Licensed exclusively in North America through Autodesk sales channel Tech Soft 3D, AutoCAD OEM empowers companies like PROCAD to affordably extend AutoCAD software functionality within products such as PapriCAD to greater numbers of customers.

"It was a natural step for PROCAD to develop our new applications with AutoCAD OEM," said PROCAD President, Zaia Abraham. "The PapriCAD product provides a new level of affordable performance for thousands of companies that will benefit from our software's extensive capabilities. It will also provide across-the-board compatibility with PROCAD's existing 2D DESIGNER applications. Overall, we're confident that customers acquiring our new software will become more competitive while maintaining their software budgets."

"We're pleased to supply PROCAD with the AutoCAD OEM platform technology that will help their design technology satisfy an ever-growing number of companies throughout their market," said Tech Soft 3D CEO Ron Fritz.

Added Abraham, "Developing and launching a new product is always a daunting task, but Tech Soft 3D made it easy right from the start. Their representatives were responsive and helped ensure the successful completion of our project. We look forward to a long-term working relationship with them that will benefit our customers, as well as our respective companies."
