Key Features

PDF UNDERLAY

DesignCAD™ includes PDF Underlay functionality, allowing users to incorporate PDF files into their designs for reference. 2D PDF content can be placed within projects to enhance workflow efficiency and design versatility.

2D PDF Import:

A dedicated import filter enables users to bring 2D geometry from PDF files into DesignCAD™, ensuring precise vector-based content integration for editing and refinement.

2D Adobe Illustrator® Support

DesignCAD™ supports importing Adobe Illustrator® files, with the option to integrate them as underlays or extract their geometry for direct editing. This feature allows designers to work with Illustrator® artwork within their CAD projects.

 

 

AutoCAD® Compatibility

DesignCAD™ provides full support for AutoCAD® file formats (DWG and DXF), ensuring smooth import and export functionality. This compatibility enables users to collaborate effectively, maintain industry-standard formatting, and update legacy files.

New Features

ODA Version 25.7 Support

DesignCAD™ supports ODA version 25.7, offering enhanced performance, broader compatibility—including AutoCAD® support from R12 through 2025—and access to advanced features and optimizations. This version improves stability, extends support for industry-standard file formats, and refines APIs for more efficient development processes.

SketchUp 2024 Support

DesignCAD™’s support for SketchUp 2024 enhances compatibility with one of the most widely used 3D modeling formats. This update allows users to import, edit, and export SketchUp files efficiently, ensuring a smooth workflow® between the two software programs.

DesignCAD™ Updater

DesignCAD™ introduces a new updater that automatically checks for updates upon startup, notifying users when an update is available. This ensures that users can stay up to date with the latest improvements without requiring manual checks.

Additionally, a new Check for Updates… button allows users to manually verify if any updates are available, providing flexibility in managing software updates.

Points on Path Tool

DesignCAD™ introduces the Points on Path Tool, allowing users to place points along various paths, including curves, splines, lines, vectors, planes, polygons, arcs, and circles. This tool provides precise control over point distribution, helping users create detailed and accurate designs.

Users can choose between two placement modes: defining a fixed distance between points for uniform spacing or specifying the number of points required on a given path. These options allow for greater flexibility in arranging points, making this tool useful for a variety of design tasks.

Basic Shapes

DesignCAD™ is introducing new basic shape geometries to expand its drawing and modeling capabilities. Users can define precise parameters for each shape, ensuring accurate construction and greater control over dimensions. These fundamental shapes enhance flexibility in design, making geometric drafting more efficient and intuitive.

Improved Redraw Performance

The Draw Polyline function has been optimized to deliver significantly improved performance. Zooming in and out or redrawing the drawing now happens much faster, reducing delays and enhancing responsiveness. This optimization results in approximately 7x faster performance.
