January 25, 2011 - SolidWorks World, San Antonio, TX - Graebert™ GmbH (Berlin) - one of the pioneering companies in high-performance CAD solutions for desktop and mobile devices - today announced that it has developed the Graebert Market for DraftSight™, a new "App Store" for the acclaimed DraftSight 2D drafting package co-developed by Graebert and Dassault Systèmes.

The Graebert Market for DraftSight represents a new community-driven e-store where developers of any size - from individuals to large international corporations - can effectively promote, demonstrate and sell to the 300,000+ worldwide DraftSight users as a means to evaluate and purchase their products.  This announcement is a "call to developers" to begin porting their existing applications and plug-ins to DraftSight using the Graebert Developer Studio, available only through Graebert.

While the market is expected to open to buyers in April of 2011, information about becoming a developer or a DraftSight customer can be found at www.graebertmarket.com. Graebert is working with a number of international developers to have their solutions highlighted in the new market, which has support for 13 languages built-in to the storefront for worldwide deployment.

Graebert Market for DraftSight will be a major catalyst in the evolution of DraftSight from a CAD drafting engine into a robust, customizable platform for CAD users to support and enhance their business activities.  The products expected in the market will reflect a wide range of software for mechanical, electrical and process design, as well as building design and site engineering at a range of price points to appeal to all users.

"As first pioneered by Apple® in its business model for turning the iPhone® into the single most popular mobile device, Graebert is now making DraftSight an extensible, modular platform that can be customized by users to meet their specific needs," said Wilfried Graebert, founder and CEO of Graebert GmbH.  "Through our market, we are also creating an active user community for DraftSight - a place where people can try out add-on applications and drafting aids to develop DraftSight into a complete productivity platform.  Just as DraftSight created new possibilities for CAD drafting, we believe the Graebert Market for DraftSight will catalyze new innovations in software development, user/vendor interaction and application deployment."
