CoCreate Launches SolidDesigner for Windows NT; Dynamic Modeling, Dynamic Relations, 3-D Viewing, Annotation and Conferencing Technologies now Available on Windows NT Platform.FORT COLLINS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 12, 1997--Continuing to build on its industry-leading professional 3-D solid-modeling design solution, CoCreate Software Inc., a subsidiary of Hewlett-Packard Company, today announced SolidDesigner for the Microsoft(R) Windows(R) NT platform. SolidDesigner is CoCreate's dynamic-modeling solution for 3-D mechanical computer-aided design computer-aided design (CAD) or computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), form of automation that helps designers prepare drawings, specifications, parts lists, and other design-related elements using special graphics- and calculations-intensive (MCAD MCAD Microsoft Certified Application Developer MCAD Mechanical Computer Aided Design MCAD Medium-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase (inherited metabolic disease) MCAD Minneapolis College of Art and Design ). It includes optional modules, such as 3-D viewing, annotation and conferencing. The software is one of CoCreate's core products that support the concept of shared-space design -- a concept that allows multiple users in different locations to work simultaneously on the same mechanical computer-aided design. SolidDesigner now complements existing Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking.

"Putting this software on Windows NT now allows even more users to take advantage of the capabilities of SolidDesigner, the most innovative solid-modeling solution available. SolidDesigner's ease of use, flexibility and openness make it the solution of choice for companies competing in today's marketplace." SolidDesigner 4.55 is now available on Windows NT 4.0, and all files can be freely exchanged between the UNIX system and Windows NT versions, allowing data compatibility. For existing Windows NT users, the availability of SolidDesigner on this platform means that 3-D MCAD and standard office applications can be run on the same Windows NT computer. For existing UNIX system users who need to add MCAD seats, the option of adding new seats on Windows NT introduces a cost-effective solution. SOLIDDESIGNER 4.55 FOR WINDOWS NT IS AVAILABLE TODAY.
