Z 3D design modeler) are joining forces to develop the next generation of PowerCADD.Engineered Software and AutoDesSys, Inc, (the maker of the form Today, I have some exciting news about PowerCADD’s future. In June I delivered sad news that development was ending with PowerCADD. Now I have a subdued but heartfelt request: if you really couldn't make PC survive in any way, thanks to Todd's availability and the numerous suggestions that many users have already expressed, would it be possible at least to make a last effort to develop a file converter from PC9 in SVG format which, as far as I know, allows you to keep many more characteristics of vector elements than DXF! Thank you all. I believe that one of the strength points of powerCADD was also the ability to communicate with other programs via DXF/DWG and PDFs import/export (and originally also PICT format). In 2008-2009 I had already had an inkling that behind the scenes of ENGSW there were problems in keeping up with the advancement of technology, when we decided in the office to support PowerCADD with a license of the much more complex 3D CADD Vectorworks: after long efforts lasted months to adapt to the new way of drawing which, in addition to being not very user friendly, often Crashed, we went back to using exclusively Powercadd (8) and the following (few) updates and the beloved WildTools!īut now, if PowerCADD wil not be developed what are we left with? Even if we manage to find another CAD that is capable of performing with the same simplicity, but at the same time the multiple and complete functions of PC, how will we be able to use all the heritage of drawings and libraries that we have produced over time? I also had the opportunity to directly appreciate Alfred's great availability and ability in responding to requests for new tools (such as the SHP import function I requested and tested), as well as Paolo Rossi who contributed to the development of Iparos Tools (Topo and Architect).įor years I have been waiting for the development of a new version that in the end, dramatically, it seems will never arrive !! I immediately and always more appreciated the simplicity and versatility of PowerCADD and enthusiastically welcomed every improvement trying to suggest new features through our Italian distributor. In few years also my colleagues became fond of this pecious tool and we bought a second licence. So I started my job career with PowerDraw as partner for my drawings. I was a young university geology student in far 1992 when decided to use PowerDraw2 for my sketches, considering that the competitor MiniCAD installed in university Mac LC was not up to the first. Also here, from far (respect to USA) Italy are warried ad appalled for PC destiny! Sorry for my language mistakes.
