AUTOSOLIDS UPGRADE FROM CSG EDITOR AVAILABLE
Pace, Florida, March 01, 2002- AutoSolids, Inc.(ASI) and Context CAD, Inc. today announced the availability of competitive upgrade pricing on ASI's "AutoSolids" 3D solid modeling software program to owners of Context CAD's "CSG Editor" software program. Owners of CSG Editor V3 may now purchase the standard version of AutoSolids for $295, $700 below AutoSolids' $995 List Price. Owners of CSG Editor V2 may purchase AutoSolids for $395. AutoSolids and CSG Editor are both AutoCAD add-ons that improve AutoCAD's native 3D capabilities. CSG Editor adds parametric editing functionality to AutoCAD's native solid modeling system. AutoSolids adds parametric modeling functionality beyond that of CSG Editor, and also includes advanced visualization tools and automated 3D-to-2D capabilities, resulting in a comprehensive 3D design system. "CSG Editor is certainly an improvement to native AutoCAD's modeling system" says ASI's Scott Slavik, "but it still lacks many features that are necessary for achieving the enormous efficiency gains that are possible with parametric solid modeling. Our licensing of the ACIS modeling engine enables AutoSolids to provide key modeling features that are literally impossible without ACIS access. In addition, AutoSolids' RealView real-time rendering engine and QuickDraw automated 2D drawing generator help streamline the entire design process, from basic model creation tasks all the way to 2D drawing production. We are very pleased that our relationship with Context CAD has resulted in AutoSolids' technology being made available to existing Context CAD customers at a very attractive price." Because both products incorporate Constructive Solid Geometry(CSG) technology, AutoSolids can read and parametrically edit existing CSG Editor solids. AutoSolids is also unique in maintaining native .dwg file format at all times; AutoSolids models are directly accessible to non-AutoSolids-equipped AutoCAD users without conversion, with AutoSolids models responding exactly as native AutoCAD solids to all native AutoCAD commands. About AutoSolids AutoSolids is an ObjectARX application available for AutoCAD, AutoCAD Architectural Desktop, and Mechanical Desktop, greatly extending the solid modeling, viewing, and visualization capabilities of the native products. AutoSolids is available directly from AutoSolids, Inc. and from select AutoSolids resellers. About AutoSolids, Inc. AutoSolids, Inc., an Autodesk Authorized Developer, provides 3D software tools for the AutoCAD environment. The key operations and development managers of AutoSolids, Inc. bring together over 25 years combined experience in the design, development and use of mechanical CAD applications.
