FRAMECAD PRODESIGN 2010 Release

FRAMECAD PRODESIGN has had a major upgrade of the base IntelliCAD drawings software. This upgrade
provides advances in compatibility with other software and operating systems, and provides the basis for the
continuing development of the framing features of the software.

The FRAMECAD PRODESIGN upgrade also incorporates a number of enhancements to framing modules.
These include the addition of the IBC/AISI LRFD Design Loading option, and the integration of truss layout
and design options into the TSET form.
