ShipConstructor's
Support of AutoCAD 2006 Provides Shipyards and Designers With
More Productivity Improvements
Albacore
Research Ltd. (ARL), today announced ShipConstructor’s
support for AutoCAD® 2006 next generation design software
from Autodesk, Inc., the world's leading software and services
company for the building, manufacturing, infrastructure, digital
media and wireless data services fields. AutoCAD 2006 software
allows users to create, manage and share design information
faster, to compete and win.
ShipConstructor2005
is fully compatible with AutoCAD 2006. The new features offered
by the latest release of AutoCAD will significantly improve
the productivity of ShipConstructor users.
ShipConstructor
is the 3D product modeling and Product Data Management (PDM)
system for the design and fabrication of ships and offshore
structures, enabling shipyards and designers to realize new
levels of efficiency. ShipConstructor runs within AutoCAD,
the world’s leading customizable and extendable CAD
software for 2D drafting. AutoCAD 2006, with its focus on
productivity improvements, further extends the time-savings
made possible with ShipConstructor.
ShipConstructor2005
users can make immediate use of several new features in AutoCAD
2006. Dynamic Input settings allow users to launch commands,
read prompts, and enter values right at the pointer, without
diverting attention from the drawing editor. Enhanced zooming
and panning makes it easier to change views and maintain visual
orientation. AutoCAD 2006 also includes an improved annotation
process and more streamlined drawing and editing tasks.
"By
integrating with the latest features in AutoCAD 2006, ShipConstructor
enables our joint customers to maximize their productivity
and reduce ship design and construction times," said
John Sanders, vice president of Autodesk’s Platform
technology Division. "We are pleased to have the strong
support of ShipConstructor for AutoCAD 2006.”
“The
combination of ShipConstructor and AutoCAD is key to the success
of the shipbuilding industry,” said Rolf G. Oetter,
founder and president of ARL. “The combination is successful
because it allows small and large shipyards and designers
to access the same powerful tools, all within a familiar,
easy-to-use environment.”
