<P><STRONG>Victoria, August 11, 2011</STRONG>--ShipConstructor Software Inc.
(SSI) has released a new version of its AutoCAD based CAD/CAM software.</P>
<P>ShipConstructor 2012 enables users to work in the most advanced CAD
environment by adding AutoCAD 2012 compatibility. AutoCAD 2010 and 2011 are
still supported but the latest version of ShipConstructor empowers users to take
advantage of several new tools and improvements such as enhanced surface
modeling, enhanced point cloud support for laser scanning, direct access to
AutoCAD WS, and in-application access to AutoDesk Exchange.</P>
<P>The speed of ShipConstructor has been increased yet again. The load times for
distributed system model drawings have been reduced by up to 10% and the load
time for viewing distributed system part property data has been cut in half.
Several new features and tweaks to the interface also enable increased
productivity. </P>
<P>&#8220;No other shipbuilding CAD/CAM application is enhanced as frequently as
ShipConstructor,&#8221; said SSI CEO Darren Larkins. &#8220;No other shipbuilding software
is as easy to learn and use.&#8221;</P>
