Reliable CAD for 2D & 3D Design
ZWCAD is based on the latest IntelliCAD
and OpenDWG technology. It is a reliable CAD programme for 2D and 3D
design and it can help the engineers, architects, designers and drafters
to create professional CAD drawings.
DWG Compatibility
ZWCAD is designed to give you unrivaled compatibility with AutoCAD and uses the same DWG drawing
format as AutoCAD. You are able to read, save and edit AutoCAD files and
vice versa. You can also exchange drawing with AutoCAD users and open
and save existing AutoCAD files without any conversion or data loss.
Affordable Price
ZWCAD costs only a fraction of a full AutoCAD version while offering
similar functionality and unrivalled compatibility.
We
can offer you a free 30 day trial version of the software for your
evaluation via download or

for a CD.
