Nemetschek North America Previews OS X Version of VectorWorks at Macworld NY

New York, New York (July 18, 2001)? Nemetschek North America today previewed its Carbon version of VectorWorks for Mac OS X. The leading CAD developer on the Mac, Nemetschek NA acknowledges that the Carbon version is still in development and plans to begin the beta testing process are underway. Company officials state that carbonizing VectorWorks is the first step in moving its entire product line towards OS X compatibility. To that end, all of the Industry Series products, ARCHITECT, SPOTLIGHT, and LANDMARK will be carbonized. Once completed, the carbon applications will be available through Nemetschek NA?s distribution channel.

Sean Flaherty, Chief Technology Officer for Nemetschek NA, stated, "The carbonization of VectorWorks has proven much more challenging than expected. However, with Apple and Metrowerks' direct support, we've recently made tremendous progress. The new foundation OS X lays for us, as developers, promises an exciting future for Macintosh users."

According to Apple, OS X combines "the power of UNIX with the simplicity and elegance of Macintosh." VectorWorks OS X users will be pleased with the protected memory, which means greater overall stability and unsaved work will not be lost. Preemptive multi-tasking is another key modification that improves the responsiveness of the operating system. Finally, Virtual Memory gives users unlimited memory so users no longer need to manage the application memory themselves.

Flaherty continued, "We have a longstanding history on the Mac. It was the platform on which we originally created our product in 1985 and we have continued our commitment to it and our Mac users. Our carbonization of VectorWorks and the Industry Series is just a further example of this commitment."
