MOERS, Germany and MILAN, Italy, August 2, 2007 - CAD Schroer Group (CSG), the global engineering solutions provider, today announced the release of version 3.0 of its renowned MEDUSA4 Design Automation Suite. The update features a large number of enhancements for even greater 2D and 3D design productivity.

MEDUSA4 Version 3.0

"The key words to describe the latest release include speed, flexibility, and interoperability," explains MEDUSA4 Product Manager Mark Simpson. "Our 3D customers will be especially pleased to see our intelligent STEP and IGES interfaces for excellent rendering of third party 3D components in large-scale assemblies, for example. And many of the tools in our design automation suite have gotten even smarter; take for example the advanced drafting functionality in our SMART Edit "parametrics on demand" tool: among other things it now allows associative circle placement and editing with the click of a mouse. The latest Unicode implementation gives engineers even greater freedom and flexibility with text on designs, with nearly 100,000 characters from almost every language currently encoded - great when exchanging designs in multi-lingual environments."

The Fourth Generation of the globally renowned MEDUSA engineering product suite offers superior design automation within a highly flexible systems environment. Its powerful software tools were developed to work the way engineers do, helping companies get product to market faster, and designs to customers quicker and more efficiently.
