Thursday, 23 September 2010

Intelligent, dynamic 2D drafting for Linux & Windows. STHENO/LX CAD software is ideal for companies looking for powerful, intelligent, downloadable 2D CAD for Windows or Linux at an affordable price.

Cambridge, UK and Pittsford, NY - 23 September 2010: CAD Schroer, the global engineering solutions provider, has added a new downloadable drafting product to its extensive portfolio. STHENO/LX provides intelligent, DXF/DWG compatible, highly efficient 2D drafting and editing functionality for €799.

STHENO/LX is the latest product in CAD Schroer's portfolio of proven CAD and plant design technologies, used by customers in over 80 countries and supported by longstanding engineering know- how.

"STHENO/LX is ideal for mechanical design engineers looking for a powerful, intelligent 2D system at an affordable price. It's a 'shrink-wrapped' solution with no add-on modules or design automation capabilities," explains Thomas Schubert, Managing Director at CAD Schroer. "And while naturally STHENO/LX won't offer the same functional range as our other product suites, we believe it will set a new standard for design productivity in its price range."

Design productivity through intelligent sketching, drafting, dimensioning, detailing and editing

The downloadable STHENO/LX software improves design productivity in all project phases by offering powerful drafting functionality, so reducing design and editing times. From quick sketches with the Smart Drafting tool to detailed design and flexible dimensioning, dynamic editing and symbol creation, STHENO/LX is an expert 2D system for engineering drawings.

Easy DXF/DWG CAD data exchange

The high quality DXF/DWG interface provided in STHENO/LX ensures an integrated design process and easy collaboration with customers and suppliers, supporting file formats from AutoCAD® 12 through to AutoCAD 2010.

Standard CAD parts

For design speed, quality and accuracy, the software includes a standard CAD parts library with 50 DIN/ISO standards (around 35,000 CAD parts symbols).

Well-structured and configurable

The STHENO/LX user interface is extremely configurable, making it quick and easy to adapt to company requirements. Designed with speed and access in mind, it also offers easy ways of grouping and structuring geometry and assemblies.

A boon for Linux lovers

As well as supporting Windows XP, Vista and 7, STHENO/LX is supported on 5 different Linux distributions: CentOS, Fedora, RedHat, SuSE and Ubuntu.

"Readers will be familiar with CAD Schroer's free MEDUSA4 Personal™ CAD suite, which can also be used commercially via a pay-per-result portal," Thomas adds. "STHENO/LX is for heavier commercial users, who need DXF export out of the box, and want a cost-effective, downloadable, solid 2D solution."
