We were quite surprised with the results of our latest poll – “Would you draw without a command line?”. We thought that only a few people would work without a command line, but the results were refreshing. 34% said they would draw without a command line. 66% said they can’t work without it. We wish […]

New Version of Butterfly is Up
February 22, 2010 – 7:07 AM
Hi everyone. We’ve been receiving a lot of feedback from you folks out there. We have listened to your requests and implemented them. Naturally, not all requests were fulfilled in this version, but as you can see – changes occur very often. If your suggestion has not been yet implemented, we might just be working […]
Can you draw without the command line?
February 17, 2010 – 4:47 AM
One of our main dilemmas when designing Project Butterfly was should Butterfly include a command line or not. Creating a Web-based CAD editor was not only an opportunity for new work flows paradigms but an opportunity to change or improve the editor interface as well. User interfaces evolved significantly over the past years. Even though […]
Present your work

A common problem in many businesses is that while programs are very good at designing, developing and creating something, they often forget the final, and a very important step – presentation.

Who is Behind Project Butterfly?
February 4, 2010 – 5:43 AM
Leer este mensaje en español Leia este post em Português For us, Project Butterfly is more than a tech preview. It is a vision in which us, designers, should spend more time being creative and designing, and spend less time handling software quirks. We shouldn’t be chasing old emails, and we shouldn’t be keeping dozens […]
New Version Up
February 1, 2010 – 5:31 AM
It hasn’t been long since we launched our project, and we already have a new version for you. Project Butterfly began as a start-up, and after we were acquired we decided we keep our start-up spirit. That means frequent version updates, and close relations with our users. We frequently check all your questions, suggestions and […]
Go Back in Time with Project Butterfly
January 28, 2010 – 6:21 AM
Does this look familiar? Wouldn’t it be nicer to have just one file, and it would include all the different versions it? It is nice, let me tell you. I kind of spoiled it for you, but Project Butterfly has just that. Ever tried looking for a specific revision you made to a staircase sometime […]
