Excerpt:

"...Training in the CAD Zone diagraming software is available at community colleges throughout the country. Its built-in user-friendly features makes the software relatively easy to learn.. The Easy Line feature, for example, allows users to enter the distance between two points, then click an arrow for the direction and the software automatically drops in a line that is to scale. The software also includes other tools that simplify entering data and ensure accuracy."

"... The Crash Zone’s built-in intersections enable investigators to enter basic information and create an intersection in minutes. This offers tremendous time-savings to users. If there’s an intersection that has a high number of accidents, it can be saved into the program for future use. Once it is saved, the investigator simply adds the vehicles, enters his new measurements, and within a few minutes he can create a completely new crash scene diagram.. ... The CAD Zone’s programs allow users to download data from LTI’s laser systems, while building in the functionality to hand-enter data as well. ..."
