Stardraw Lighting 2D Re-Instated

In response to public demand, we are pleased to announce the reinstatement of our lighting-specific design and documentation package, Stardraw Lighting 2D. The application had been officially discontinued in January 2005 although full support, maintenance and updates were scheduled to continue until next year. The decision to re-introduce Stardraw Lighting 2D comes after clear indication in the marketplace that the application still finds favor with lighting designers internationally.


Support for the package came not just from current users, but also from those who had not yet implemented a Stardraw solution. In fact, so many people remarked that Stardraw Lighting 2D was too good to discontinue that it became increasingly clear that package has a vibrant future. Interestingly, the most vocal support comes from those who have been impressed with the functionality and ease of use of the Stardraw Lighting 2D demo; at just $500 (£300 sterling, €450) it represents the most cost-effective lighting design and documentation package on the market.


The key difference in the re-instated product is that it will be available exclusively as a download. It incorporates all the updates, such as an enhanced text engine, that have recently been added to Stardraw.com's family of design applications, and will continue to be enhanced on an ongoing basis with periodic feature updates for the foreseeable future.
