Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Jan 13, 2009

ProgeSOFT announce worldwide release of progeCAD 2009 Professional including Google Earth export, PDF import, and an improved CAD drawing interface.

Architects, engineers, designers and drafters using AutoCAD, Auto CAD LT, or IntelliCAD will be impressed with progeCAD 2009's overall unique performance for price combination.

Unlike most AutoCAD compatible CAD programs, progeCAD 2009 Professional goes far beyond mere DWG file compatibility with dozens of extra features like Quick-Dimensioning, an updated spell checker, and the addition of over 1000 new blocks and symbols organized by the included ALE block manager.

Nevertheless, progeCAD 2009 Professional's most amazing benefit is the low cost compared to AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT.

Google Earth has become very popular since its release, used by professional surveyors and architects to visualize their projects in a realistic setting.

Many people spend hours in fascination discovering new far off places using the tool.

progeCAD 2009 Professional can now output your designs to Google Earth format, allowing you to import your models precisely within the virtual Earth, minus the rusty auto parked in the neighbors front yard of course.

AutoCAD LT users should be especially interested in continued support for true ACIS 3D model creation, AutoLISP, VBA, and SDS (C++) program extensions - features not supported by AutoCAD LT.

progeCAD 2009's new "Advanced Data Extraction" wizard guides users in easily sending entity and block information to applications like Microsoft Excel.

Other interface enhancements include new "one-click" text editing, an interactive "purge" command dialog, and "one-click" entity grouping.

progeCAD's new layout "print area visualization" feature shows you exactly how drawings will appear on paper.

An "AutoCAD like" interface for properties modification has been added making modifying entity properties similar to AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT.

Other features and bonus software include photo realistic rendering, eTransmit, ECW, O2C, JPG, SVG XML image file support and basic raster-to-vector conversion software.

Polar tracking, eTrack, and a new eSnap-From mode help entity creation and placement.

progeCAD's "Express Tools", easy-to-use attribute editing, in place external reference editing, and "Find and Replace" text and attribute search make progeCAD 2009 Professional a truly "professional" platform that is still unbelievably affordable - less than USD $400.00 suggested retail price.

The release of progeCAD 2009 Professional comes at a time when just such an affordable yet robust AutoCAD-compatible drawing program is really needed.

Current progeCAD users are reminded that they can upgrade to the latest version at a significant discount to the already-low full version price.

progeSOFT has improved the progeCAD software registration and activation interface making licensing progeCAD 2009 simple and reliable.

Network NLM, USB mobile, and corporate licensing options for the 2009 version are available.
