CADopia Enhances Software to Seamlessly Provide Engineers with Industry Standard CAD Drawings from ThomasNet.com

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) November 9, 2006 -- CADopia, a leading provider of professional CAD software, has added the ability for engineers to access and download millions of manufacturer specific CAD drawings from ThomasNet.com and directly insert them into their own design using its industry standard software.

CADopia version 6 SP3 Standard Edition with direct insert support now features parts from more than 150 leading manufacturers affiliated with ThomasNet.com, seamlessly providing users with the largest library of CAD drawings available.

"With direct insertion of standard pre-drawn parts in CADopia version 6 SP3, CADopia customers will be able to complete their CAD designs very easily and increase their productivity significantly," said Surya Sarda, president and CEO of CADopia. "Thanks to ThomasNet, we can now offer the most comprehensive library of standard CAD drawings to the CAD community."

Erik Mikisch, vice president, business development for ThomasNet.com added, "The addition of ThomasNet's CAD library to the CADopia application significantly increases the availability and ease with which design engineers can access and insert ThomasNet's CAD drawings. Redrawing standard parts is inefficient and error prone. Use of the direct insert feature of this library saves time and eliminates errors."

CADopia version 6 SP3 is available in three editions – Standard, Premium, and Professional. The Professional Edition includes Ralph Grabowski's CADopia Customization Guide and Inside CADopia 6 books. Additionally, CADopia OEM is available to CAD application developers as a platform technology for their niche CAD applications.
