Functions that you cannot find in any other CAD at any price you can try for less than $10. IBM CAD/3X is optimized for the new CAD user (even if you have never used a computer before). Easy to read and easy to understand menus guide you through the design process for any project from a backyard garden to the space shuttle. If you don't agree that IBM CAD/3X makes designing everything three times easier than ever before send it back. IBM CAD/3X product description IBM CAD/3X is a versatile CAD package that is easy enough for first-time users yet powerful enough for professional engineers. IBM CAD/3X supplies all the tools needed to create the highest quality drawings. And it's available on DOS and OS/2 operating systems. Ease of Use Features *On-Line-Help - Context sensitive on-line help uses text and illustrations to explain functionality and features. Simply press the F1 key anywhere in the program to get instant help. This eliminates time consuming searches through reference manuals. *Menus - IBM CAD/3X's user interface consists of side menus, message lines, status lines, and pop-up menus. There are no hidden commands to memorize making IBM CAD/3X easy to learn and use. *Dynamic Point & Line Markers - Line segments, endpoints, midpoints, intersection points, center points, and circumference points are automatically displayed and easily selectible. *User's Manual - A comprehensive user's manual accompanies the product. It includes many useful lessons and describes IBM CAD/3X's tools in detail. *Technical Support - A knowledgeable staff of technical experts are available via phone, fax, bulletin board, or Compuserve. *Demonstration Facility - This provides a step-by-step tutorial through the construction of a sample drawing, thereby minimizing the time necessary to become productive with the system. *Automatic Screen Refresh - The display screen automatically refreshes and immediately displays the results after each operation. And a working copy of the file is updated on the disk. So in every event of a system failure, the drawing is restored when the system is restarted. *Dynamic Highlighting - Geometry and menus on the screen are highlighted as the cursor approaches, which eliminates magnifying and zooming on complex or dense drawings. Design / Drafting Features *Flexible Organization of Geometry - IBM CAD/3X's hierarchical database structure allows for flexible organization of geometry in drawing creation and editing. Entities can be handled individually or as a shape, pattern, view, or layer. *Associative Dimensions - The user can visually drag the dimension text before committing to a location or the drawing, as well as relocating any dimension after it has been placed on the drawing. *Macro Facility - The macro function works like a tape recorder by saving the actions and keystrokes of the user and playing them back for later use. In addition, user defined messages and prompts can be added for parametric design applications. This feature cuts down on production time by eliminating repetitive tasks. *User Definable Area Fills - In addition to the standard cross hatching, IBM CAD/3X allows for the creation of custom area fills such as poured concrete, subgrade, wood, etc. These custom area fills are as easy as creating a pattern of geometry and defining the boundary area. *Double Line, Box & Polygon Options - This feature automatically creates double lines for lines, boxes, and polygons. Spacing between the lines is determined by the user. *Engineering Analysis - Engineering properties including perimeter and area, moments of inertia, product of inertia, radius of gyration, and centroid are automatically calculated and quick to display. *Boolean Operations - Geometry can be added, subtracted or the difference found using the boolean operations - union, intersection, and difference. This allows complex objects to be built from basic shapes. *Symbol Libraries - Over 70 block and drafting symbols are provided with IBM CAD/3X. The user can also create their own symbol libraries. Six additional symbol libraries including Architectural, Electrical, Mechanical, HVAC, Piping and Landscape are available at a nominal cost. *Text Capability - IBM CAD/3X includes many useful text and font features. In addition, an ASCII text file can be directly imported into an IBM CAD/3X drawing, and text can be exported to an ASCII file. *Customizable Keys & Mouse - Single commands or macros can be assigned to selected keys on the keyboard or to buttons on the mouse. This increases productivity and provides the user greater flexibility by eliminating repetitive key strokes. Extensive Data Exchanges Designs done in IBM CAD/3X can be transported to a variety of other software programs via data exchanges. These include DXF, EPS, CGM, TIFF, and HP-GL formats.
