Ancillary equipment WME awarded
HVAC contract Wilhelmsen Marine Engineering has been awarded the contract to deliver a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system for a new RoPax vessel being built at Brodosplit Shipyard in Split, Croatia for Compagnie Meridionale de Navigation (CMN). Under the terms of the deal, WME will deliver
everything from system design to material and commissioning of the system. Jan Wallberg, area sales manager Europe for Wilhelmsen Callenberg Flakt says that key factors in this project were energy efficiency and the environment. WME’s capability to deliver an energy efficient solution was probably the crucial point in winning this business, he adds.

Software Bricsys launches
latest version Bricsys nv has launched Version 10 of Bricscad, the DWG-alternative CAD platform. Bricscad V10 has a host of new features, foremost of which is eBridge. eBridge links Bricscad to Vondle, Bricsys’ “Cloud
Based” Project Collaboration suite, which will offer customers a more efficient way to view and share files online. Vondle supports up to 40 different file formats,
including DWG, AutoCAD, MS Word, MS Project and PDF. There will be no need to download the documents or have a local copy of the application and will allow large multi-megabyte files to be shared in seconds, via a web browser. Erik De Keyser, CEO of Bricsys said: “Bricscad
V10 is the perfect platform for teams. eBridge is just the start of integrating new team-collaboration
18
tools into CAD”. Besides eBridge, Bricscad V10 will offer a whole
range of performance improvements including; Smooth and fast view panning, smart selection highlighting, cycling through elements during selection, snap tracking with parallel alignment to Z-axis, gradient hatching, PDF export using plot style tables, amongst others. “Our success to date has been based on offering
DWG compatibility, a recognisable interface, real day-today-support and reasonable prices. With Bricscad V10 we hope to demonstrate that Bricsys is not just a slavish follower of DWG CAD but is one of the most innovative companies in its field,” says Eric De Keyser. Future developments of Bricsys will see the
release of a plug-in forAutoCAD and a free 144 page e-book “Bricscad for AutoCAD Users” is available online.
