(February 13, 2006) Draftware Inc announces today the release of DraftView for CADDS 4.35, for direct viewing of CADDS 4X and CADDS 5 designs. The software includes a new Save As DXF option for exporting CADDS designs to other CAD systems.

DraftView is a low-cost view, print and markup tool that reads CADDS 4X and CADDS 5 designs directly, without requiring the CAD system. The software also supports viewing of DWG, DXF, CGM, HPGL, JPEG and other formats, and the ability to Save As DXF, DWF, TIFF and JPEG. DraftView is the only direct CADDS viewer that supports all Draw, Model and Detail Mode entities, as well as all Dimension entities and text fonts, including Kanji.

DraftView for CADDS is immediately available for Microsoft Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000 and XP.

With the advent of AutoCAD viewing utilities in the mid-1980s, Draftware Inc recognized the need for similar products for Computervision CAD users. Founded in 1988, Draftware Inc began offering Computervision CAD viewers with the release of DraftView for Personal Designer in 1989, followed by the release of DraftView for CADDS in 1991. Draftware Inc continues to specialize in viewing solutions for users of legacy Computervision CAD systems. The DraftView products are now widely used by large and small companies, worldwide, in over 30 countries.
