We experience some delay in the German interiorcad 2008 release and plus fight with a few remaining bugs concerning imperials in the international version.

Hold out for a few more days and you can get your hands on interiorcad 2008.

"Assign Cutting List Information" was re-written from the ground-up for interiorcad 2008. Here are the highlights:

Associating object dimensions with width/height/depth

If using "automatic mode", users are able to define which of the three dimensions should be associated with width/height/depth. Resizing an object along the given axis triggers automatic update of the cutting list information.

Transparency

Some object types are not yet fully supported in automatic mode (or, even worse, can't be supported due to technical limitations). Assigning cutting list information is still possible, but users are warned that dimensions of the object cannot be updated automatically.

Ability to link a custom VW object to an interiorcad unit

Combining a parametric cabinet builder with an industry strength CAD-system is one of interiorcads great assets. With interiorcad 2008, VW objects with cutting list information can be linked to interiorcad units. For example, if you create a custom finished top for a unit (e.g. by using a tapered extrude), the custom top can be linked to the unit so outputting a cutting lists lists the custom as part of the linked unit.
