Palette CAD 8, made by zee Germans, now for all to enjoy!





It is the end of May and I am increasingly beginning to feel like a parrot with each new post I write. It seems like the weather has been seriously over-discussed and unfortunately I really have nothing better to say about it this month. One thing I will say is that this myth of British weather is no longer acceptable. When you live in Germany (as I now have  for over a year), it is  German weather, and the fact it is also terrible if not worse has nothing to do with her Majesty's island.

Onto more positive things, and let’s start with the best news first. Palette CAD 8 is ready and now available in Dutch, English, French, Hungarian, Italian, Polish and Slovakian languages. It has been a longish road but I also believe it has been well worth the wait. The new version has been completely redesigned using the Windows 8 philosophy, making it quicker and much easier to use. The new extensive in program help system also makes it possible to simply pick up a copy of version 8 and learn as you plan.

Between 27th and 31st May our colleagues from Holland held an official release and training event for Palette CAD 8. Users were amongst the first to get their hands on the newest version of our software. Feedback so far has been very positive and encouraging, most complimenting the look and ease of use improvements. I was there myself for two days, and have very much enjoyed the hospitality from our Dutch partners as well as the free table tennis lessons that I received.


Thank you team Holland for a wonderful time and the ping pong training


To make great news even better, during June all our customers with current service agreements should keep an eye out for the postman, as your copies of Palette CAD 8 will be on its way.

Also during June we will be working on a downloadable demo version of Palette CAD 8 in above languages. I hope this will give everyone a chance to try out our latest installment and find out just how beneficial it can really be as a planning and selling tool.

Here below we have some early work examples from our users showing what can be achieved within the first few hours of planning.

Great start from Krzysztof from National Tile Ltd in Ireland


Both were designed using version 7 of Palette CAD and with little or no training. We will keep an eye on them and try and post some more recent work in the coming months.

For those of you also wishing to showcase your hard work please get in contact with me via egrabic@palettecad.com or post in our Facebook page.

Tip of the month! May: Licensing Palette CAD 8



The time of Palette CAD 8 in international markets is almost upon us and with that in mind I am writing this months "Tip of the month" for version 8. I believe it is very important to be prepared ahead of time. It also means that the future posts will be based on our newest installment. Should anyone still need a helping hand using any of our previous versions, feel free to get in contact with us or post your questions on our Facebook page.

Upon receiving your copy first thing to do is to install the program. The second will be to license your software. Version 8 has its own license meaning it is independent of any previous versions you may have, as such the new license file must be installed.

It is very easy to do, simply open (double-click on file) and run the .pcadlic file you receive. It should look very similar to the one pictured below.


The rest will be done automatically and providing you have done it correctly the window below should appear to confirm so.


Congratulations indeed, now once you have finished giving yourself a well deserved pat on the back please get into your creative mode, design some awesome plans and then share them with us on our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/164040557075439/.

Not long to go now!
