IMSI/Design Matches AutoCAD LT 2010 Upgrade Pricing... And Offers Free Product, Too

NOVATO, CA--(Marketwire - March 24, 2009) - IMSI/Design, maker of the #1 best-selling CAD in retail, announced today it will match AutoCAD LT® 2010 upgrade pricing on DoubleCAD XT PRO, as well continue to offer the company's DoubleCAD XT for free.

Based on IMSI/Design's award-winning CAD code with over two million copies sold worldwide, both DoubleCAD XT PRO and DoubleCAD XT are AutoCAD LT work-alikes.

DoubleCAD XT PRO has a feature set that far surpasses AutoCAD LT, including powerful geometric and dimensional (parametric) constraints, a feature that is not being added to AutoCAD LT but only to the more expensive $3,995 AutoCAD 2010.

The company's free DoubleCAD XT boasts of innovations such as self-healing walls, self-aligning blocks, snap prioritization, and smart dimensions, features that aren't included in the newly upgraded AutoCAD LT 2010, either.

Regularly $695, IMSI/Design will honor AutoCAD LT's upgrade price of $575 for the next 60 days. Unlike Autodesk®, IMSI/Design will also include a years worth of premium technical support. This special upgrade price will be honored for AutoCAD LT versions prior to 2007 as well.

"If you need .DWG compatibility, you now have two powerful alternatives to AutoCAD LT in DoubleCAD XT and XT PRO," stated Royal Farros, CEO of IMSI/Design. "We think these are the upgrades that AutoCAD LT users have been waiting for."
