IMSI/Design Launches DoubleCAD XT Pro v2 in Same Calendar Year as Version 1

New Features & Enhancements Include Intelligent (Parametric) Architectural Objects, Drawing Compare, Hatch Pattern Creator, Exploding Viewports, New 2D Tools, and SDK.

NOVATO, CA - IMSI/Design announced today it is releasing DoubleCAD™ XT Pro v2. Version 2 is being released in the same calendar year as Version 1 due to a rapid development pace that is unique among major CAD vendors.

"We continue to pour through customer feedback and AutoCAD user groups' wish lists to include features we know AutoCAD users are anxious for," stated Royal Farros, CEO of IMSI/Design. "There's no doubt DoubleCAD XT Pro is an appreciated alternative to AutoCAD LT... and a great choice for AutoCAD users just looking for optimized 2D CAD."

Based on IMSI/Design's award-winning CAD code with over two million copies sold worldwide, DoubleCAD XT Pro v2 works like AutoCAD LT but goes beyond with a host of new features and enhancements, including:

-- Drawing Compare: Instantly compare two DoubleCAD (.2CD), .DWG, .TCW,
.JPG, .BMP, or .PNG drawings for all visual differences.

-- Hatch Pattern Creator: Easily create, modify, and combine custom
hatch patterns with control over scaling, orientation, and position. Also
includes automatic detection of repeating patterns.

-- Exploding Viewports: Convert visible geometry in your viewports into
flattened, editable 2D geometry within your layouts, even hidden line
views. Your shaded views are also converted into standard bitmaps.

-- New and Enhanced 2D CAD Tools: Includes Revision Cloud, Chain
Polyline, Bisector Line, Minimal Distance Line, Select By Query, Transform
Recorder, Surface Area Measurement, Double Point Arc tools, and more.

-- New and Enhanced Intelligent (Parametric) Architectural Objects:
Includes more wall, window, door, slab, rail, and profile styles and new
section and elevation tools.

-- Xref support includes VISRETAIN settings and binding.

-- Mid-point and pattern constraints.

-- Terrain import and modify.

-- Enhanced ESC key, Space Bar, and Enter Key for seamless AutoCAD
usability.

-- Enhanced .DWG compatibility.

-- Enhanced .DAE (COLLADA) compatibility.

-- Index Color and CTB print style support.

-- Batch file conversion tool for multiple file conversions.

Additionally, DoubleCAD XT Pro v2 can be customized and extended via a new Software Developers Kit (SDK), allowing you to create powerful tools, scripts, and even commercial applications that can run with DoubleCAD XT Pro.

"We believe DoubleCAD XT Pro delivers twice the 2D CAD power of AutoCAD LT for about half the price... something we know AutoCAD shops also appreciate during these difficult economic times," added Farros.
