10 Reasons to Upgrade to AutoCAD 2011

AutoCAD 2011 has many new and enhanced tools to help you work more productively whether you're creating 3D conceptual designs or 2D documentation drawings.

1. Easily create, select, and display geometry based on object selection.
2. Automatically infer geometric constraints based on your drawing and editing operations.
3. Apply transparency to hatches and other drawing geometry based on object or layer.
4. Create and edit hatch objects without even access a dialog box.
5. Add and remove vertices for polylines with direct manipulation tools. No need to use PEDIT>Edit Vertex>Next>Insert!
6. Create and edit splines with powerful tools for defining control vertices or fit points.
7. Create 3D surfaces that remain associated with their defining geometry. When the defining geometry changes, the 3D surfaces update!
8. Visualise your 3D models by easily applying materials from the new Autodesk Materials Library. More than 1000 predefined materials to select from!
9. Check the continuity, curvature, and draft angle of surfaces directly in AutoCAD.
10. Attach point cloud files with up to 2 billion points to your AutoCAD drawings.

Revision of Website

Today (25th March 2010), with the release of the Autodesk 2011 range of products, Computer Aided Business Systems have reviewed and updated their website.

We aim to offer 'less' text and 'more' graphics and video to assist you with recognising the range of products we offer from Autodesk and other leading software manufacturers within construction, visualisation and design.

The site doesn't and is unlikely to ever provide information on all the products and services that we can offer - there are simply too many, and everyone and every company operates differently. We cannot simply post a list of products, and a list of prices. That's too simplistic. Our sales consultants need to discuss your requirements, business objectives and budgets to ascertain and recommend a blend of 'off the shelf' Autodesk and other manufacturers software. Whilst integrating and advising on third party complimentary and industry specific software solutions that will assist with productivity, return on investment, business advantage and profitability.

If you have any comments and suggestions regarding the website please direct them to web@cabs-cad.com
