A+CAD is a powerful Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) product for engineers, architects, designers and drafters. Anyone who creates, edits, or views professional drawings will appreciate the power and value of A+CAD. A+CAD has set the standard for affordable CAD software that offers full DWG compatibility and a familiar easy to use command set and application programming interface.  Anyone who has used AutoCAD® or programmed applications for AutoCAD® can easily learn to use A+CAD in no time. 

A+CAD is also the platform that supports some of the most popular applications for surveyors and architects. 

Here are just some of the reasons why users have switched to A+CAD:

DWG file compatibility
A+CAD's native file format is DWG. A+CAD opens, edits, and saves any existing DWG files saved in numerous versions, including DWG Versions 2.5 through 2009, without conversion or data loss. A+CAD provides industry-standard compatibility with the Autodesk® AutoCAD® command set, as well as programming APIs, such as LISP and SDS (A+CAD's C programming API). That means you can get to work immediately using the DWG files, commands, and applications you rely on.

Drawing productivity
A+CAD offers many productivity features to help you get the most from the time you spend creating drawings. You can organize items on layers, snap to items for precise positioning, work in model space and paper space depending on whether you're drawing or printing, and create 2D or 3D models. Additionally, the A+CAD Explorer provides the unique ability to review and exchange layers, blocks, linetypes, dimension styles, and text styles between drawings with drag-and-drop ease. And thanks to A+CAD's ActiveX integration, you can insert A+CAD drawings (or just parts of them) into Microsoft® Office application files for many cross-application uses.

Building applications
If you have existing applications that were built using the ADS or AutoLISP libraries, you can quickly use them in A+CAD using the same languages and functions you are used to. The Solutions Development System or SDS is a C/C++ language interface compatible with the ADS® (AutoCAD® Development System) interface. A+CAD includes a VBA object model to implement quick solutions or to create prototypes for SDS applications within your organization.

Affordability

A+CAD is a commercial grade CAD program that's compatible with the DWG file format and industry-standard applications without the hassle and high price of other industry-standard applications.

Convenience

A+CAD will not require any activation during installation so If you need to reinstall the program 25 times that's ok. Please be aware that each copy purchased should only to be used on 1 or 2 machines.
