Aftercad Launches Aftercad InSite, the Web's First True AJAX Based CAD Application
The CAD to Consumer Revolution Begins
VANCOUVER, BC - May 1, 2006 - Aftercad Inc. today announces the launch of its new AJAX based CAD application, Aftercad InSite. A product that lets anyone zoom, pan, change layers and markup a CAD document with nothing more than a web browser.
Aftercad InSite is a server application that easily integrates with Windows or Linux webservers to organize and serve CAD diagrams to anyone with a web browser. This amazing new technology utilizes AJAX programming methods to achieve the elusive 100% CAD web user experience without the need for anything at the client end but a browser. InSite serves up 2D and 3D CAD data in the same way that Google MapT data is served to users: without the need for clumsy or buggy activeX and java applications. The user's browser CAD experience comes with JavaScript tools for navigation that include zooming, panning, layer control and markup.
"This is the first CAD product to embrace and leverage AJAX and introduces our AJAX for CAD strategy. Google MapsT has revolutionized the usage of GIS data by creating the first truly reliable GIS to consumer delivery model, InSite leverages the same philosophy." said Chris Boothroyd, CEO of Aftercad. "Now you'll be able to serve CAD data to anyone, for work orders, maintenance reports, home floor plans or any consumer targeted CAD planning tool. The user will be able to see it, use it, mark it up and send it back."
"For too long we have expected the CAD consumer to work with awkward and inflexible ActiveX controls or Java Apps just so they could perform some simple functions. Now, everyone has the ability to instantly interact with CAD data and CAD Managers know that when CAD data has been posted the deployment is 100%, with no end user support." "Google Maps™ used AJAX to catch the GIS world asleep at the wheel, InSite marks the beginning of this process in the CAD World"
Aftercad InSite is expected to be released for general retail in May, 2006. For further information regarding Aftercad InSite and other Aftercad products, please contact Aftercad.
