Autodsys Releases ArchT 2008 for AcceliCAD, IntelliCAD v6.2
PORTLAND, OR,
Nov 8, 2007 -Autodsys, Inc.
announced today the release of ArchT 2008 for Autodsys AcceliCAD and
IntelliCAD version 6.2 and later. For the first time since 1998 when ArchT was
first released for IntelliCAD there is a version similar in capability to the
AutoCAD version. Coupled with AcceliCAD it provides a low-cost alternative that
is DWG compatible and can be used along-side or in place of AutoCAD.
“ArchT is well-known for being an easy-to-use program for creating
construction drawings and architectural models” said Ron Prepchuk, President
of Autodsys. He added "This new version makes AcceliCAD a viable alternative
to other more expensive software.” ArchT 2008 for AcceliCAD includes
features previously only available in the AutoCAD version including
sections, elevations, 2D projections, and the automatic assignment of
rendering materials.
Other new features include a curtain-wall object that allows the creation
of fenestrations of mullions containing both glass and doors. Curtain wall
objects may stand-alone or be inserted in structural walls. A new mansard
roof object allows a profile to be tabulated (follow) an outline to create a
roof such as might be found on a storefront, or over a garage or entrance.
Another exciting new feature is the ArchT Styles Toolbar which allows the
user to more easily create and modify walls, windows, doors, and other ArchT
objects. Similar to the entities properties toolbar that users are familiar
with, it gives immediate feedback when an object is selected and allows the
user to easily change its style or create new styles. The styles toolbar
also includes support for ArchT multi-level functionality. This enhancement
allows the user to easily see what level an object is on and change multiple
objects to a different level.
Other enhancements include the ability to overlap a window or opening
across two walls, tapered walls with varying width, double-click editing of
ArchT objects, and a new toolbar user interface.
