Why ZWCAD?
Seamless Compatibility
ZWCAD supports seamless DWG compatibility, along with various industry standard file formats. It reads, writes and saves DWG drawings directly, ensuring the highest level of compatibility when exchanging data with other CAD software.
Familiar Interface
ZWCAD offers a user-friendly interface that is instantly recognizable to CAD users, making it easy for you to start creating in no time. With a single click, you can use ZWCAD’s setting migration tool to transfer files like fonts, print configurations, hatch patterns, etc.
Diverse Applications
Base on ZWCAD's robust APIs (ZRX/Lisp/VBA/.Net), hundreds of applications are developed to make design easier for CAD professionals in the AEC and manufacturing industries. These awesome applications include Autoturn, TcpMDT, CADprofi, Spatial Manager, CSIxCAD and many more.
Exceptional Speed
ZWCAD is built to speed up your whole design process, especially when you have to deal with large drawings over 100Mb. lt won't slow you down like other CAD software does, so that you can focus on designing, not waiting for your software to catch up.
