New Features for Autoship 8, include: editable trimmed surfaces, the new Blend surface type, allowing easy creation of chamfers and smooth radius fillets between two surfaces, real-time hydrostatics, and simultaneous multiple vertex control. Autoship Pro 8 users will receive the Model Library of marine equipment that will allow the designer to rapidly finish a detailed model of the fully outfitted vessel.

The software release includes supporting documentation, including a new On-Line Help System, new User's manual, and new User's Guide. This release will put the Autoship program several years ahead of its closest competitors in terms of functionality and ease-of-use features.

The Autoship program was the first PC program to introduce a GUI and now leads in the industry with over 1,200 installed user base.

Boston Whaler's, Chief Engineer, Dan Milke, describes the use of Autoship: "The incorporation of Autoship into our design process has reduced time and costs considerable. Autoship surfaces are used in the design of our hulls, decks and innerliners. All surfaces are milled on a huge five axis milling machine. Autoship allows us to edit the surfaces themselves rather than stringing surfaces between edited lines. Since the surface is the original element the Autoship surfaces mill faster than other CAD derived surfaces due to reduced processor time."
