INTERGRAPH BREAKS THE PRICE BARRIER AGAIN; ADVANCED MANUFACTURING TOOLS NOW
OFFERED AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., April 26, 1995 -- Intergraph Software Solutions (ISS)
today unveiled its newest product offering targeted at manufacturing
companies. EMS MachineShop, EMS ToolShop, and EMS Fabricator provide
integrated CAD/CAM tools for manufacturers who want to step up to the
productivity benefits of advanced technology solutions. Value-based
pricing begins at $8,900 (US) for a complete design and manufacturing
package. Products are available for customer delivery today. Intergraph
broke the price barrier to high-performance mechanical design tools with
the introduction of EMS Lite last November. This announcement extends the
company's commitment to the fast-growing, mid-range CAD/CAM market.

"These new products are for manufacturers who are reaching the limits of
their current non-integrated, PC-based CAD/CAM system," said William H.
McClure, vice president, Intergraph Mechanical Software Solutions. "By
pioneering the mid-range CAD/CAM market, Intergraph has bridged the gap to
bring manufacturers the power of high-end, fully integrated solutions at a
value price. Now the benefits of high-end solid modeling can also be
realized in manufacturing and fabrication applications."

Dynamic CAD/CAM Integration

Intergraph's mechanical software solutions provide dynamic integration
between design and manufacturing. Parametric, feature- based solid
modeling design tools are fully associative with the manufacturing data
and require no translation of data or change of environments. A common
user interface further enhances a smooth transition from
design-to-manufacturing, thus streamlining product development while
improving product quality and reducing time to market.

"Production-proven modeling and design tools coupled with
advanced-capability manufacturing software are the core of these new
products. It all adds up to saving users time, money, and re-work," adds
McClure.

The new product packaging includes:

EMS MachineShop -- a comprehensive package of integrated CAD and CAM
functions for manufacturing parts and assemblies with 2.5- and 3- axis
machining. For faster, easier NC programming, this package includes
associative, automatic toolpath creation that optimizes pocketing, facing,
profiling, and point-to-point machining operations.

EMS ToolShop -- a powerful manufacturing package for mold, tool, and die
makers and manufacturers of components with complex surface machining
requirements. To accelerate and simplify NC programming, this package
provides accurate automatic toolpath creation for up to five axes of
simultaneous motion, with full collision avoidance and gouge detection.

EMS Fabricator -- an all-in-one package for the design and fabrication of
sheet metal parts and assemblies. The package extends the parametric solid
modeling tools in the EMS product suite with powerful design and layout
functions tailored for sheet metal components.

These products are available immediately on a broad range of platforms
including Intel-based PCs and UNIX workstations.
