GlobalCAD Announces Hatch Manager 2006 For AutoCAD/LT/ADT

Surrey, England - October 2005 - GlobalCAD, the design software company, has announced the release of its 2006 range of productivity tools including Hatch Manager - enabling users of AutoCAD-based software to instantly create new hatch patterns and effectively manage them within libraries.

Using Hatch Manager you can build entire hatch pattern libraries from scratch, add existing AutoCAD pattern 'PAT' files in seconds, or create your own unique patterns from existing drawing objects. The software links directly into AutoCAD's Boundary Hatch (Bhatch) dialog, ensuring all patterns remain fully featured with essential options such as associative, non-associative, edit boundary and pattern re-scaling. You can create patterns using Line, Pline, Point, Arc, Circle, Ellipse etc - even blocks.

Hatch Manager also comes complete with hundreds of professionally drawn industry-standard patterns including architecture, construction, interior design, landscape design, mapping, geology, engineering and more.

Other GlobalCAD add-on solutions include GlobalCAD Organizer for the effective creation and management of blocks, hatch patterns and complex linetypes. GlobalCAD Schedule provides for 'one-click' export of AutoCAD block attributes and the automatic generation of schedules and bill of quantities. ADT Schedule enables users of Autodesk Architectural Desktop or Autodesk Building Systems to instantly review and export all object property data from single drawings or even multiple drawings containing Xrefs - exporting to a variety of popular formats including Microsoft Excel, Access and XML.

All GlobalCAD products support AutoCAD 2000-2006, AutoCAD LT 2000-2005, Architectural Desktop and Autodesk vertical market applications.
