Cadsoft to Offer OEM Version of Trelligence, Inc.'s AffinityT for Residential

Guelph, ON - March 25, 2003 - Cadsoft Corporation announced today that it is incorporating Trelligence, Inc.'s (Houston, Texas) AffinityT project requirement ( and space planning engine into a new software product, Cadsoft Affinity for Residential.

Cadsoft Affinity for Residential significantly reduces the conceptual design phase of a project by capturing project requirements, tracking project details and modifications, and validating the design process prior to CAD output. With Cadsoft Affinity, building professionals can increase profitability, accelerate project completion, and boost client satisfaction.

Cadsoft Affinity users can:

* Dynamically capture project requirements (e.g. everything from ACC reviews or Code issues to wall colors and floor types) with an intuitive, graphic Home Owner Questionnaire

* View project requirements organized by project, lot, story, room, and detail
* Try several design scenarios, without jeopardizing the profitability or schedule of the project

* Review automated notification of discrepancies between requirements and design

* Accelerate the creation of schematic floor plans

* Track project details and changes (including the impact of square footage or customer requirement changes to the budget)

* Generate pre-formatted or ad-hoc reports detailing requirements and square footage-based cost estimates
* Export a Space Planning diagram file for direct import into Cadsoft Envisioneer

"Cadsoft Affinity for Residential strongly complements our existing product line and is perfect for capturing and tracking valuable project information that our building clients need for their day-to-day business," says Chris Schweig, VP Sales and Marketing. "By streamlining the project information flow, this unique technology will help our customers to increase their productivity and so, their profitability."

"Building professionals must deliver more in a shorter amount of time to achieve growth and increased client satisfaction in today's competitive environment," said Gene Giles, COO of Trelligence. "Through the integration of Trelligence's Affinity engine, Cadsoft is providing its customers with a tool that will enable them to focus on building customer loyalty and winning new business, rather than getting bogged down with project details."
