CADWARE srl ANNONCES AVAILABILITY OF
BLUECAD 1.0 for OS/2
BlueCad is the CAD solution which gives you powerful drafting tools fully
exploiting the OS/2 Warp best features. BlueCAD was conceived and developed
specifically for professional users and students: due to its flexibility,
speed, easiness-to-use and low price, it is ideal for planning, for
producing technical documentation and as a tool for office automation.
BlueCAD can dialog, integrating itself to them, with desktop publishing,
word processing and painting products, so being a necessary tool for
personal productivity. To draw using BlueCAD is very easy. Due to his
intuitive user interface, based on OS/2's Workplace Shell, you need a very
short time to become familiar with BlueCAD. The use of contextual menus and
drag&drop tecniques allows the unexperienced user too to be immediately

complete on-line contextual help system is always available to give you
support. Even more, if you would like to add new features to the program
expanding its functionalities, it is possible creating new commands using
REXX programming language: BlueCAD's REXX interface allows you to access
all program's functionalities and also to use functionalities coming from
third parties REXX libraries.
