General Informatics Adds AutoCAD 2010 to Design and Engineering Software Portfolio.

BATON ROUGE, La. -- General Informatics today announced it has become an authorized Autodesk value-added reseller (VAR) of AutoCAD 2010 software.

AutoCAD is the world's leading design and documentation platform. The 2010 release provides more power and innovation to help customers document, communicate, explore and customize design ideas. With new free-form design tools, users can easily explore ideas in 3D models to create almost any shape they can imagine. New PDF import and underlay and enhanced publishing features can improve two-way communication with the extended design team. In addition, the introduction of constraint-based parametric drawing tools enables users to define persistent relationships between objects, accelerating crucial design revision workflows. AutoCAD 2010 now also supports 3D printing, which makes it easy to produce physical 3D models and physical prototypes by connecting to on-demand 3D printing services or personal 3D printers.
