Three new PowerCAD CE 5.2 versions � PowerCAD CE Viewer�, PowerCAD CE Classic�, and PowerCAD CE Professional�, feature numerous breakthroughs in mobile CAD technology, enabling companies to save time, improve customer service and increase profits by being able to view, markup, and create precise AutoCAD� compatible 2 and 3-dimensional designs and digital blueprints in the field or on the shop floor using the latest mobile/wireless handheld computing devices from leading vendors such as HP, Dell, T-Mobile and Rockwell Automation.
�PowerCAD CE is the only Windows CE based CAD system in the world that delivers workstation power in the palm of your hand�, said Bill Walton, President and CEO of GiveMePower. �Our new releases place us miles ahead of our nearest competitor in providing true 2 and 3-dimensional CAD for an estimated 2 million people looking to improve their productivity and reduce costs by having mobile CAD and digital blueprint processing available for use on their projects.�
Instantly usable by operators of any skill level, PowerCAD CE is designed for engineers, architects, builders, designers, renovators, manufacturers, site inspectors, project managers, facilities managers, emergency response workers, surveyors, realtors, military personnel, GIS professionals and anyone else who needs to work with 2D or 3D CAD drawings and blueprints.

�PowerCAD CE is exactly what the Pocket PC was made for�, said Robert Horn of Into Design Group, a trade show and interior design consulting company located in West Jordan, Utah. �Ever since we got it, we have not had to work on our desktop computers at all. We can start drawings from scratch on-site and keep working on them in the car, the couch � anywhere. We tried all the other mobile CAD systems, but PowerCAD CE, in our opinion, is the only true CAD program for the Pocket PC.�
Other PowerCAD CE users include a growing list of Fortune 500 companies such as Maytag Corporation and General Dynamics Corporation, as well as America�s top governmental institutions including the Centers for Disease Control, the National Institutes of Health, and multiple branches of the U.S. Military, who are taking advantage of PowerCAD CE�s combination of power, size and exceptional compatibility with desktop leader AutoCAD�, to mobilize their workforces.
