Word2DWG 2.1 Released [07-28-2010]
DotSoft has developed a revolutionary new way to solve the problem of placing Word documents into CAD applications. The result is Word2DWG.

As changes are made, the DWG files are updated when the document is saved or closed!

We also added the ability to 'Color By Layer' all objects (fills, lines, and text) so that the colors can be controlled by changing the color assigned to the layers. Several other improvements including faster generation of drawings and more.

No VBA in Use, Fully 64bit Compatible [06-10-2010]

X	VBA		We saw the writing on the wall with AutoCAD 2008 64bit and began porting all of our VBA code to the Managed .NET API.  Autodesk has recently announced that VBA will be discontinued in a future version (2012?) of AutoCAD.  Our current releases contain absolutely no AutoCAD VBA code so you don't have to worry about the future of our add-ons.
√	64bit		To make our products fully 64bit compatible, we also removed all 32bit windows dependencies.  When you install our software, absolutely nothing is placed in the Windows\Systems folders; all code resides in the application folder.  It's so independent and versatile that (provided you have the licenses) it can actually be copied to other machines.

Jason Hickey of Civil3D.com (now with Autodesk) puts our Legal Description Writer through its paces.  Read his observations in this article.  Civil3D.com, An Incredible Tool for Surveyors, September 2006.

DotSoft's XL2CAD Receives CADalyst Labs "Highly Recommended" Status [06-01-06] Our fourth generation Excel to AutoCAD import and information exchange tool was reviewed by CADalyst Magazine and received its highest rating.  You can read the review then try the demo to see for yourself why XL2CAD 4.0 is the best tool in its class.  The highest quality product that costs 1/2 of what the competition charges makes it a true best buy in AutoCAD add-on utilities.

(And that was only ToolPac version 3.0!)
