Haestad Methods Delivers Complete Water Distribution Modeling Solution Built for AutoCAD(R) 2004
WATERBURY, CT, USA - April 2003 - Haestad Methods announced its latest version release of WaterCAD(R) v6.1 for AutoCAD, which offers civil engineers all the groundbreaking enhancements of WaterCAD v6.1 integrated with Autodesk's new release of AutoCAD 2004. With this release, Haestad Methods has further cultivated water resources modeling and continues to be the leading choice among the world's top civil design firms and water utilities.
WaterCAD for AutoCAD offers a complete water distribution modeling system with seamless data integration to AutoCAD 2004. This new program combines the functionality of WaterCAD v6.1's cutting-edge open-database architecture, complete customization capability, and easy-to-use interface with all the power of AutoCAD 2004. AutoCAD 2004's new set of features includes productivity tools, presentation graphics, CAD standards tools, and electronic documentation using the Design Web Format (DWF).
With WaterCAD for AutoCAD, civil engineers can leverage existing data to streamline the model development process with speed and efficiency and share design data more easily and securely. "We are proud to be a partner with Haestad Methods," said Chris Bradshaw, Vice President of Autodesk Infrastructure Solutions Division. "Haestad's hydraulic modeling software products built on Autodesk's industry-leading solutions enable civil engineers to create, maintain, and share water resources data seamlessly."
"We take pride in providing our clients with the most powerful and innovative solutions to meet their water resources needs," said Scott Devoe, Director of Strategic Development for Haestad Methods. "When a modeling professional uses Haestad Methods' WaterCAD for AutoCAD, there is no line between where WaterCAD ends and AutoCAD starts. The integration is so tight that users can use native AutoCAD tools and commands directly on the hydraulic modeling elements resulting in a complete, integrated design solution."
