Features Ready Steady Go. 'Ease of use' is Plate-n-Sheets guiding principle. In Version 4 we have been able to provide many additional features while maintaining the program's original simplicity for the basic user. More shapes In addition to Pipe to Pipe and Pipe to Cone, branches now include Cone to Cone, Cone to Oblique Cone, Cone to Pipe, Pipe to Oblique Cone, Rectangle to Cone, and many more. Multiple branches, with up to four pipes converging on a common intersection point. HVAC Rectangular Ducting including reducers, branches, Y's, T's and more transitions. More Segmented bend options. Vessel End Caps (hemispherical, torispherical, semi elliptical). Easy to use Shape Finder with an even better completely new Category Menu. This also provides a great foundation for our ever continuing continuing expansion of the system. Material Thickness. Thickness setting is now more conveniently located. Powerful Dimensioning with new horizontal, vertical and offset manual dimensions and improved Automatic Dimensioning complete with true lengths with separate step-off dimensions around the top and base. Individual Auto Dimensions may now be deleted or modified for a more readable drawing. Now includes Bend Angles. New option now prints the angle between two faces along the press line. Router depth option for the plastics industry. Improved Printing A Print Preview window now shows you exactly what you will get on the paper. Dynamic Viewing such as Pan and Zoom. and dynamic rotation of the 3D model in real time. Improved Lap Join Settings Move and Rotate nesting Move individual patterns in compound shapes for more efficient use of material. Pattern Identification Patterns may now be automatically stamped with the date, time, item number and project number if required. Area and Mass Calculation Automatically calculate the rectangular area and mass. Automatically calculate the true area and mass of the cut shape. Material Cost Speed up quoting by automatically calculating the cost of material. Includes a database that you can easily maintain with current material prices. Improved communication with CAD Dimensions and text now transfer as native CAD objects and the 3D wire-frame model may be transferred to CAD too. Even the model views can now be transfered as 2D views. Complete Portability USB Hardware Lock ("Dongle") license protection. A small electronic device that fits into a USB port. It means that you can move the software to another computer without needing to call for a new code. (A temporary authorization code can be issued to enable you to begin work immediately while waiting for the dongle to arrive) Discount Pricing for multiple licenses and upgrades. Call for pricing now List of Shapes. The following is a list of the shape categories. Within each category there are usually variations on the shape. For example, the Vessel End Cap category includes Torispherical, Hemispherical and Semi-elliptical shapes. New shapes may have been added since this list was compiled.

MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows (Windows 98SE, NT4, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Vista etc) USB Port for the Hardware Lock. 50 Mb of hard disk space The printer must have a driver that complies with the Microsoft standard for Windows compatible drivers. Some older pen plotters and some “Multi-function” (Fax-Scanner-Copier-etc) are not supported. Call or email to discuss further if you are concerned about the suitability of your printer. The Hewlett Packard DesignJet series is being used successfully by many of our clients for printing large sheet sizes. Because the pattern may be split up into small sheets and then arranged on the plate it is, however, possible to use a small (A4) laser or inkjet printer.
