PHOENIX, AZ, July 13, 2015 – Open Design Alliance (ODA) today announced the release of version 4.1 of Teigha, its software development platform for engineering applications.

Teigha 4.1 introduces support for graphics cache files that optimize regeneration speed for complex drawings. Using this new technology, a Teigha-based application can reduce initial render time by up to 80% when opening a cache-enabled drawing. Also included are performance improvements for Teigha Cloud, ODA’s framework for building custom web-based solutions.

“The focus of ODA development is continual improvement, directed by the needs of our members,” commented Neil Peterson, ODA president. “Towards that end Teigha 4.1 also provides support for new features in version 2016 .dwg files, improvements to PDF export and enhanced support for mobile platforms.”

In addition, Teigha 4.1 contains fixes for issues reported by ODA members. It is available for download by ODA members at www.opendesign.com.
