IronCAD announced their first product update for their 2015 release, which includes customer-driven quality improvements and some exciting design collaboration features. The IronCAD Design Collaboration Suite (DCS) 2015 Product Update #1 boasts a 10X speed improvement in the import of Native Files by directly importing the graphical model representations. Software products from Dassault, Siemens and Solidworks can store lightweight graphical representation of models, which IronCAD DCS can directly access. Once imported into an IronCAD's scene, users can select parts or assemblies from the imported data to reconstruct into a solid model to allow modification. This ability improves design workflow and cuts down on memory and storage requirements when using customer data in the design process. Additionally, users can use the imported graphical representation in an IronCAD 2D drawing for layout and communication purposes. Further import improvements include support for JT and SolidEdge formats in the Native Translator Add-on. The IronCAD DCS update

ASCON Group is pleased to announce that open beta-testing of its new Renga Architecture was successfully completed at the end of February. The new AEC 3D CAD from ASCON is due to be released soon. The name “Renga” is based on a hieroglyph (煉瓦) from the Land of Rising Sun, meaning “brick” – the oldest aspect in construction – but also the name for an ancient genre of collective poetry. Designing is, after all, a collective creation! The meanings are intertwined in the name of our new software: Renga Architecture is a simple yet comprehensive instrument for creating interesting architectural solutions. It combines an object-oriented approach with free modeling. The official release of the product will be very soon, and so ASCON can now report on the results from our beta testers. More than 550 people from all over the world took part in beta-testing – from Russia to Aruba Island in
