Imaging software supports AutoCAD r13

April 9, 1996

Spicer Corporation proudly presents the spring release of its Windows-based
software Imagenation, a powerful document imaging product providing view,
markup, redline, edit and scan capabilities.

Spicer Corporation continues to increase and enhance its extensive list of
file formats in this release with the addition of AutoCAD r13.
Imagenation's ME10 MI file support has been increased by adding layer and
font support, construction layer creation with invisible object display,
and file loading speed improvement. Release 4.1 further enhances
Imagenation's Intergraph DGN support to include splines, dimension support
and color fills. As well, AutoTrol Tech Illustrator has been improved to
support layers.

Release 4.1 adds native file support for Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and
Hebrew text in Microsoft Word documents. As well, text load times have
been increased by over 100 per cent.

The latest release adds 27 new DDE commands, including dynamic
reconfiguration, to increase Imagenation's already comprehensive API set.
With the addition of approximately 200 C-callable functions, Imagenation's
total API commands are approaching 500. Imagenation offers tool kit-level
functionality for robust applications.

This release adds a floating symbol palette. Users can graphically pick
symbols from a symbol library and insert them into documents.

Release 4.1 creates a new way of viewing a document in more than one
window. Replicating an active file, users can see different sections of a
large drawing or simultaneously view separate pages in a multi-page
document. Changes made in one window are reflected in its copies. When a
window is saved, modifications are saved in all the duplicates as well.

The imaging software's printing capabilities have been further enhanced.
Imagenation is able to print nested multi-page documents. Other new
printing options include merging the image data prior to sending the file
to the printer, sending the image data as a bilevel, and using a slide bar
to adjust the darkness of an image.

The addition of an AutoCrop feature enhances Imagenation's editing tools.
This feature crops any white space surrounding a bilevel raster, reducing
the image to its smallest size while retaining all of its significant
data.

Incorporated in 1983, Spicer Corporation develops and markets electronic
view, markup and edit imaging software to global document management
markets. Imagenation represents over a decade of technical expertise,
customer-directed development effort and expert market knowledge.

Imagenation provides imaging solutions for a wide variety of office and
engineering document management and workflow systems.
Database-independent, Imagenation incorporates plot, scan, annotate, API
calls, hotspot and text search capabilities.

Imagenation's rich set of redline, markup and edit tools are unmatched, as
are its viewing options. As well, this robust imaging software supports
industry-standard file formats for CAD, text and raster, including
bilevel, grayscale and 24-bit color. Imagenation is available in several
languages.

Imagenation list prices start at $199 (U.S.) for Windows, Macintosh and
UNIX versions. Release 4.1 is available April 1996. For additional
