PRYOR, Okla. – September. 3, 2002 – Upperspace Corp. today
announced an educational CAD contest for teachers and students.
Upperspace
Corporation has announced an educational contest for both students and
teachers running through October 31. One teacher will be awarded a 2-day

detail in the August DesignCAD Newsletter found online at
www.upperspace.com/newsletter/august02.
Students are invited
to submit CAD designs created with any version of DesignCAD or the free
30-day downloadable trial version of DesignCAD to win a copy of
DesignCAD 3D Max Plus for themselves and a copy for their instructor of
CAD, engineering, drafting, design work and other vocational crafts.
Teachers may submit written letters detailing how DesignCAD would help
them in teaching CAD design and drafting to their classes. The best
letter will receive a free 2-day DesignCAD training seminar on location
at Upperspace. They may sign up three other instructors to partake in
the free training seminar.
DesignCAD makes an
excellent choice for schools given its power, flexibility, educational
agreement and qualified educational discounts of 80% and better.
DesignCAD offers the educational market a powerful 2D/3D CAD package at
an affordable educational price. President, Michael Webster remarks “I
taught high school music. Robert Webster, Vice President of Upperspace
and my brother, has taught computer science and programming while his
wife still teaches math and science for both high school and college.
Our father taught music for many years and was the high school principal
until he retired. Austin Acuff, our Retail Sales Manager, taught
business management at Vo-Tech for years. To say the least, we
understand the needs faced by schools and universities. Our educational
offering of DesignCAD reflects this.”
With a powerful range
of features, DesignCAD equips students with real world skills in
drafting and design applicable to architecture, engineering, electronics
and many other technical fields. DesignCAD supports import and export of
DWG and DXF file formats. DesignCAD offers flexible 2D drafting and
design functionality not available in other 2D drafting programs. Some
of these functions include: real time panning and zooming, precise
control over single line or double line widths, styles and fills,
flexible printing and saving of print settings and editing features
including fillet, chamfer and advanced trimming options. DesignCAD also
offers powerful 3D solid modeling functions usually only found in high
dollar CAD programs, such as: solid manipulation by subtraction,
exclusion, segregation or slicing, texture mapping capabilities,
animation recording and playback with support for .avi movies and .vrml
export, advanced viewing options, panning and zooming.
