Exceptional Industry Compatibility

PowerCAD provides an exceptional degree of compatibility with market leader AutoCAD from Autodesk, Inc. PowerCAD is compatible with drawings, commands, customisation, and programming interfaces from AutoCAD Release 2007 and earlier. New users will appreciate its intuitive user interface; AutoCAD familiar users will feel at home right away using the optional AutoCAD style desktop.

With direct file support for DWG 2008 and DXF 2008 formats and "Round-Trip" retention of drawing elements, PowerCAD users can work side-by-side in a mixed AutoCAD/PowerCAD environment.
