IBM CAD/3X for $9.95!!
IBM CAD/3X delivered to your door for just $9.95 shipping and
handling. Don't pay for the software unless its exactly what you
need, then pay only $99.
Boulder, Colorado - For a limited time, IBM CAD/3X is
making its powerful, new 2D CAD software available for
only the cost of shipping and handling. This promotion,
the first of its kind in the CAD industry, is intended
to remove cost as an obstacle from trying out what the
company thinks is the most powerful 2D CAD package on
the market.
Starting June 21 just call 1-800-IBM CAD-1 Ext29 with a
credit card ready and pay just $9.95 to try the ultimate
2D CAD. 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.
