Stardraw.com reports well over 1000 registrants for Stardraw Design 7 public beta program

Following the unveiling of their latest design/documentation tool, Stardraw Design 7, at InfoComm last month, industry-leading software provider Stardraw.com has reported a massive uptake for the public beta program.

Stardraw.com marketing director Rob Robinson explained that the beta program for Design 7 was announced publically on Friday 1st July and interested parties were invited to register. Considering that it was the start of one of the biggest holiday weekends in the US, we were anticipating a slow take-up in the first week following the announcement. However, by Tuesday 5th July, despite the fact that there had been no working days in the US since the beta program was announced, we already had well over 1000 registrants!

The application is Stardraw.coms seventh-generation software solution for systems integrators. Offering a holistic approach to system design and documentation, Stardraw Design 7 is a modular package which will enable integrators to custom configure the software to suit their particular specifications and budget.

Using an entirely new codebase, Stardraw Design 7 accesses a single project- and product-centric database which is accessible via tried and trusted task-oriented drawing environments such as Block Schematics and Rack Layouts as well as a new, grid-based product selector. A key advantage of this approach is that each environment is simply a view of the central project database that contains ALL of the data relating to your project, right down to the last nut and bolt. The Linkage feature means that changes made in any one drawing or environment will be automatically applied to all other drawings and views in the project. Furthermore, a brand new feature in Design 7 is the Symbols Palette which enables you to see the products that are not being used in the current drawing. Its an extremely useful feature for keeping track of your project and for making sure that you havent overlooked anything when building your racks, designing your system schematic etc.

Other new and improved features include a multi-tab interface so that all drawings are accessible at the same time, with each drawing on its own tab; fully integrated project reporting; compatibility with the latest versions of AutoCAD (R12 2010) and Visio as well as a built-in PDF-generator. There is also a Product Wizard a step up from the Symbol Wizard in previous versions which allows you to create a product with all of its associated symbols and data.

An even slicker, smoother drawing interface and powerful new tools make Stardraw Design 7 a multi-generational leap forward. The public beta phase is now under way, and an official launch will follow later in the year once the beta feedback has been processed.

Were very proud of this new application; our most powerful and streamlined off-the-shelf design/documentation package yet, commented Stardraw.com CEO, David Snipp. The codebase, although new to the product family, isnt new to us: its been used by well over 25,000 customers of our OEM applications. Nevertheless, in order to be completely sure that our product responds fully to market requirements, weve initiated a public beta phase in order to give our customers the opportunity to come back to us with suggestions, observations etc. Customer feedback is the number one tool for us to improve our products and our service. We not only welcome feedback, we actively encourage it hence the beta program. Weve had a tremendous response so far to the public beta and its not too late to register, so please visit our website and take part!
