IronCAD Version 9.0 Releases in Japan

ATLANTA, GA. April 03, 2007 – IronCAD, LLC today announced its Japanese release of IronCAD Version 9. IronCAD’s existing functionality has been enhanced to match the needs of a growing Japanese user base and new features, like SmartAssembly, Design Variations and IntelliStretch, are helping designers and engineers bring their products to market faster.

No other CAD software provider matches IronCAD’s performance. Intelligent design technology like SmartAssembly (which automatically sizes and aligns geometry) and Automatic Feature Reordering (which eliminates the need to track design history) makes IronCAD easy to use. These are two examples of many IronCAD features that simplify design, features that have been standard since IronCAD’s inception (others include the Triball, Handles and IntelliShapes).

Among IronCAD’s new features, Design Variations, which enable storage of multiple parametric component variations, allow users to build intelligent components stored in IronCAD Catalogs. This new feature activates when a shape is dropped from a catalog into the scene. Users then select the variation option to apply, reducing the need to create multiple component configurations and eliminating repetitive parameter setting on components. Other improvements include:

“We are very excited to receive the Japanese release of IronCAD. As IronCAD’s exclusive Japanese reseller, we are looking forward to delivering IronCAD version 9 into the hands of our customers. They are eagerly waiting IronCAD’s new features, which will make their jobs easier by enhancing productivity,” says Junji Kanaoka, General Manager of NTT Data Engineering Systems Corporation’s Marketing Division.

IronCAD V9 and its accompanying bonus CD are available for immediate delivery to the Japanese market. For a detailed description of IronCAD version 9’s new features, please visit the IronCAD product website at http://www.ironcad.com/product.
