CompanionCabinet Software Names Nick Ritota-CKD,CBD as Director of Sales

Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) November 18, 2011

CompanionCabinet Software, LLC is pleased to announce the appointment of Nick Ritota as Director of Sales. Nick joined the sales team on October 31, 2011.

In his new position, Nick will be responsible for manufacturer and dealer sales throughout the US and Canada. ?We have two software platforms: one for dealers and the other for manufacturers. Our Aurora platform streamlines all aspects of a dealer?s operation. Our Phoenix platform allows manufacturers to receive electronic orders, track the effectiveness of sales promotions and streamline their catalog creation and deployment processes,? said Ritota.

Aurora allows real time visibility to jobs in the pipeline and is easy and intuitive for dealers to learn. Aurora includes tools for lead generation, quoting, ordering, scheduling, design & accounting software integration, marketing & sales analysis and more. You can request a 30 minute demonstration of Aurora if you?d like to find out how web-based software can make selling kitchens easy.

Nick?s experience encompasses an extensive 30 year background in the cabinet industry. ?I?ve known CompanionCabinet through mutual customers for almost six years now. I?m excited to join them because I truly believe that Aurora and Phoenix are the right answer for the majority of dealers and manufacturers,? said Nick.

As a former 2020, PLANIT and AutoCAD trainer, Nick fully understands the limitations of design and accounting software products in attempting to run aspects of dealer operations. ?Design software is good at drawing pictures, accounting software is good at keeping score after-the-fact,? said Ritota. ?After running my own remodeling business for 18+ years, I?ve realized that you just can?t manage your business effectively with either of those two products alone. You need something that bridges those two worlds together in a way where you can make the right decisions at the right time.?

?We are very excited for Nick to join the team,? said Brent Jackson, President of CompanionCabinet. ?Nick is going to help manufacturers and dealers become more successful at a time when they need it the most.?

About CompanionCabinet Software:

CompanionCabinet Software started in 1997 and has helped more than 2,500 users increase their margins and close more sales. Their mission remains the same today as it was over 10 years ago: to improve the lives of every cabinet dealer they come in contact with. Along with Aurora software, they?ve designed the NKBA certified 4M Sales Process? and the largest cabinet dealer resource center as helpful tools for cabinet dealers.

CADavenue Unveils Sheet Metal Design Software for Version 4

Bend, OR (PRWEB) December 27, 2011

CADavenue recently announce a new version available for Plate 'n' Sheet, a sheet metal design application which allows Steel Fabricators and HVAC designers to create ducting transformations more easily. Once designed, the results can be exported to CAD or a CNC Plotting Device.

Plate 'n' Sheet/Version 4 provides many additional features while maintaining the program's simplistic approach to sheet metal design. The new version includes more shapes and project categories to select from. Additionally improved automatic dimensioning and material costing has also been added.

Although AutoCAD is not required, Plate 'n' Sheet is able to export a 3D wire-frame model and 2D views of the model directly from the program. AutoCAD LT is now supported using the the ?Export to DXF? method.

The sheet metal software is used to design, calculate and unfold pipe and tubing parts often used for hoppers, nozzles, ventilation hoods, and HVAC pipe work systems.

"Many HVAC designers ask us how to easily create 2D patterns such as a square-to-square, square-to-circle, cones and segmental bends out of sheet steel. Our simple answer for them is to have a look at Plate 'n' Sheet," owner Victor Abella explains.

Plate 'n' Sheet can be used for various industries such as piping, heating ventilation and air conditioning duct work.

Typically without sheet metal design software like Plate 'n' Sheet you would need to create 3D transformations first, then flatten them out into patterns. Other methods may include creating complex triangulations or drafting projections on paper.

"Learning to use our sheet metal software couldn't be any easier. We've even built in a help messaging system to let you know if a size is not valid or conflicts with another size," explains Victor.

The process contains 4 steps unfolding defined below:

1) Clicking on a shape that defines the part or transition to be calculated.

2) Entering the dimensional values that define your ducting shape.

3) Previewing the 3D model using typical Orthographic views.

4) Printing directly or exporting to a DXF file (use it with a profile cutter).

Plate 'n' Sheet generates these patterns given the dimensional constraints entered in the dialog boxes provided. Then export or print the project to a flattened template and onto a 2D plane.

About CADavenue.com

CADAvenue is a provider of affordable mechanical and engineering software for AutoCAD, IntelliCAD and AViCAD. Various software disciplines include Piping, Ducting, Steel Beams and Mechanical tools. Many of CADavenue's products (including Plate 'n' Sheet) offer a 30 day trial before purchasing.
