General CADD Pro or "GCP" as users
are calling it is a very powerful 2-D Computer Assisted Design
& Drafting program (32 bit accuracy) which embodies the features of
Generic CADD (CADD6), the very popular and well known DOS based CADD program
which reportedly has over 350,000 users world wide.
Many Generic CADD users are still
maintaining an older DOS based computer just to run their favorite CADD
program. General CADD's primary goal is to provide these users with a natural
feeling and nearly painless upgrade path to Windows. The main focus of the
GCP development team has been to recreate as closely as possible the 2
letter command structure, ease of learning and operation, but this time, in the
MS Windows operating environment.
Special attention has been paid to maintaining the exact functionality of the
CADD6 2 letter command structure so that users will not have to "learn a
new CAD program". Customers who have had previous experience with Generic CADD
report that they immediately feel "right at home" and practically no re-learning
is involved. Commands like NP on the right mouse button, A3 for
arcs, RE for rectangles, snaps, trims, copy, mirror, edits, file load and
save, filter, selection, change and all other draw and edit commands are "stroke
for stroke" the same! Former Generic CADD users may reuse their current
collection of Generic CADD drawings, components, fonts, hatches, menus,
linetypes and macros immediately with little or no effort!
On December 20, 2005, General CADD Pro Version 4.1 was released.
Included is a new F3 surveyor command, ACAD 2006 support with XREFS,
multi tab interface allowing multiple drawings to be open at one time, multiple
views of the same drawing and 38 new commands and features.
General CADD Pro
features an easy-to-learn two-letter command structure favored by many drafting
professionals. A variety of Windows menus and dialog boxes are also available
for simplified access to such features as dimension settings and text
formatting. All commands are available from the Main Windows menu, user
customizable toolbars and as two-letter keyboard shortcuts. Over 98 new
commands and features have been added since Version 2.1 including ACAD 2006 file
support and specific surveyor bearing/distance commands!
