CAD Heaven for computer aided design & drafting - CAD Software Articles: "Kovac Software puts ?the cat among the pigeons' by releasing its completely free PCB design system.

Stafford, England - May 30, 2002. Kovac Software, a leading developer of Windows based 2D and 3D graphics software, is pleased to announce the availability of AutoTRAX EDA, a desktop electronic board-level design software suite for FREE! It is not a demo program and contains no timeouts or limits. It is truly free?
AutoTRAX EDA combines schematic capture, circuit simulation, PCB layout and 3D modeling of both parts and the final board with extensive CAM integration.
What's the catch? 'Well there really isn't one!' Says Ilija Kovacevic, founder of Kovac Software. 'After our recent successes developing 3D software for Template Graphics Software in San Diego and the award winning 2D interactive form designer for the e-forms management product marketed by Cardiff Software, Inc., in Vista, California, we reviewed the current electronics CAD market. While it appears to be flooded with products, upon closer examination there is a lot of consolidation at the top end. It reminds me of the story of big fishes eating little fishes etc. Meanwhile at the bottom end there are a lot of ?one man garage products' that are going nowhere. What does this mean for the design communit?, Well as is usual in industries when the main players such as Mentor Graphics, Cadence and Altium are swallowing up their competitors, prices remain high. For example, just look at Altium's new Protel DXP product which is to be priced at $7,995US. This is certainly not good news for the design engineering industry.'
"The time is now ripe for someone to ?put a cat among the pigeons' and provide a viable alternative. Similar to the way Lunix shook up the Unix business, the board level EDA industry needs a fresh alternative that has been designed for the 21st century, not a collection of programs each with a different look and feel bundled together"
Why AutoTRAX EDA? "Here at Kovac Software we have taken a fresh look at the desktop EDA market and have coupled our extensive experience in user interfaces, 2D/3D graphics and simulation together with the latest software design methodologies to rapidly develop the next stage in EDA software. Kovac Software is working with leading CAD suppliers Solidworks and Autodesk to integrate the electronic design cycle and the mechanical design cycle. No longer can electronic designers ?throw the finished PCB over the wall' to the mechanical designers saying ?can you squeeze that in somewhere'".
Schematic Capture and simulation. AutoTRAX EDA features a powerful drag and drop schematic capture module with integral SPICE simulation and virtual instruments giving the user a virtual electronics workbench with oscilloscopes, function generators, spectrum analyzers and many others. Tight design rules prevent invalid designs such as schematics with wires going nowhere or connected to blank space.
PCB Designer. The schematic capture module is tightly integrated with the PCB designer. The engineer can rapidly create their final boards using the PCB design wizard. The fast interactive autolayout/autorouter ensures an accurate error free design within a short time.
3D solid modeling. In order to ensure that the design will integrate with the mechanical enclosure, AutoTRAX EDA incorporated the unique Active3D solid modeler to provide views of the final board and communicate the design to third party CAD/CAM programs. The Active3D part designer is truly a pleasure to work with. The designer can create basic parts, drag and drop pre-made parts from the design gallery and add parts to the design gallery. Next materials can be dragged from the design library and placed onto parts. A built in photorealistic renderer provides a professional photographic quality image for incorporation into other documents.
CAM collaboration. Finally the designer can send their finished work to production using AutoTRAX EDA's comprehensive CAM interfaces. Kovac Software is working closely with SolidWorks and Autodesk to provide a complete desktop design solution.
Open database. All the modules are tied together via AutoTRAX EDA's distributed open format part database.
"The desktop EDA industry is about to get a wake-up call!" says Ilija Kovacevic with a wry smile.
AutoTRAX EDA is available for free download from complete with printable Adobe PDF manuals. In addition printed copies of the manual can be ordered on-line.

About Kovac Software.
Kovac Software was formed in 1990 and has developed many ?shrink wrap' 2D and 3D computer graphics programs. These were distributed via offices in San Diego and Tokyo. In addition Kovac Software has developed component software for leading companies such as Silicon Graphics, Solidworks, IMSI and PTC.
Recently Kovac Software developed the award winning form designer for Cardiff Software in southern California. .

OPENDWG ALLIANCE ANNOUNCES PLANNED SUPPORT OF AUTOCAD 2004

DWGdirect Libraries to be used for AutoCAD 2004

PHOENIX, AZ, April 1, 2003 � The OpenDWG� Alliance, a non-profit industry consortium committed to promoting open industry-standard formats for the exchange of CAD data, today announced that it has been working to support the newly-released AutoCAD� 2004 drawing ('DWG') file format in its DWGdirect� program libraries.
Progress by the OpenDWG team in support of this has been slowed because of technical challenges introduced with the new DWG file format.

AutoCAD is a product of Autodesk, Incorporated (NSDQ: ADSK), and DWG is the principal proprietary file format used by AutoCAD.
AutoCAD 2004, which shipped to customers in March, uses a redesigned drawing file format. This new AutoCAD 2004 DWG is not backwards-compatible with earlier versions of DWG. The changes introduced in this version of DWG are more significant than any since AutoCAD R13 was shipped in 1994. Included among these changes are the addition of data encryption and compressed data.

'Autodesk was in a position where, in order to add new functionality, they had to modify the DWG file format,' stated Evan Yares, president of OpenDWG. 'We applaud them for moving forward - AutoCAD 2004 has some great new capabilities. However the inclusion of data encryption and compression schemes within the new file format has created serious challenges to DWG data interoperability.'

The DWG file format is a de facto standard for CAD interoperability, in use throughout the world. Defined by Autodesk, it is supported, through OpenDWG, by over 300 commercial software developers, and well over 1,000 non-commercial, educational, and internal corporate developers. There are estimated to be more than three billion DWG files in existence.

The AutoCAD 2004 DWG file format incorporates changes which make it particularly difficult for third-party programs to read. Both the file and section headers are encrypted, but in different manners from each other. While OpenDWG has been able to determine the algorithm used for both, it has not been able to determine if the encryption keys used to scramble the data will remain static, will change in each point release of AutoCAD, or will ultimately be changed dynamically under program control.

Said Yares "In this case, we actually went to Autodesk, and asked them for assistance. Despite some friendly conversations and the initial promise of assistance, they have so far declined to provide any information on their data encoding algorithms."

An additional difficulty in reading AutoCAD 2004 DWG files comes from compression of CAD objects. Rather than having a single compression type, each object type appears to have its own individual algorithm, with a large number of special cases. Object compression is controlled by a 32-bit flag, which provides for billions of possible permutations. OpenDWG has reverse-engineered the compression algorithms for some objects, but substantial work remains to be done.

"We are being very cautious about recommending AutoCAD 2004 in any project where long-term access to DWG data is critical," stated Yares. "Until we solve the underlying data encryption and compression problems with complete certainty, new DWG files could present ongoing problems for interoperability, compatibility and usability of legacy data."

The DWGdirect libraries have been under development for several years, and were designed to accommodate substantial changes to the DWG file format, while being easier to integrate and support than the older OpenDWG Toolkit and Viewkit libraries. The DWGdirect libraries are written in object-oriented C++, and have a well-structured and powerful API designed to meet the needs of professional software developers. The DWGdirect libraries are available now in a version supporting DWG files created by AutoCAD 2002 and earlier.
