Drawing
Express - The ultimate electronic drawing board.
The move to computer
aided design, or CAD, has never been easier than
it is with new generation Drawing Express from
Trial Systems.
Even if you have little or no experience of computers,
you'll find that Drawing Express will make the
transition from drawing board to CAD quicker and
simpler than you ever thought possible. This is
because we've designed Drawing Express to take
the basic draughting skills you already have and
apply them to a computer based system. So you
still work in the same way you always have.
Indeed, you don't need any computer experience
at all to be up and running with Drawing Express
in just a few hours. |

Simple to Use.
Drawing Express uses
the traditional methods employed for hundreds
of years by architects on the drawing board.
Basically, you set out your design with various
construction commands on a menu pad that you
access using a pen.
These commands create lines equivalent to the
feint pencil lines you'd draw by hand. You then
ink in the design on top.
Using this method, you can create even the most
complex designs quickly and easily.
Unlike mouse-driven CAD systems, there are no
complicated menu structures to learn with Drawing
Express.
Instead, with one press of a pen, you simply
select the command you want from a colour coded
area of the menu pad.
Saves
time, saves money.
What's more, you can enter a wide range
of projects into Drawing Express.
From barn conversions, where every line is out
of square, to multi million pound football stadiums,
Drawing Express will handle them all faster
and more accurately than using a drawing board.
All of which means you can get more done in
the working day. And that means you save money,
too.

The personal touch.
One of the main criticisms of CAD systems
is that they produce sterile drawings that lack
personal character. Not so with Drawing Express.
We've built in commands that let allow you to
create the character and feel of a hand drawn
plan. There
are user-definable lines, hatch and text styles.
You can even add your own handwriting. And you
can add sketching to your drawing to give the
appearance of freehand embellishment.
Drawing Express has an extensive symbol library
that contains the most commonly used details.
Windows, doors, electrical equipment, stairs,
sanitary fittings, kitchen units, cars, people
and trees. And the system is fully compatible
with all leading library disks.
Bills of quantities made easy.
Drawing Express is much more than just a drawing
system. It's a complete solution. You can identify
every symbol within your drawing as a building
component. This means you can generate a bill
of quantities quickly and easily. But more than
that, if you change the drawing, the quantities
will be updated automatically.
Drawing Express is the most exciting two and three
dimensional design and draughting tool ever developed
specifically for architects and building surveyors.
It will increase your efficiency at every stage
in the design process. |
