    HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 14, 2005--

New Version Offers Alternative for Forced Retirement of AutoCAD Products
    Intergraph Corporation (NASDAQ:INGR) is shipping SmartSketch 5.0 (www.SmartSketch.com), parametric 2D precision design, production drafting and diagramming software. A cost-effective, alternative solution for companies dealing with forced retirement of Autodesk products, the 5.0 version helps increase productivity and lower costs through automation. New features include the Line Style Editor, expanded interoperability, Image Integrator enhancements and a number of other improvements. SmartSketch is the ideal engineering companion to the SmartPlant(R) software suite.
    The new Line Style Editor enables users to create linear styles with embedded graphics, such as text or symbols as well as define specific dash gap sequences. To expand interoperability alternatives, SmartSketch provides attribute retention in exported DWG files and also supports foreign reference files in documents saved as DWG, DGN and DXF.
    SmartSketch 5.0 offers the Speckle Removal command in the Image Integrator, which removes dots or speckles up to a certain pixel size for binary file types. The command cleans up scanned images for use in civil or any other engineering discipline. The new Multi-Point Warp command warps the raster image based on multiple source/destination points. Multi-Point Warp enables engineers to manipulate image data in aerial or scanned images and overlay design content on them. Commands from the SmartSketch 4.0 PowerPack are now part of the main user interface and no longer require a separate installation. Several new enhancements to Labels, Textboxes, and Leaders combine to make labeling and annotating drawings faster and easier in SmartSketch 5.0.
