New Product Versions 6.58.00 and 7.58.00 (posted 28-June-2014) Now Available

It is recommended that all current 6.5 and 7.5 clients install the new 6.58 and 7.58 free updates. This version includes many improvements to DWG/DXF import and export, and integrates full DWG 2014 file format support from the ODA. We consider this version to be highly stable.

Version 6.58 includes improvements in Windows 8.1 support, many minor bug fixes, and compatibility work on the DWG import/export functionality.

There are several new internet commands that let you download and upload drawings, catalogs, and templates from the web. Web pages can use hyperlinks to trigger commands or scripts in the program. User notes are available at:

These new commands are experimental - we will see how much interest there is in using them, and what support issues we encounter. When the results are in, we may declare them "standard" and incorporate the in v7 and v8.
