5th January 2009, Maidstone,Kent – Today Microspot Ltd. developers of 2D and 3D graphics and photo applications, announced the release of Alan J Maki’s Builder Pro sample plans and symbol libraries as an add-on to MacDraft Professional, the powerful 2D CAD drafting and architectural drawing software package.
Alan J. Maki owner of Beyond Basics Drafting & Design has been using MacDraft since 1985 and in that time has designed his Builder Pro libraries that allow him to be more efficient in the design process. Thanks to his libraries and MacDraft he can produce an average of 160 new home and remodeling plans a year working a 10-15 hour week. Alan says “With MacDraft and my libraries I concentrate on what is really needed and so I produce drawings in a fraction of the time it takes other home designers.”
Microspot have been aware of Alan’s libraries for some time and knew of his success in the drafting business. They have managed to talk Alan into making them available to all MacDraft Professional users to help them with their home designs. With Builder Pro you receive the complete system that Alan has been using for 15 years to produce his plans. From additions libraries that can be completed in minutes to 100’s of his common library items for plan, elevation, sectional views and more. There are two finished sample plans and a sample plan book containing over 150 sample plans to give you and your customers ideas. These sample plans are also available on the CD in PDF format and you can use them to make your own custom plan book and add your own plans. There are plenty of other sample plans and sample documents and it is all explained in an easy to follow printed manual.
