It has been half a month since the release of ZWCAD+ 2015 Beta, which marks the third version since the debut of ZWCAD+ and brings the product quality of ZWCAD+ to a new level. Within this short period of time, this CAD product has been well received by the partners and clients. The ZWCAD Design Team is here to share the product concept with users. “After many years of development, CAD software has become a behemoth. Much more complicated than we thought — annotation tools, layer management, 3D functions, programming, and many more,” said Daniel Huang, Product Manager of ZWCAD+. “The functions may become more and more powerful, but ease-of-use hasn’t been improved a lot. Ease-of-use is an important aspect that is not adequately considered by many CAD developers. For ZWCAD+, we are trying something different.” Simplify design steps to improve efficiency and keep it fun “The whole series of Smart Functions are

LEDAS today announced the first commercial release of its LEDAS Geometry Comparison (LGC) technology. As a component product, LGC is ready for integration into existing and developing B2B (business to business) software that interoperates with CAD models. How LEDAS Geometry Comparison Works LEDAS Geometry Comparison makes it easy to compare 3D models and clearly pinpoint all of the differences between them, which are shown as groups of modified faces. LGC maps topological elements of two 3D models and restores their associativity, allowing attributes, parameters, and constraints to be translated from one model to another. Built-in adjustment technology makes it possible for LGC to compare models that even were translated (moved) and rotated with respect to each other. The software supports an extensible set of open and proprietary 3D part and assembly CAD formats. The cross-platform LGC code runs on 32- and 64-bit Windows and Linux, in both traditional and parallel MPI (message passing
