New DesignCAD v. 25 and DesignCAD 3D MAX v. 25 - 32-bit og 64-bit

32 bit and 64 bit versions DesignCAD v. 25 and DesignCAD 3D MAX v. 25 have now been released and are available from stock.

The 32 bit version is for 32 bit Windows PCs and the 64 bit version for 64 bit Windows PCs. The advantage of the 64 bit version is that it is faster and can handle larger drawings.

Import and export improvements

DesignCAD v. 25 and DesignCAD 3D MAX v. 25 now support import and export of AutoCAD 2013, 2014 og 2015 DWG and DXF filer.

But you can now also import and export OBJ and STL files, which makes DesignCAD 3D MAX v. 25 compatible with Solid Edge and SolidWorks, and you can export SKP files for SketchUp from both programs.

3D print

The STL-export facility also makes 3D-print possible from DesignCAD 3D MAX.

GIF import/export

DesignCAD now loads the following image files: JPG, BMP, DIB, PNG, PSD, TGA, TIF, PCX, WMF, EMF, and GIF. And DesignCAD can now save the following image formats: JPG, BMP, TGA, TIF, PCX, PNG and GIF.

Group Editor

Once created, it's always been a matter of guesswork to determine the structure of a nested group in DesignCAD. The Details button in the Info Box doesn't list any sub-groups contained in the selected group entity; it only lists drawing objects.

To resolve this problem v. 25 now offers an Edit Group button in the Info Box. With a single Group entity selected, you can use the Group Editor by clicking the Edit Group button to explore the contents of the Group and any sub-groups it contains.
