September 2002 - Stardraw.com at PLASA 2002

Software provider Stardraw.com is set to have a busy PLASA 2002.  The big news is the launch of the worlds first web-based CAD system.  Stardraw.net is a tool that allows one to design and document integrated systems through a browser using an on-line library of over 30,000 industry-specific symbols.  Stardraw.net represents the introduction of web-based technology that incorporates tools and data for all of the niche markets addressed by Stardraw's conventional software packages.  This means that users can now customise their symbol sets drawing from any or all of the above libraries according to individual requirements.

 

In addition to the new web-based application, Stardraw.com will of course be demonstrating the conventional "shrink-wrapped" off-the-shelf CAD design and documentation software packages on which Stardraw.net is based.  The range comprises Stardraw Audio, Stardraw AV, Stardraw Lighting 2D and Stardraw Radio.

 

The applications are based on the same powerful Stardraw engine that has been tailored to vertical market sectors to create industry-specific packages at a fraction of the price of traditional CAD solutions.  The basic elements of each package include:

·        drag-and-drop design facility

·        powerful documentation system linked to MS Excel and based on a series of customisable templates so that a single drawing can generate bills of materials, pricing schedules, cable schedules and a host of other useful data

·        full AutoCAD compatibility up to and including the recently introduced AutoCAD 2002, with the ability to read, write and edit DWG and DXF files.

·        comprehensive library of industry-specific symbols, all generated to the same high quality standard

·        regular monthly updates of new symbols and program features

·        advanced error reporting direct to the developers and fixes posted within 48 hours

All of the packages are extremely quick and easy to use which makes them a formidable sales tool: designs can be produced in minutes rather than hours and modified just as quickly.  The bulk of the customisation for particular industry segments is in the symbols provided with each package, and Stardraw.com is dedicated to keeping these libraries up to date and conforming to standard.  Whatever your design and documentation needs, Stardraw has a high quality, versatile and cost-effective package to suit.
