progeCAD 2008 Professional is
the professional, independent 2D/3D CAD working on original DWG format. It includes
high-performance advanced functions.
Items with* are progeSOFT's exclusive
features
High compatibility with AutoCAD®
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 from v. 2.5 to 2008)
progeCAD lets you export
drawing files to any previous AutoCAD versions, both in DWG and DXF format.
Improved GUI*
More comfortable and standard graphic
interface, New Toolbars 'AutoCAD® like' feeling
PDF format printing*
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 2007 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.
JPG format printing*
progeCAD is able to print your
drawing as a Jpeg file, very useful for documentation, manuals, catalogs,
brochures etc.
Integrated plot interface*
Improved printer management with
printer control more integrated with progeCAD
PDF Import*
progeCAD converts vector PDF engineering drawings into the
DWG/DXF format as editable objects. It accurately reproduces lines, shapes
and text strings.

managed with the O2c Viewer. O2C is the best Tool for 3D models
presentations.
A 3D model is more alive, convincing and
touchable.
The o2c format is not only a 3D-Viewing on internet but also
in: Microsoft Powerpoint, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft
Outlook (in html-Mails integrable).
RealTime Pan
& Zoom
The exclusive PPAN Technology* boost Pan and Zoom in realtime, allowing an
easy management of large drawing, also with big hatch and TrueType Fonts.
Lineweight for Display and
Printing
Lineweight editing on entities on screen and
plot
Xref
Manager
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.
Etrack* (similar to
Otrack®)
Used to avoid the necessity of drawing
construction lines in order to locate points.
Refedit (Block In-Place
Editing)*
Edit blocks without
leaving the host drawing. Changes are saved back to the originally
inserted drawing.
Express
Tools*
Is a library of more than 30 productivity tools
designed to help you extend the productivity of progeCAD. Eeasy to use,
integrated into menus and toolbars, and cover a wide range of progeCAD
functions, including layer management, drawing, object selection, object
modification and extended data.
Layer Manager *
Save different
layers status (on, off, thawed, freeze etc.) for different editing,
visualization or printing requirement and restore them in a click
progeSOFT New Wizard*
Original configuration mask of new
drawings based on prototypes or pre-set values (similar to the one
available in AutoCAD®)
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.
Total
integration in the Windows® environment
progeCAD’s exceptional efficiency is guaranteed by its
total integration in the Microsoft Windows® environment.
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.
Raster
You can
insert and manipulate Raster images with only one click of the
mouse!
progeSOFT signed an important agreement with Hitachi, which
allows the use of this function in its top version
eTransmit
Utility for gathering,
compacting and transmitting DWG files. External references (xref) , fonts,
shape files, images and other supporting documents. Improve the drawing
interchange.
Find & Replace
Automatically find (or replace) a string into a dwg, both
in Text, Attributes, Hyperlink, Dimension.
progeSOFT Wblock Manager*
Block registration management. Speed up
your custom libraries creation. It is an useful complement to the ALE
module
progeSOFT Batman (Atrribute
definition local editing)*
Change the blocks attributes definition, text, justification,
layer, position etc.
progeSOFT DWG
Explorer*
Windows Explorer
style windows for dwg browsing and block insertion.
Find your dwg in a
click.
Double LINE*
This allows the user to
trace a continuous double line by using straight line segments and
arcs.
The line’s ends can be closed and the angles can be adjusted
automatically.
The width of the double line can be adjusted at any
point.
Either the beginning or the end of the line can be attached to
an already existing object which
can be broken at the intersection
point with the double line.
The “DOUBLE LINE” command greatly speeds up
and simplifies drawing.
3D Photorealistic Render (new
version)*
This
is an ideal product for architects and for all those designers who need to
view their own drawings in a photorealistically visualization. progeCAD
2007 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
The pattern
of materials can be imported from external bitmap images (for ex. it can
be put through a
scanner or downloaded from specialised
Internet sites)
Exporting of images in JPEG, TIFF, TGA, PNG and BMP
format
Anti-aliasing and softening effect of surfaces
Library of
pre-set materials
Smooth shadows
Sun position control

with custom resolution
Improved performances
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 2007 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, 2002, 2004, 2006,2007) 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.
