GENERAL CADD PRODUCTS, INC. RELEASES GENERAL CADD PRO 1.01

New Windows-based CADD software sets the standard for affordability, functionality and compatibility with industry standards and legacy DOS CADD applications

CHERRY VALLEY, NY - OCTOBER 31, 2002 -- General CADD Products, Inc. announces the release of General CADD Pro Version 1.01. This all-new computer-aided drafting and design software product features a user-friendly two-letter command structure, complete Windows functionality, a powerful Macro programming language, 32-bit accuracy and compatibility with important CADD file formats.

Project leaders for General CADD Pro 1.01 are the programming duo of Matt Brown and Carl Ransdell, well known in CADD circles for their work on Generic CADD, a popular DOS-based drafting software product, and Visual CADD, an early Windows 2D drafting product.

General CADD Pro features an easy-to-learn two-letter command structure favored by many drafting professionals. A variety of Windows dialog boxes are also available for simplified access to such features as dimension settings and text formatting. All commands are available from the Main Windows menu as well as from two-letter keyboard shortcuts.

"General CADD Pro is the program thousands of drafting professionals have been waiting for," says James Faliveno, President of General CADD Products. "We have worked hard to create an all-new CADD program that will meet the high standards of those who appreciate affordability and a user-friendly command structure."

The goal for the release of General CADD Pro 1.01 was to provide the professional drafting community with a solid, capable and familiar CADD operating environment. Enhancements planned for future versions include a programming API (applications programming interface), extended drafting functionality and possibly a 3D companion product.
