PJ2 CAD SYSTEM
CadWare
Product Profile
Are you looking for a professional CAD package for OS/2?
Pj2 CAD System is the CAD platform of choice.
Taking advantage of OS/2 2.x.
Pj2 CAD System is a CAD package which gives you powerful drafting
tools by exploiting the new advanced features of OS/2 2.x. For
instance, Pj2 manages an unlimited number of graphical entities,
thus allowing you to create highly sophisticated technical
drawings on your PC. When working with Pj2, you can run at the same
time as many programs as you need on your desktop and easily
exchange information among them. Take advantage of this feature
when you create your technical documentation: sending a Pj2
drawing to your favorite word processor simply requires some
"cut & paste" operations. Pj2 is a safe CAD system. Every time
you use it, your drawing is protected against system failures.
An easy-to-use CAD package.
Drawing with Pj2 CAD System is easy and comfortable. Due to its
graphical interface based on the OS/2 Presentation Manager,
you need a very short time to become familiar with Pj2.
You cannot ever get lost when using Pj2. If you need some
information about a Pj2 command, a complete on-line help
system is always available.
Powerful drafting tools.
Pj2 CAD System provides you with powerful drafting tools:
more than 300 commands, 2D and 3D commands, 1023 layers,
viewports, blocks, macros, an internal data base, associative
dimensioning, drawing exchange formats and customisation
capabilities.
Some technical points about Pj2 CAD System.
Pj2 CAD System provides you with a 2D and 3D wire frame CAD
environment. By using Pj2 you create a large variety of
graphical entities such as segments, circles, polygons,
hatchings, texts, dimensions, blocks and splines.
When managing hatchings, a powerful algorithm allows you
to hatch very complex perimeters without trimming the border
entities. Moreover, Pj2 gives you a complete and easy-to-use
set of dimensioning functions complying with the ISO
standards. When you create a drawing entity, you can enrich
it with some additional information such as a name. In this
way you get something more sophisticated than a pure
graphical entity: you actually obtain an item which is closer
to a real world object. You can add as much information as
you like to your Pj2 objects through the Data Base functions
supplied by the program and exchange it with the external
world. Pj2 is a flexible system. Take advantage of its
"contextual menus" to draw easier. Contextual menus are
command sets, displayed within a screen window, which are
logically linked to the Pj2 command currently active.
If you are drawing for instance a segment (that is, a pair
of points), Pj2 provides you with a contextual menu listing
the snap commands and the coordinate systems.
Once you have created your Pj2 objects, you can act on
them in several ways:
- editing with trimming, filletting or chamfering commands;
- applying geometrical transformations such as translations,
rotations, extrusions, mirroring and stretching.
- changing attributes such as colors, line types, layers,
text attributes and dimension attributes.
- performing viewing operations such as enlargements,
reductions, zooming, either within a single window or
through multiple viewports.
Getting hard copies of your drawings is easy with Pj2. Simply
send them to your printer (any printer supported by OS/2)
by using the Pj2's printing commands or plot them by using
the utility program PjPlot which supports the most popular
plotting formats.Do you need to exchange your Pj2 drawings
with other systems or import foreign drawing formats? Pj2
provides you with input/output formats such as DXF and IGES.
Customising Pj2 CAD System.
Pj2 CAD System is a highly customisable package. When using Pj2,
you can interactively adjust your work environment enabling
startup files and log files (which record all your commands),
activating Pj2 options such as the display list mode
(to improve the program's speed), defining your default
directories (for drawings, macros, blocks, command files),
associating Pj2 commands to your keyboard keys.
If you are a developer or a system integrator, Pj2 gives you
an additional customisation tool: the Pj2 Application
Kit (PAK). The PAK is a software library which allows you to
create an application program and access the Pj2's functions
from within it. In principle, you can create your own CAD
system exploiting the PAK functions. Creating an application
with the PAK is easy, as you need only standard programming
tools. You write your application in C or C++ and debug it by
using the debugger coming with the development kit of your
language .
You can also enrich your application with Presentation Manager
functions. By using the PAK, your application inherits the same
graphical interface as Pj2. This means that your application
commands are activated just as standard Pj2 commands, that is
you cannot distinguish on the screen whether a command is a
native Pj2 command or coming from your application. Your
application can also share some properties of the native Pj2
commands, such as driving subcommands. In this way you drive
Pj2 subcommands such as selection commands
or snap commands directly from within your application.
What do you need to run Pj2 CAD System?
To run Pj2 CAD System, your PC needs a few minimum
hardware requirements:
- 80386 processor and 80387 math co-processor;
- 8 MB of RAM;
- 100 MB hard disk with 10-20 MB of free disk space;
- two-button or three-button mouse;
- 800 X 600 graphics card.
These are only minimum requirements. By improving them,
you get a still better Pj2's performance.
How much does Pj2 CAD System cost?
Pj2 CAD System is not a simple CAD program, but rather a
CAD engine. The use of this engine strongly depends
on what you ask for. If you ask for drafting tools,
Pj2 provides you with a complete set of commands and
utilities.
Every time you draw, you get easy-to-use drafting power.
If you need something more, you can still rely
on your CAD engine. By using Pj2 CAD System, you build a
bridge between a CAD environment and the external
world. Through this bridge you can exchange all your graphics
information with a data base, a spreadsheet, a
word processor or any other external application you need
to talk with.
You get Pj2 CAD System at a list price of US $ 1,500.
