Localized Versions of Vectorworks 2009 Now Available in European Markets

Nemetschek North America has announced that a number of its major European distributors have released their localized 2009 versions of the Vectorworks® line of design software, including: Designer, Architect, Landmark, Spotlight, Machine Design, Fundamentals, and Renderworks. The European distributors have tailored Vectorworks 2009 products to meet the specific needs of their local marketplaces. Versions are now available in Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland. Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands will be releasing Vectorworks 2009 in the next few weeks.

The English-language versions of the Vectorworks 2009 product line were released in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, New Zealand and other international markets in September, 2008. This newest version has received positive feedback from early adopters.

"Our localized versions are developed by Nemetschek North America and then enhanced to meet the local requirements in other countries," says Sean Flaherty, CEO of Nemetschek North America. "Through a close partnership with our distributors, customers are now getting the advantages of Vectorworks 2009 hot on the heels of the English-language release."

The Vectorworks 2009 product line is powered by Parasolid®. Given the large-scale modeling requirements of the A/E/C industry, Nemetschek North America believes that the best way to build a strong modeling platform is to leverage the investment the manufacturing industry has made in software development. Embedding a mature modeling software engine such as Parasolid into the Vectorworks products—which already had unique free-form solids and surface modeling capabilities—establishes Vectorworks as a best-in-class architectural 3D solution.

Additionally, innovative new interface functionality in Vectorworks 2009 products enhances usability. The pre-selection indication feature provides intelligent feedback from the cursor. Used in conjunction with drawing tools, SmartCursor snapping allows users to draw with more precision.

There are more than 70 other features in version 2009 that provide users with a software application that gives them the flexibility to design the way they want, the versatility to address all phases of design, and the intuitiveness to enable them to work the way they think.
