VectorWorks Spotlight 11 Now Shipping
Columbia, Maryland (April 19, 2004) - Nemetschek North America has announced the release of VectorWorks Spotlight 11 which offers enhanced tools and technology that make production drafting more efficient and modelling easier. Furthermore, new page layout capabilities along with new and faster rendering modes enable users to better communicate their design intent.
Richard Diehl, CEO, Nemetschek North America, stated: "VectorWorks Spotlight 11 is a milestone release in our almost twenty years of development history. Existing users will be pleased with the improved functionality in version 11 that allows them to continue to design in their own way, only faster and easier. Additionally, the new technology in version 11 will cause users of other programs to re-evaluate current CAD solutions."
Advance page layout features make it easy to compose drawing sheets that combine different views of a design at varying scales with text, annotations, and other graphical elements. Also new to VectorWorks Spotlight 11 are artistic rendering modes that produce softer hand-sketched effects. New image compression technology gives users the ability to open files more quickly, and save files faster, while taking up less hard drive space. Users will also find support for QuickTimeR VR, as well as support for AutoCADR 2004, and ACISR solids.
Other improvements to VectorWorks Spotlight 11 include inventory improvements, new context-sensitive help, multi-circuit instrument tool, new ARRI and Mole-Richardson libraries, export dimmer and channel information, batch print, and faster more robust modeling.
"VectorWorks Spotlight 11 is exactly what I've been hoping for. An instant boost to productivity, viewports, new artistic rendering modes, and real improvements to drafting and modelling...what can I say? Great job," says Frank Brault, VectorWorks user and consultant.
