Altiva Software Announces CADconform Support for MicroStation V8 XM Edition

April 30, 2007 (Houston, TX) — The announcement was made at BE Conference 2007, Bentley's annual user event, where Altiva, a Bentley Development Network partner, was discussing and demonstrating the benefits of CADconform.

CADconform is a software add-on that works seamlessly between MicroStation® and AutoCAD® to promote and enforce 100% conformance to CAD standards. It is the only product of its kind that provides a tamper-proof electronic seal assuring 100% conformance to CAD standards, data integrity and user confidence.

CADconform is also the first CAD standards software to include the complete U.S. National CAD Standard (NCS), which is available at no additional charge for all U.S. customers purchasing or upgrading to the latest version. (For more information on the NCS in CADconform, see the related Altiva press release)

"As companies begin to implement the MicroStation XM edition, Altiva and CADconform are right there with the necessary technology required for CAD standards conformance and the business value that it brings," commented Altiva Software CEO Philip Hurlston. "Even with the new enhancements of XM, such as Element Templates and MicroStation Tasks, CADconform provides the missing yet crucial controls to correctly and completely assure conformance to CAD standards."
