related services.

We trust our clients in Japan will be delighted to have local support and sales right at their doorstep, whilst our New Zealand, Australian and Asian clients will have direct contact with CAD International for an additional two hours every work day. Japan is two hours behind head office in Sydney, Australia.

 

DRCAuto Breakthrough

Since CAD International purchased the IP of DRCAuto, we have been working continuously with several programming teams to recover the code from its sabotaged state.

We can now reveal that marked progress has been made. Our program leader has advised that his team are more than 85% closer to full recovery of the software and have an expected ETA for this in early February 2012.

From this point we will be able to build and release full 64Bit and Windows 7 compatible modules and update the code to work with the latest versions of AutoCAD®. Beyond that we hope to also update Smart Architect®

If you have upgraded your AutoCAD®, switched to our Bricscad alternative or have purchased some other software we would love to hear from you so we can update our records and make you an offer when the new DRCAuto products are released.

Bricscad v12 Success

A few weeks ago Bricscad v12 was Officially Released. After several weeks of testing we conclude that Bricscad have done their homework and produced a sensational CAD software that not only competes directly with AutoCAD®, but in 3D is now even better.

This significant release adds powerful geometric and dimensional constraints to all three editions – Classic, Pro, and Platinum – as well as a host of other significant features. With direct modeling, design intent, and 3D constraints, Bricscad becomes the leader in .dwg-based 3D design software. Our only wish now is for the introduction of the ribbon menu.

We ♥ LANDWorksCAD!

LANDWorksCAD has steadily been gaining popularity over time, not only because of its user friendly operation and ease of use, but also for the functionality and hands-on technical support.

Apart from the useful documentation that are included in LANDWorksCAD under the Help menu, we are also creating fresh new video tutorials and LANDWorksCAD support articles to help you to get the most of perhaps the best CAD software for landscape design available in the market.
