Speed and Performance

New Engine

Ensures more .dwg and APIs compatibility, more fluid data exchange and big room for further improvement and development.

New Technologies
Like smart graphic partition, self-adaptive data model and memory storage management boost from 3 to 5 times user design experience, handling lees graphic data and memory occupancy specially on complex tasks or huge drawings.

APIs
Great compatibility of GRXI/GRX in APIs and enhancement on LISP rewrite performance from 5-10 times.

Outstanding stability

Modular software
where bugs and errors are easier to fix than before. thus there is a substantial improvement on quick technical support service for users feedbacks.

Broadest tools and functionalities

Support multi-languages with Unicode
