submarine2012 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 progeCAD 2008 Professional 8.0.18.2 197 MB | RS Link progeCAD is a computer aided 2D & 3D design program. It's based on the IntelliCAD engine which just happens to be one of AutoCAD's most powerful challengers. Because AutoCAD is the most widely used professional CAD software on the market today, anything that competes in AutoCAD's sandbox has to be able to not only vie for attention in a difficult and entrenched environment, but also provide some incentives to move off the industry standard. ProgeSOFT is a serious company with a serious CAD product and offers extensive technical product support, so we decided to give progeCAD a heavy duty test. We reviewed progeCAD over a two month period in a busy architectural and industrial design studio. The results may surprise you. progeCAD 2008, a complete 2D/3D CAD powered by the most recent IntelliCAD 6.4 engine, is the next step of IntelliCAD and an easy replacement for AutoCAD® and AutoCAD LT®! progeCAD 2008 contains many important new features and enhancements to offer all the customers an unparalleled stability and speed. progeCAD 2008 Professional is CAD software highly compatible with industry standards, such as AutoCAD DWG v2.5 through 2008, “AutoCAD Like” menus, SHX and TrueType fonts, AutoLISP, AutoCAD blocks, etc. Sold at a fraction of the cost of most AutoCAD software, progeCAD 2008 Professional, powered by IntelliCAD, is a logical choice for drafters, designers, engineers, architects, anyone needing AutoCAD compatible software. progeCAD has already won the loyalty of many users with robust features like DWGT / DXFT / DWFT 2007 support, Polar Tracking, eSnap (like oSnapT), PDF import / export, raster to vector support, advanced hatching and more - all at a very low price. Now progeCAD 2008 offers important new additional features. Features: Advanced Render, Raster, Vectorializer, ACIS Solids, PDF-DWF™-JPG Printing, PDF to DWG Import, Layout tabs, Express Tools, Polar Tracking, Refedit ALE module and Libraries. Three customization languages (Lisp, C++ and VBA) direct access to the object automation via COM interface Includes four blocks Libraries (Architectural, Mechanical, Electrical components and 3d Furnishings) First and foremost, progeCAD is a serious tool. Second and no less important, the user interface and menu layout are very similar to AutoCAD, so if you're coming from that world, progeCAD will be easy to get to know. Throughout general project use, progeCAD seemed stable. Because it also offers a familiar layout, getting up and running at full speed with the software took only a couple of days. The organization behind the IntelliCAD engine is unique in the computer-aided design industry, consisting of a consortium to update the source code and provide some marketing support, and members who sell the software on a nonexclusive basis. The common goal is to create something that is powerful, less expensive than industry giant AutoCAD, and of course fully compatible with AutoCAD DWG files. Because it's the first question asked by anyone who is asked to consider an AutoCAD alternative, the very first issue we addressed at the beginning of the review period was DWG compatibility. I'm happy to report that compatibility is generally excellent. progeCAD 2008: * reads and writes AutoCAD® DWG files from 2.5 to 2008, the files you work with everyday! * has industry standard AutoCAD Commands * has AutoCAD Menu, Script, Font Compatibility * has AutoLISP® Compatibility!
