THE ADVANTAGE OF BEING AN ALLYCAD USER KEEPS GROWING
Many of our loyal
users are already aware of our various product versions. These
include well-known product types like AllyCAD SME and AllyCAD
Professional. Two recent additions to the AllyCAD family tree
include the latest Freeware and Micro versions. These versions
were first introduced about eighteen months ago and their
popularity has increased dramatically over the last year.
AllyCAD Freeware
offers the full functionality of our professional package, but
is limited in drawing size. It is offered at no cost and is
aimed at increasing CAD knowledge by providing an opportunity
for beginner users to experience the full functionality of a
professional CAD package. The five AllyCAD toolkits were
included in our freeware version on 10 May 2005 thereby
substantially increasing the functionality of the program and
also optimising the productivity and design experience of
freeware users.
When users feel
more proficient in the basic operations of the program, they
will be able to upgrade to AllyCAD Micro at a marginal cost. The
drawing size of Micro is double the size of our freeware
version, which means that you will be able to do more at an
affordable cost. We have introduced a new price offering for
AllyCAD Micro in order to facilitate an easier and more cost
effective upgrade from AllyCAD Freeware. This recent move has
already received praise from both scholars and smaller scale
designers across all industries.
In addition to
this, we have increased the drawing size of our AllyCAD SME
product by fifty percent. Current AllyCAD v3.4 users can now
increase their drawing size by downloading ‘Build 20’ from our
updates
page. SME is aimed at designers who have more moderate needs for
data handling capacity and we believe that this increase in size
will certainly go a long way in helping our designers do more
with their project designs.
With our AllyCAD
Professional product there are no limits in drawing size. We
have clients that use our software for designs over one
gigabyte. There are few CAD packages on the market today that
can handle this size design with the speed and ease of AllyCAD
Professional!

“I remember the
first time that we were exposed to the program. We were given a
three-month roads project and immediately realized that we
needed the help of an extensive computer-aided draughting system
in order to meet our deadline. This led us to acquire AllyCAD,
which we used with great success. Since then we have used the
product on all our projects as it cuts down on project time and
helps us to produce a cost effective end result.”
