CADopia 6 SP3 is now shipping

CADopia 6 SP3, based on Open Design and IntelliCAD technology, is the latest upgrade of CADopia software featuring a combination of useful new features, performance enhancements, and overall functional improvements.

The new features in this release include:

True Color Support

CADopia now supports over 16 million true color variations. Instead of choosing from 256 standard colors, you can now use True Color to get the exact shade you need. It now supports Color book also. You can choose colors from standard color books (such as Pantone or RAL). Using True Color and Color books makes it easier to match colors in your drawing with colors of actual materials. You can create a Color book folder, save the downloaded .acb files into the Color book folder and can specify the path in CADopia Options > Paths/Files. This loads the .acb files automatically and efficiently.
