Feature per Month program

This month's new feature is Circular Array: this function makes it easy to create copies arranged as a complete circle, or as an arc.  Since you can specify the number of copies, spacing and/or end angle this is a powerful and flexible new feature.  The introduction of this feature brings with it a number of other enhancements to the Paste function.

Stardraw Weblink to Launch at InfoComm

We are excited to announce the launch of a new service at InfoComm 03 – Stardraw Weblink. Manufacturers enrolling in the Weblink program can embed custom data within the symbols that represent their products across the range of Stardraw design and documentation applications, including Stardraw.net, the world's first online CAD application.


The custom links can point to simple web pages, or retrieve sophisticated parameter-driven information. Using Weblink, manufacturers can deliver any kind of resource to customers using Stardraw at the click of the mouse; web pages, PDF documents, file downloads, records from databases – any and all information relating to physical products can now be accessed from the Stardraw platform by virtue of Weblink.


Subscription to the Stardraw Weblink program can cost as little as $500 annually and includes custom online administration tools for the management of Weblink data. Links can be added globally to entire ranges (for example, the manufacturer's website homepage), or on a product by product basis (e.g. product marketing and technical documentation, or even suggested pricing). Stardraw can manage data entry for those manufacturers who do not wish to administer their own Weblinks.


Stardraw Weblink is a convergence tool that enables the integration of information in ways that have not previously been possible, and as information becomes increasingly valuable, Stardraw Weblink puts that information at your customers' fingertips.

Full Technical Data from BSS Available in Stardraw

We are pleased to announce that the full complement of technical data on all BSS products can now be accessed from within Stardraw design and documentation packages via URL links within symbols. BSS is the first manufacturer to take advantage of this powerful new functionality, due to be formally launched as Stardraw Weblink.

 

BSS has supplied Stardraw with links to dynamic pages on BSS's website that use a script to give users instant and specific access to all available online product data through a single mouse click. For example, a single click on the appropriate link within the symbol for, say, BSS's Soundweb device takes you straight to the online data files for that product, whence users have access to everything from tech specs to user manuals to images and much more.

 

According to BSS marketing manager David Neal, this is an extremely significant development. “This is a prime example of how technology is integrating in order to deliver an even more efficient and streamlined service to our customers. To be able to retrieve all of our technical information from within a design and documentation package is a hugely powerful tool and an extremely modern and forward-thinking solution that is clearly of great benefit to all concerned. Stardraw has harnessed the power of the web to enhance its service, and we in turn are able to make use of that to provide customer with access to all of the information he or she could possibly require on our products with just one click of the mouse. How cool is that?!”
