DOUBLECAD XT AWARDED 5-STARS FROM CNET
Free AutoCAD LT Work-Alike Awarded CNET's Highest Rating
NOVATO, Calif., December 7, 2009– IMSI/Design, maker of the #1 best-selling CAD in retail and the market's leading alternative to AutoCAD LT® (NASD: ADSK), announced today it received a 5-Star rating from the CNET Editors' Review, CNET's highest rating.
Said the CNET editor review staff: "DoubleCAD XT's interface will be familiar to many, even those with no CAD experience, since CAD tools generally look and function much like photo editors and other typical graphics utilities, and DoubleCAD XT is based on pro software. It's well designed, as you'd expect from design software. It's easy to use if you have CAD experience but easy to figure out if you don't. For a free tool, it offers basics and extras too numerous to list entirely, but a few are: Enhanced .SPK compatibility with SketchUp, layers, a 3D-to-2D flattener, a brush editor, and automatic scaling. DoubleCAD XT is a great choice as a .DWG viewer for those with older AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT versions that can't read the latest formats. It's also handy for those who need to import or otherwise view and utilize CAD images for other purposes, such as presentations or digital publishing."
"Highly recommended," concluded the CNET review staff.
