Advanced Tools, Included in the Price
Beyond a full 2D/3D CAD toolset, progeCAD ships with a large number of advanced, professional-grade features that would cost extra elsewhere — including BIM import for Autodesk Revit® and IFC files for the AEC market.
File Exchange, Anywhere
Import and export STEP, IGES, SolidWorks, ESRI-SHAPE, Autodesk Revit®, IFC (BIM), point clouds and more — plus a built-in PDF-to-DWG converter that turns flat PDFs into fully editable drawings.
Advanced & Dynamic Blocks
Full compatibility with AutoCAD® Dynamic Blocks. Combine grips and actions — move, scale, stretch, rotate, mirror — to build one smart block that replaces dozens of static ones.
iCADLib — 22,000+ Ready Blocks
A built-in library covering construction, architecture, ANSI/DIN mechanics, electrical and furniture symbols, plus direct access to Traceparts, Cadenas and BIM&CO — over 100 million CAD/BIM models online.
Surveying, GIS & Civil Tools
Geolocation with Bing and Esri basemaps, image georeferencing, ECW/MrSID/JPEG2000 support, TIN surface generation from point clouds, and dedicated slope and topographic-section tools.
Architectural (AEC) Module
Draw walls, doors, windows, curtain walls, stairs, railings, slabs and roofs as true parametric AEC objects with a dedicated style manager — compatible with AutoCAD® Architecture objects.
Photorealistic Rendering
The included Artisan ray-tracing render engine delivers photorealistic materials, reflections, transparency and lighting control, with export to LightWave, 3D Studio and POV-Ray.
AI Drawing Translator
Translate text, MText, block attributes, leaders and tables in any drawing into another language in one click, powered by generative AI — while keeping the file fully DWG compatible.
Tables, Formulas & Excel Link
Spreadsheet-style tables with per-cell formulas and dynamic linking to external Excel worksheets, so schedules and BOQs update automatically as your drawing changes.
QR Codes & Digital Documentation
Generate and embed scannable QR codes straight into a drawing — ideal for linking as-built plans to maintenance manuals, spec sheets or asset records on site.
The Swiss-Army-Knife CAD for File Exchange
progeCAD imports and exports a huge range of CAD file types, so interchange with any collaborator or client is never a bottleneck — DWF, DGN, 3DS, LWO, OBJ, STL, SolidWorks, ESRI-SHAPE, SDF, SQLite and point cloud formats like LAS/LAZ/RCP/RCS are all supported alongside native DWG/DXF.
With the included PDF2DWG engine, converting a flat PDF back into clean, editable vector geometry — lines, polylines, splines, hatches, arcs and text — takes minutes, not hours, and preserves layers and colours exactly as they appear in the source PDF.
