ZWSOFT Announces its Fastest ZWCAD Ever: ZWCAD 2010

By DE Editors

ZWCAD Software Co., Ltd., a supplier of CAD platforms, announced the release of ZWCAD 2010, along with its second annual design contest, ZWCAD Design Contest 2010.

Now available in 14 languages (simplified and traditional Chinese, Czech, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Hungarian, Korean, Polish, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish) and compatible with Windows 7, ZWCAD 2010 assures users of faster speed through memory optimization, enhanced application programming interfaces, and new features such as In-Place MTEXT Editor and Splinedit.

Viewing operations like zoom, pan, and redraw have been improved to operate more smoothly. Memory Optimization improves the efficiency of commonly used commands, resulting in greater speed and stability, especially when of working with large drawings.

ZWCAD 2010 provides improved drawing features such as MTEXT Editor, which is newly developed to help you focus on your design and make your work experience more efficient with new and improved functions such as a new text formatting toolbar, a new dialog box for formatting paragraphs, and a new display options menu. Now you can create and edit text objects freely as in other professional word-processing software. ZWCAD 2010 also includes Splinedit for changing the shape of spline objects. You can edit fit data, adjust refinements, change directions, and move vertices, which enables you to work more accurately with Spline.

Some application programming interfaces have new functions: SDS is similar to ADS; LISP (similar to AutoLISP) now has a series of new functions added to the LISP Vlax and Vlr series; VBA has new functions such as AppendOuterLoop and AppendInnerLoop; and ZRX (ZWCAD Runtime Extension, similar to ARX) is one of the most powerful APIs in ZWCAD. ZRX enables developers to directly access DWG databases, customize entities, and migrate their former ARX applications to ZWCAD quickly.

With the release of ZWCAD 2010, ZWCAD Software is kicking off its second annual design contest to showcase and reward the imaginations and talents of CAD users around the world. Contestants should show the company what the future has in store by submitting a design for a product that might appear in 2015. A widget, a gadget, a new medical device, a spacecraft, maybe, or a magnificent new performing arts center—you decide, you design. All that matters is that you create the design with ZWCAD, and youre in the competition for the top prize. A total of more than $15,000 in prizes will be awarded Contest details can be found here.
