3D Design on Handhelds
GiveMePower announced it has added laser measurement support to its PowerCAD CE Pro mobile CAD system, allowing architecture, construction and design professionals to create real-time, as-built floor plans directly in the field using a Leica Geosystems AG DISTO Pro or Hilti AG PD 25 portable laser measurement device and a Microsoft Windows CE based Pocket PC, Tablet PC, Handheld PC or Pocket PC cell phone.Priced at $495, PowerCAD CE Pro helps save time and money by replacing paper sketches with digital CAD drawings which are generated in real time on a handheld PC using highly accurate measurements recorded from a Leica DISTO Pro or Hilti PD 25 laser measuring device. Measurements can be initiated from the laser or from the handheld PC, with results available for 2 or 3-dimensional viewing, editing, dimensioning and enhancement using nearly 300 AutoCAD compatible design functions. Extended site details can be added using PowerCAD's unique VoiceNOTE audio recording system and new digital photograph import capabilities.PowerCAD CE Pro utilizes CAD industry-standard DWG, DXF, or FLX file formats, allowing field drawings to be remotely transferred via wired or wireless data transfer for collaboration with office staff using popular desktop CAD systems such as AutoCAD or GiveMePower's own PowerCAD line of desktop design solutions.PowerCAD CE Pro with built-in Leica and Hilti laser support is immediately available for purchase or free 30-day trial from the company's website at http://www.givemepower.com, by calling toll free (US/Canada) at 1-888-97-POWER, or by calling 403-287-6001 outside the toll free area.
