Transoft Solutions' ParkCAD and AeroTURN Compatible with AutoCAD 2007 and MicroStation XM
28 March 2007
The parking facility design software, ParkCAD 2.1, and airside planning design tool, AeroTURN 1.0, from Transoft Solutions, creators of CAD-based software solutions for the transportation design sector, has been released to make it compatible with the latest AutoCAD 2007 and MicroStation V8 XM platforms. The new releases are available for existing ParkCAD 2.1 and AeroTURN 1.0 users as a free downloadable software patch off of Transoft's website.
Vice-president of product development for Transoft Solutions, Steven Cheng, addressed the issues of what it takes to keep up with industry standards, "For the last few months, our development team has been working diligently on bringing new feature enhancement to our users and on porting our products to AutoCAD 2007 and MicroStation V8 XM platforms. Because of the vigorous quality assurance procedures we have in place for the new platforms, we have decided to release the new product features first to the user community while the testing procedures were carried out. I am glad to announce that, joining AutoTURN and GuidSIGN, ParkCAD and AeroTURN have gone through the same rigorous testing and available on these new platforms as a free update to our users. During the develop effort, we have had excellent support from Autodesk and Bentley. We will continue to work with these companies to bring even more practical and viable solutions for our clients."
Amanda Clark, airport business development manager and AeroTURN's chief overseer, commented, "My kudos goes out to our
development team. First, they had to contend with getting a new product (AeroTURN) out in time at the beginning of this year.
And then they were tasked with the responsibility of guaranteeing that our entire product suite would work seamlessly with these
new CAD platforms before public release. It's been non-stop hectic around the office for the past few months. I truly admire their
dedication. "
In closing, Ms. Clark added, "By optimizing AeroTURN for the newest versions of AutoCAD and MicroStation, we've met our promise to fulfill the need for airport designers and planners to assess, develop, and complete their critical airside projects with superior support. Since its release in March, AeroTURN is fast becoming the perennial market leader because its easy-to-use and fresh feature set continuously meets the needs of the airport design community. People who use it are constantly amazed with what this software can offer."
ParkCAD 2.1, the world's most widely used software of its kind, is for the efficient creation of parking lots and facilities. Designers generate parking lots in minutes by incorporating user-defined or localized parking standards together with dynamic abilities for on-the-fly layout of different stalls and row configurations.
AeroTURN and AeroTURN Pro suite are user-friendly programs for airport design. They allow for the reliable and cost-effective evaluation of aircraft ground maneuvres at airports. AeroTURN Pro has additional gate and passenger boarding bridge design capabilities.
