FastCAD V7 FastCAD Is Not Just a Name, Though FastCAD V7 is written to harness the power and flexibility of the Windows 95/98/NT ME 2000 and XP operating system, it still retains the unique qualities that made our DOS software the choice for many power users in the CAD community...
What's New and Improved Double precision math, object oriented code, a new image buffering scheme that results in up to 40x faster redraws and zooms. Did we mention 3D? All of the high-level 3D structures and entities from FastCAD/DOS 3D - A surface of revolution is retained as the definition, you don't lose the structure to command-level polygonalization. Plug-in rendering interfaces, with in-window OpenGL hardware-accelerated rendering and printing provided. The Lightworks rendering engine built in. With it, you can render with ray-traced antialiased transparency, a large assortment of predefined materials, direct high resolution printing of rendered images, and export rendered images to JPEG, TIFF, TARGA, BMP, and Postscript files. A new user interface. Hundreds of smaller improvements added at customer request. The use of both style gallery files, and screen controls that will list just those styles that you're using. Greatly enhanced customization. 24-bit color support throughout. User-defined 3D workplanes, enhanced XREF and multiple-drawing support. Multiple symbol catalogs and unlimited icon bars. And more. You need to check it for yourself.
Version 7 is the new, ground-up, rewrite designed as a platform for development for the forseeable future. Buying V7 now will get you over a years worth of frequent free updates - updates that will enhance the program's performance, add features, and respond to the needs and requests expressed on our BBS. V7 now is just the beginning of what you will be getting over the next year. I'm almost as excited about what we'll be adding this year as I am about what we have accomplished. FastCAD Version 7 now includes the Lightworks rendering engine, with ray tracing, antialiasing, transparency, a large assortment of predefined materials, direct high-resolution printing of rendered images, export of rendered images to JPEG, TIFF, TARGA, Postscript, and BMP files, and much more. While the 3D support will attract a lot of the attention, it is by no means all there is to V7. Every aspect of the program has been worked over. We feel that V7 will greatly enhance traditional 2D work, and remove bottlenecks. While 3D is "sexy", much of the real work to be done is 2D. We have a proven record of enhancing 2D capabilities with features such as V6's sheets, (added to V6 at no charge as a free update in 6.02). We have added new export formats such as WMF for help file authoring, and plan many new formats specifically to enhance the use of CAD with the web. All of our customers know that buying a version of our software gets you over a years worth of frequent free updates - updates that enhance the program's performance, add features, and respond to the needs and requests expressed on our BBS. V7 now is just the beginning of what you will be getting over the next year.
