The new way of CAD! progeCAD 2010 is the 2D/3D, native
DWG format, professional CAD solution from
progeSOFT. See below the list of
some of the main key features available. High compatibility with
AutoCAD *
(Professional Only)
progeCAD’s original format is DWG. This
ensures unrivaled compatibility with AutoCAD® without any need
for file conversion or any danger of information loss. (Support for DWG up
to 2010)
progeCAD lets you export drawing files to any previous AutoCAD versions,
both in DWG and DXF format.
Total integration in the Windows®
environment
progeCAD’s exceptional efficiency is
guaranteed by its total integration in the Microsoft Windows® environment.
Improved GUI *
More comfortable and standard graphic
interface, New Toolbars 'AutoCAD® like' feeling. New Hatch
and Plot forms
PDF format Printing/Export
*
The PDF format is extremely convenient for
the publication of your documents, which can then be read with ADOBE ACROBAT
READER.
Acrobat Reader is a free product; many PC have it already installed,
alternatively it can be downloaded from the Internet.
However, in order to produce PDF files a specific product such as ADOBE
ACROBAT is usually needed and this can cost up to a few hundred Euro.
progeCAD 2010 Professional automatically adds a virtual printer which can
produce PDF files without the need to own ADOBE ACROBAT.
The PDF file’s parameters can easily configured.
Drawings can be also exported to create
Layered PDF with the same Layers schema visible into the
DWG
PDF Import *
progeCAD converts vector PDF engineering
drawings into the DWG/DXF format as editable objects. It accurately
reproduces lines, shapes and text strings.

ECW support *
An open standard wavelet compression image
format developed
by Earth Resource Mapping.
The file format is optimized for aerial and satellite imagery, and
efficiently compresses very large images with fine, alternating contrast.
This is a lossy compression format
Jpeg 2000 support *
Jpeg 2000 is a wavelet-based image
compression standard.
It was created by the Joint Photographic Experts Group committee in the year
2000 with the intention of superseding their original discrete cosine
transform-based JPEG standard
Integrated plot interface
*
Improved printer management with printer
control better integrated with progeCAD, paper orientation control,
Layouts configurations stored in the drawing
ACIS Solids
Main functions: Reads and writes 3D solid
objects with ACIS libraries (the same as AutoCAD®)
Essential for those who deal with Industrial Design, Dies, complex
architectural elements and generally for any application in which creating
complex three-dimensional shapes quickly and easily is essential.
ACIS solids are available thanks to an agreement signed with Spatial, the
supplier of technology for solid modelling to the most important CAD
software in the world.
progeCAD 2010 Professional has implemented a complete management of ACIS
solids, which can now be viewed, printed, created and edited.
Any exchange of projects with CAD, which include ACIS Solids (such as
AutoCAD® 2000, 2009) is therefore much easier!
The creation of complex three-dimensional shapes by using solid models is
therefore much simpler in comparison with the more traditional techniques.
3D Photorealistic Render
*
This is an ideal product for architects and
for all those designers who need to view their own drawings in a
photorealistically visualization. progeCAD 2010 Professional includes the
advanced Rendering function, based on the Ray-Tracing algorithm, and has the
following characteristics: Photorealistic rendering with light and shade,
reflection and transparency effects
Materials like wood with grain, stone, plastic, metal, bricks can be
personalised, different shades
The finishing can be personalised with effects of reflection or
transparency.
Complete control over illumination thanks to multiple light points
Exporting of images in JPEG, TIFF, TGA, PNG and BMP format

progeCAD manages the insertion on the
drawings of external references, that is drawings dynamically inserted in a
main drawing (by modifying a secondary drawing, the corresponding drawing
inserted in the original one will also be modified).
Xref Manager is an integrated mask (similar to the one available in AutoCAD®)
which allows the management of external references insertions easily and
visually.
Polar Tracking (Polar Snap)
*
help to draw objects at specific angles or in
specific relationships to other objects. When turned on polar tracking,
temporary alignment paths help you create objects at precise angles.

Flexibility and personalisation
Like AutoCAD®, progeCAD has a bar
for typing commands and a series of icons arranged around the drawing area
which facilitate and speed up the use of the various functions.
There are obviously pull-down menus which, like command aliases and tool
bars, can be personalised.
Likewise the management of Layout and blocks is compatible and these can be
managed and inserted with the same commands as AutoCAD.
Multidocument
progeCAD is Multidocument.
This means that it is possible to open more than one drawing in the same
work session (multidocument session); planning can thus be very much speeded
up and simplified.
Find & Replace *
