MicroGDS 9.0 Announced

June 6 2005, Cambridge UK - Informatix Software International Limited are pleased to announce version 9.0 of their MicroGDS 2D and 3D Computer Aided Design software. The new version is expected to be available for shipping within the next 30 days.

MicroGDS 9.0 introduces a new Properties Window which allows object properties to be displayed and directly edited. The Properties Window displays both internal properties such as linestyle or colour, and user-defined attributes such as part number or manufacturer. A new capability to define data schemas helps to create and manage attribute data.

The MicroGDS data model now includes "assemblies". An assembly is a collection of objects which behaves like a single object in the user interface yet retains the identity of its constituent objects. Assemblies can be nested, and referenced directly from library files, providing a powerful tool with which to build reusable components.

The quality of text creation and presentation has been improved to match the quality of MicroGDS's other graphics capability, with a much wider range of facilities for handling font characteristics and line wrapping.

Translation to and from other formats, notably Autocad DWG, has been further improved, and updated for Autocad 2006.

MicroGDS 9.0 features "guide lines" which are generated automatically to assist positioning relative to existing graphics. Other improvements to snapping and co-ordinate input make precise construction even easier.

Many other enhancements requested by users have also been incorporated into MicroGDS 9.0.
