2 CAMOD THE COMPLETE CAD/CAM-SYSTEM FOR ARCHITECTURAL MODEL-MAKERS CAMOD, the name for Computer Aided Model-Making and the fastest way to perfect models. Professional quality. Easy handling. Programmed for precision and efficiency. Direct machine output for milling, cutting, engraving and drawing. Make use of our experience. Since 1992 several sophisticated model-makers have decided to use this specialized solution: from Dublin to Sydney, from Hamburg to Porto. "You won't be happy 'til you own it". Satisfied customers are our best references.

CAMOD FOR WINDOWS MAKE IT EASY! Easy to learn, powerful and uncomplicated: that's CAMOD, the specialized software package for architecural model-makers. Working on actual Windows PCs.

Work space: Place your drawn parts on the machine's working area and save expensive material by nesting drawing planes.

.. Plane Calculation: Converts tilted planes into their real size. Layers: Use the layer system to organize the drawing and separate for example construction parts from milling contours.

3 CAMOD FOR WINDOWS MAKE IT EASY! Easy to learn, powerful and uncomplicated: that's CAMOD, the specialized software package for architecural model-makers. Working on actual Windows PCs. CNC Contours: Generates and sorts automatically milling contours of your planes. Data sort: Reduces machine movements and increases milling quality. Work space: Place your drawn parts on the machine's working area and save expensive material by nesting drawing planes. Plane clearing ("pocket milling") Milling of facades and other parts with extremely small router diameters. Cutting of window frames, varnishing patterns, surface structuring,... Plane Calculation: Converts tilted planes into their real size. Layers: Use the layer system to organize the drawing and separate for example construction parts from milling contours. It comes with a comfortable CAMOD keyboard, which gives you the fastest possible access to the most often used program features. Q-Spline-Curves for digitizing landscape plans. CAMOD for Windows is the ideal 2D- CAD- software package to solve all kind of drawing and construction jobs around scaled models. The Help feature assists you with on screen help pages for the choosen function. Combined with a ZÜND Tool Plotter, you will own a powerful and flexible "Milling and Cutting Center" for model-making. A large amount of easy-understandable functions allow fast creation and editing even of complex drawings.

DATA EXCHANGE DATA INTERFACES WITH FUTURE Drawing data exchange becomes more important every day. Also model-makers are getting the plans and drawings in DXF or DWG format from their customers.

2000" may be imported into CAMOD after installing dwgexpress, a separate translater program, which is integrated into CAMOD's menus. 2D-DXF up to Rel.2000 and DWG 2D-DXF up to Rel.

4 DATA EXCHANGE DATA INTERFACES WITH FUTURE Drawing data exchange becomes more important every day. Also model-makers are getting the plans and drawings in DXF or DWG format from their customers. CAMOD für Windows allows the import and export of "Rel. 12" DXF files. DWG and DXF files up to "Rel. 2000" may be imported into CAMOD after installing dwgexpress, a separate translater program, which is integrated into CAMOD's menus. 2D-DXF up to Rel.2000 and DWG 2D-DXF up to Rel. 12 dwgexpress Add-On- Program CAMOD DXF- to RDF-Translator Nevertheless we want to stress, that it is not possible to convert 100% of all DXF or DWG files, created by a CADsoftware. Neither DXF nor DWG is a perfect standard and all the different software manufacturers have their own "interpretation". And last but not least the user and drawing creator could make something wrong.
