Intergraph Ships Imagineer Technical Precision Drawing Software

HUNTSVILLE, ALA., MAY 1, 1996 -- Intergraph Software Solutions today began
shipping Imagineer Technical, a 2D precision drawing program already
boosting design productivity at beta sites around the world.

Designed for WindowsR 95 and Windows NT, Imagineer features revolutionary
new SmartSketch technology that helps users rapidly get ideas on paper.
Imagineer supports the creation of smart or parametric objects, allowing
users to quickly modify objects by pulling handles or changing a
dimension.

Created for engineers, designers, architects, scientists, inventors and
technicians, Imagineer bridges the gap between complicated traditional CAD
programs and underpowered drawing packages. Users can read and write
AutoCAD (.dwg) and MicroStation (.dgn) files. In addition, Imagineer
offers intelligent access to native AutoCAD or MicroStation files, enabled
by unique OLE Data Servers. Ease of use in working with CAD includes the
ability to drag and drop CAD files into Imagineer drawings.

A Microsoft Office Compatible 95 product, Imagineer provides a highly
discoverable interface for quick startup; full support for Microsoft
Object Linking and Embedding (OLE 2); and easy customization with Visual
Basic or any OLE Automation-aware product.

"I really like the way it interoperates with Office products we already
use," said James Davidson, an architect with Facilities Planning and
Construction, Texas A&M University System. "The familiar and easy-to-use
Microsoft Office environment as well as the ability to utilize and review
MicroStation and AutoCAD drawings will be of tremendous benefit to our
project managers," Davidson said.

"I also like being able to use Visual Basic and C++, which makes Imagineer
very easy to customize," Davidson said.

Bill Plummer uses Imagineer with AutoCAD and MicroStation files he works
with at a Hoescht Celanese Corp. plant in Salsbury, N.C. "Imagineer has a
lot of horsepower for a low-cost product," Plummer said.

Imagineer allows the user to take full advantage of the world wide web. The
software includes a Netscape plug-in that allows the user to access symbol
libraries and files from the web. A shortcut can be put anywhere on a
drawing so the user can link directly to a web site - useful for
additional specifications, ordering information, facilities layouts,
spacially relevant information, etc.

Imagineer is built with Intergraph's Jupiter technology, a Windows-based
component software architecture that brings unprecedented ease of use and
productivity to technical design and engineering applications.

Imagineer Technical sells for $495 with user pack pricing available. For
