Overview of Features and Capabilities

• The industry standard for compatibility with the AutoCAD file formats. Vdraft reads and writes AutoCAD native DWG and DXF file formats--directly without translation, thus ensuring that the original AutoCAD drawing information and integrity are maintained. In fact, Vdraft sets the current industry standard with this unique compatibility milestone: not even AutoCAD itself reads DXF format without translation.

• Robust, native 32-bit architecture that fully utilizes the enhanced performance of Microsoft Windows 95/Microsoft Windows NT. Vdraft taps into the increased stability, speed, and accuracy of the latest Microsoft Windows technology, including networking, email, Multiple Document Interface (MDI) for supporting multiple drawing files open at once, and OLE 2.0 connectivity with the full suite of certified Windows-compliant applications.

• Easy-to-learn/easy-to-use, streamlined tool/command structure. Vdraft is functionally equivalent to much of AutoCAD's core functionality, but streamlines--indeed, avoids!--the multiple tiers of redundant commands that have crept into AutoCAD over several releases. In addition, Vdraft's more elegantly designed tools incorporate state-of-the-art GUI, such as intelligent pop-up menus and flicks. Vdraft's guiding design philosophy is based on providing tools that place the appropriate functionality, power, and efficiency right at the user's fingertips.

• Truly versatile programmability via revolutionary OLE 2.0 Automation and Vdraft's open architecture. Vdraft's full support of OLE Automation allows complete customization via a single programming language--for example, Microsoft Visual Basic®, Borland Delphi, Visual C++, or any other preferred Windows development tool. Vdraft totally eliminates the necessity of learning numerous programming protocols to create custom CAD solutions.
