In an unprecedented leading edge marketing plan, CAD International have announced that users of three of its product lines will be rewarded substantially for their loyalty.

The nature of the scheme allows an almost unlimted income stream and is really easy to take part in. Using a "win-win-win" priciple, existing clients benefit from the satisfaction of helping others and from being rewarded finacially; New buyers get to use leading edge software that is better value, unique or superior to every other product on the market; and everyone including CAD International benefit from an expanded users base.

In the announcement Mr Varley, CEO of CAD International revealed that, "Following big successes recently we've decided to give back to our customers. Most of our sales," he said, "come from referrals. We spend comparatively little on print advertising or big promotional events--when users are happy with a product they naturally recommend it to their colleagues and often do this more than once. I believe it is appropriate to offer loyal users a reward for new referrals and there is now an added incentive to spread the word even wider. In fact with this new reward structure users can supplement their current income or even create a profitable business."

The product range involved in the reward program include CAD Internationals most popular lines and are products that typically give users major increases in productivity and professionalism.

A new interim release of RealCAD will be available next month. RealCADV5.5 sports a new look in its packaging but more importantly adds powerful new functionality to its snap controls and refresh speeds. No longer do you need to use the secondary Location Command menu to find the centers or intersections, RealCAD's cursor now shows you when it has found these important snap points...just click when you see the desired indicator and the snap is complete.

Layers can now be grouped and these layer groups can be named, so if you need to isolate or switch a bunch of layers on or off regularly this is a great tool.

Repaint speed on large files has also been dramatically improved...and better still, when selecting large numbers of entities the selection speed is lightning fast.. YES!
This interim release is available to all v5.0 users for only AU$77.
Call or email now to get on the update list.

Because LANDWorksCAD has RealCAD at its core, it too benefits from the new features and speed enhancements of RealCADV5.5
This interim release is available to all v5.0 users for only AU$77.
