ZWCAD 2009 reduces drafting time

Paul Boughton
ZWCAD Software is releasing ZWCAD 2009. With native DWG format compatibility, ZWCAD 2009 is said to simplify drafting through dramatic improvements in its working efficiency.

ZWCAD 2009 increases the working efficiency of designers in a variety of ways. To assure greater stability, many functions have been rewritten. For example, the new automated backup function protects users from unexpected crashes by the operating system. To ensure stability, engineers carried out strict debugging using an automated test system, through which ZWCAD 2009 was tested with more than 20,000 drawings repeatedly.

Continued improvement in speed contributes to the higher efficiency of ZWCAD users. Overall performance has been improved in a large number of crucial functions, such as Refedit, Insert, Pasteclip, Explode, Regen, Stretch, Trim, and Extend.

Thanks to the improved Undo\Redo and the addition of new functions like the Aerial View window, etransmit command, jogged and arc length dimensions, filters, and multiple grips editing, designers can complete their projects with ZWCAD 2009 more easily and efficiently.

In addition, ZWCAD 2009 provides a powerful platform for professional application developers. The improved DRX programming interface (similar to ARX in Autocad) enables design professionals to expand ZWCAD 2009 and develop their applications with greater efficiency.

Truman Du, CEO of ZWSOFT, states: "ZWCAD 2009 was produced with the impressive effort of our 150 software engineers and with many valuable suggestions of our partners and ZWCAD users. This milestone version as a whole enables designers to create drawings quickly and easily with considerable cost savings."

ZWCAD 2009 English is available now as a free download. In the following months, six versions in Czech, German, Japanese, Polish, Russian, and Spanish will also be implemented.
