Announcing Hydratec Road Show '09

HydraCAD Version 50/51 - Coming soon to a city near you!

Earn 0.8 CEU

Hydratec will be making a series of one-day presentations in meeting rooms in selected cities around the country to show off our new HydraCAD Version 50/51 software. This version of HydraCAD is a complete overhaul of our drafting, calculation and listing tools.

In the morning, we will demonstrate the best new features of Version 50. We will also answer questions that arise. After a complimentary lunch, we will demonstrate 3D coordination using Navisworks and our new HydraCAD Residential sprinkler design program - HydraCAD-R.

All Hydratec customers are welcome - there is a nominal US $40 charge for these seminars, prepaid via credit card. We cannot give refunds if you cannot make it. You should download and install Version 50 or 51 before attending so that you may be better prepared to ask questions.
