VersaCAD 2005 for the Macintosh will debut at the upcoming World of Concrete trade show in Las Vegas, January 17-21, 2005. The new version works with the latest iteration of the Macintosh operating system, OS X 10.3 (Panther).
VersaCAD was one of the earliest CAD programs available on microcomputers, including “CADapple” for the Apple II. After languishing for years in the hands of various corporations, the original developer, Tom Lazear and his staff at Archway Systems, again owns the software and is updating it regularly. The new Macintosh release will ship next month.
Both the Macintosh and PC versions are available under the VersaCAD Unlimited Corporate License, which allows all potential users in one company to install VersaCAD on every system within an organization, even those used at home by company employees. The new VersaCAD Unlimited Corporate License also gives owners the right to donate copies of the software and supporting documentation to educational institutions at no additional charge.
