TabletCAD
 TabletCAD is a PC program for
designing medicine tablets (CAD = Computer-Aided-Design). The program has
twofold utility, firstly high quality technical drawings of the
designed tablet may be produced automatically on a laser printer, using only
tablet dimensions as input, and secondly tablet volume and surface
area may be calculated from the dimensions of the tablet. The program can
handle all common tablet shapes:
- round
- capsule
- oval and modified oval
- triple-radius oval (simulates
ellipse)
- square, rectangular and
pillow
- diamond
- regular polygon
- triangle
- heart
 All shapes give the option of a bevel and all
shapes except triangle, polygon and heart can have a bisect (breakline).
There are 7 possible bisect types. The tablet cup may be flat or concave
with single or double radius (except the last three shapes in
the list above, where the cup is defined using single radius).
 An engraving for the tablet
may be specified and drawn. The character set supported for engravings
consists of A-Z, a-z 0-9 and a few symbols (+ - - / . × D ). The engravings
along with dimensions and a cross section of the engraving cut are shown on
the drawing.
 In the calculated volume and
surface area, full account is taken of bisect(s) and the engravings. Once a
tablet has been created, its specification may be saved to a file for
later retrieval. Both millimetres and inches and both European
and US paper sizes are supported On line help
describing most of the program features is provided. The program is
distributed with a comprehensive 40 page manual.

News
13 June
2003. Version 2.02h released. Adds a few minor bug-fixes. 17 Jan. 2002.
Version 20.2g. Corrects a (minor) zero-pointer error. 13 Nov. 2000. Version
2.02f is now available. It and versions 2.02c-d incorporate a few minor
corrections (see the readme file). 20. Sept. 1999. Version 2.02b is now
available and includes support for displaying punch tip force in US tons as
well as kN (kilo-Newtons). Note that there is a new form file field,
{$forceunit}, that will cause the correct unit name to be printed on the
technical drawings. If tons are used one must make certain that the text kN
is not hardcoded in the form file. See the form files included with the new
version to see how to use {$forceunit}. You will only need to make changes if
you are using your own version of a form file from an earlier version of
TabletCAD.
There is
also a new version of the demo program, where a small error has
been corrected (in the options window it was not possible to go past the
default form-file using the down arrow).
