COADE Releases new CADWorx Design Review 2008
COADE has announced the release of CADWorx Design Review 2008, the first product developed specifically to provide faster and easier review of CADWorx and ancillary plant design models by designers, project managers, facility owners and other stakeholders involved in the review, modification and approval of the design prior to fabrication or construction. CADWorx Design Review makes collaboration efficient and fast because each stakeholder can see an accurate 3D model of how the design will look when completed, and its highly intuitive, interactive tolls make it easy to produce review deliverables such as markups, comments and red-lining. It reduces the need to interpret the design using cumbersome paper printouts and other non-interactive tools, saving time and helping lessen the risk of overlooking design errors that would cost much more to fix later during fabrication and construction.

Big Success ! COADE/ImageGrafix CADWorx Discovery Tour Middle East Feb 2008
COADE and ImageGrafix just concluded two highly successful technical presentations of CADWorx Plant design solutions. These events which several of our key clients throughout the region participated at were held in Abu Dhabi's Crowne Plaza Hotel (Feb 11th) and in Doha at InterContinental Hotel (Feb 13th). CADWorx Discovery Tours, organized in conjunction with ImageGrafix, COADE’s Global Network Partner covering the region, were part of a series of educational sessions featuring CADWorx Plant Design Suite 2008 that highlights new capabilities such as tighter integration between CADWorx Plant Professional and CADWorx P&ID Professional.
COADE Discovery Tour events in the USA, Australia, Asia, Mexico and Africa in 2007-2008 have attracted a record number of plant designers and engineers. “We are pleased with this high level of interest we are seeing, which we attribute in large part to the huge increases in the CADWorx Plant Design Suite user base over the past several years,” explained John Brinlee, sales manager of Plant Design Solutions at COADE. “Those attending have been overwhelmingly positive because of the nonsales approach of the agenda, and they seem to be delighted with a chance to see these products and hear about COADE’s future plans for developing CADWorx.”
