MIDDLE ATLANTIC PRODUCTS RackToolsT 3 FREE LAYOUT AND SPECIFICATION PACKAGE DEBUTS AT CEDIA EXPO 2005

This significant upgrade features full AutoCAD compatibility, is available in web and stand-alone versions and does not require any third party software.

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, September 9, 2005 - In an introduction as important and ground-breaking as the software's debut in 2001, Middle Atlantic Products today unveiled RackToolsT 3 to the custom home integration market featuring full AutoCAD compatibility, operating independence from third-party software and availability in web and stand-alone versions.

With quick, automatic updates and the ability to transparently port projects between RackTools and AutoCAD, RackToolsT 3 improves the efficiency and accuracy of project workflow. RackToolsT 3 gives integrators the added ability to preview a project through side and rear views in addition to the front and plan views, a feature exclusive to the program.

"RackToolsT 3 frees up the custom home integrator to concentrate on the task of system integration and not software integration," said Mark Tracy, Director of Marketing, Middle Atlantic Products. "We developed this new version with the close cooperation of our system integration partners - so, especially since it has full AutoCAD compatibility, I'm confident RackToolsT 3 will have an immediate, positive impact on the efficiency of our 10,000-strong user base. And because it's free, every systems integration business should consider RackToolsT 3 for specifying and documenting their projects."

Rack ToolsT 3 runs on the Microsoft .net framework, standard on computers running Windows XP Service Pack 2, and is included in the RackToolsT 3 install package. The .net framework gives RackToolsT 3 significant advantages over other web-based platforms, including higher security, and minimal resource usage.

RackToolsT 3 is available in web-based or standalone versions and contains the entire Middle Atlantic Products product database. RackToolsT 2.5a will still be made available for those currently running the Visio platform version. For additional application details and online downloads, please visit www.racktools.com .
