IMSI(R) Announces the Release of TurboCAD(R) Professional Version
10.5 Version 10.5 Now Integrates D-Cubed's Two-Dimensional
Constraint Manager NOVATO, Calif., Nov. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- IMSI(R) (OTC:IMSI) (BULLETIN BOARD: IMSI) , a leading developer
and publisher of precision design, and consumer and business
software solutions, today announced the newest version of its
flagship product TurboCAD Professional version 10.5. This new
version incorporates D-Cubed's powerful two-dimensional Constraint
Manager, the industry standard software solution for geometric
constraint solving in 2D sketches, and it also includes several
additional new and improved drafting and design tools. There are
over 15 new 2D and geometric constraint management tools available
for points, lines, circles and arcs in this new version of TurboCAD
Professional. With the dimensional constraint tools, mathematical
relationships between different dimensions are easily defined,
making editing of designs even more efficient. In addition,
constrained 2D profiles can serve as the basis for a 3D model. 3D
models created from a constrained 2D profile will automatically
update whenever the 2D profile is changed. This latest version of
TurboCAD Professional can now also convert legacy 2D drawings,
including DXF and DWG, into geometrically constrained drawings.
"The decision to license this technology in order to provide
advanced constraint solving in TurboCAD creates tremendous value
for our customers. It enables IMSI to offer more robust and
complete design and manufacturing solutions to the mechanical CAD
and CAM markets," said Bob Mayer, executive vice president of
IMSI's Precision Design Products Division. "Many of the world's
leading CAD/CAM/CAE vendors have integrated D-Cubed's technology
into their applications. We feel extremely proud to be able to
offer the drafting and design power of this technology in a CAD
application priced under $1,000. When combined with the already
powerful, photorealistic rendering and ACIS(R)-based, surface and
solid modeling capabilities in TurboCAD Professional, D-Cubed's
technology makes TurboCAD Professional version 10.5 the best
desktop CAD value on the market today," added Mayer. Other
enhancements in TurboCAD Professional version 10.5 include: -- NEW!
Closest distance between 2 parallel lines dimension -- IMPROVED!
Bi-directional associative dimensioning -- IMPROVED! NURBS-based
facet deforming TurboCAD Professional version 10.5 now offers even
more professional tools for mechanical, architectural and
industrial product design at a cost that is significantly lower
than CAD software with comparable capabilities. TurboCAD
Professional v10.5 is available from IMSI and selected retailers,
and will have a suggested retail price of $895. Visit
