Missler Software offers an exclusive online version of the TraceParts library

April 3, 2006 – Missler Software has just launched a free and unlimited access to a customized version of the online TraceParts library via its web site www.topsolid.com for all TopSolid customers.

This new specially adapted version contains all 190 catalogs available on the generic library version but with a completely new graphic interface which permits easier navigation and search options.

According to Christian Arber, Managing Director of Missler Software “We are very happy to reinforce the already strong relationship that exists between Missler Software and TraceParts. Easy access to components is critical for our customers.

The new tracepartsonline.net library now available on www.topsolid.com offers a well adapted solution for our clients around the world to help them increase their productivity.”

Missler Software and TraceParts signed the initial strategic partnership between the 2 companies in January 2001. At this stage the 2 editors developed a CD version of the TraceParts components library which was fully integrated with the TopSolid line of products.

This CD version of the library has been distributed all over the world over the past 5 years by TopSolid resellers and distributors.

According to Gabriel Guigue, Managing Director of TraceParts “Working with an international CAD/CAM editor such as Missler Software is essential to increase the distribution of our components library in engineering departments in the mechanical, tooling, machinery, aerospace and automotive industries as well as all CAD domains.”
