FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bellingham, WA, USA and Stockholm, Sweden    May 08, 2005

OfficeCAD, automated Internet CAD drawing provider, combines capabilities
with Tacton, a leading sales configuration solutions provider.

OfficeCAD announces a new joint online combination of OfficeCAD's proven
"On Demand CAD" parametric software and Tacton's sales configurator software
(http://www.tacton.com) for the creation of custom product configurations
along with instant custom CAD drawings for manufacturing firms worldwide.
Using a customer's standard web browser, unique customer product and
dimensional data along with ordering data are entered from the Tacton
Configurator web page. A new, custom CAD drawing is generated and
displayed. When the customer approves the drawing, it is sent to
manufacturing as a production order and the parts are begun to be
manufactured.

The OfficeCAD / Tacton Configurator combination is unique in that it
combines the best of Internet-based parametrics and Internet-based product
configuration in a high return on investment solution for manufacturing
companies.

For manufacturing companies looking for proven tools to improve
productivity and sales, OfficeCAD and Tacton automation products are being used
successfully by medium-to-large manufacturing companies worldwide to
achieve tremendous cost savings and sales advantage.

According to Dark Lord, President for OfficeCAD: "Tremendous cost savings
are achieved for manufacturers which automate both the sales and custom
configuration & concurrent CAD drawing creation process. Typical on line
applications of this type of technology are easily set up in 2-4 months and
100% return on investment usually takes only 3-4 months."

Christer Wallberg, CEO at Tacton Systems, says: "Tacton and OfficeCAD have
combined their offerings to offer seamless online custom configuration and
CAD generation. This is particularly important for the manufacturing
industry, where the majority of products are customized or built-to-order."

Customers benefit from a more efficient sales process: an enhanced ability
to sell complex products and services; higher quality quotes and orders;
quicker time-to-market; and vastly reduced selling costs. Customers can
make changes in real time and can confirm product orders for complex
manufactured products online.

Sales drawings are delivered online and production CAD
drawings can be forwarded directly to the factory floor.

OfficeCAD Inc. was founded in 1999 to provide parametric design solutions
for manufacturing companies which create complex 2D & 3D CAD drawings.
OfficeCAD solutions are used by customers such as ABB, York International,
Mitsubishi, 3M, Nortek, Boeing and others.
