- Network License (can be installed on unlimited PCs in the local LAN and used at the same time by several users according to the purchased licenses (1 NLM = 1 concurrent user). The number of network floating licenses determines how many users can work with the product concurrently, so in accordance with this the necessary number of licenses should be acquired.)

• progeCAD licenses are managed by Network License Manager (NLM). NLM can be installed into a server or a workstation under the same LAN network. 
• NLM license can be installed into many PCs around the same LAN network. On execution of progeCAD, a license will be released by the NLM. On terminating progeCAD, the license will be restored into NLM for next progeCAD execution. See extra note below.  Extra note on NLM

progeCAD 2019: What's new?

A quick tour of the main progeCAD 2019 new features. STEP/IGES Import-Export, IFC BIM Import, Civil/Survey DTM Features Slope and Sections, 4K display Support, Improved Xrefs, the enhanced Interface, the CUI Editor etc.

NEW COMMANDS

• AUTOSEZ is a tool for the automatic creation of surface profiles to show surface elevations along a horizontal alignment to represent, for example, road edges or ditches (Topographic Sections - AutoCAD Civil 3D Feature)
• SLOPE is a tool for an easy creation of terrain slope lines (ticks) between two edges or for a conversion of polylines into slope-style polylines (Topographic Sections - AutoCAD® Civil 3D Feature)
  files files.
• Fast triangulation of unordered point clouds. Creation of TIN surfaces from points within point cloud scan files. AUTOSEZ command can be applied to these surfaces. 
• Numbered Markers (Bubbles) automatically creates bubbles with sequence numbers or letters
• Total Length Measure. Calculation of the total length of selected entities.
  a. The Cumulative length is displayed in the properties palette when the user selects some polylines and lines.
  b. When the user selects more than one hatch, the Total Area is displayed in the properties palette.
• AIDIMFLIPARROW flips the direction of arrowheads on Dimensions.
• Plot Margin Customization (Zero Margin). Editing standard paper size margins of plotters/printers. Print over the standard devices margins and cover the entire sheet area.
• PointCloud. Color Map. Set color scheme for imported PointClouds
• PointCloud. ESNAP Support on Points.   
• Sort Data Extraction. Changing the sort order of tables generated by attribute extraction based on Columns.
• BetterWMF Integration ( https://www.furix.com/betterwmf ) solves the problems related to copying and pasting drawings into other software packages like Microsoft Word optimizing the color/definition/borders of clipped WMF.
• SENDTOSKYPE command allows sending entities selected from a drawing through Skype.
• Advanced Copy&Paste adds an option to enable Copy&Paste of selected entities as CAD data into other applications like Explorer or Chat apps (Telegram etc.). Fast transfer via Chat of a dwg file that contains only your selection.

IMPORT EXPORT

Many new file formats are now supported. See the list below.
IMPORT:

• STEP (.stp, .step) and IGES (.iges, .igs)
• Maya .RGT
• Wavefront .OBJ
• 3D Studio file .3DS
• LightWave .LWO
• IFC (Underlays)
   Attach IFC underlays. The IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) format file allows interchange data between BIM applications.
  The IFCPANE command allows opening the Objects categories panel in order to control visibility. Once the .ifc underlay is attached, it is possible to snap to its entities or explode it converting into editable CAD data.
• Google Earthfile .KMZ
• Improved ESRI Shape (.shp) import. Base Elevation (initial Z value) can be set.
• Pointcloud .LAS (as CAD points)
• Pointcloud .XYZ (as CAD points)
• Stereo Lithography file .STL
• Virtual Reality Modeling Languagefile .VRML
  
  EXPORT:
   
• STEP and IGES
• Wavefront .OBJ
• Maya .MA
• LightWave .LWO
