A $495 professional-level 2-D design and drafting program, Visual CADD works in Windows, so you can customize it through a macro language or any standard Windows programming language, such as Visual Basic or C++. Visual CADD's intuitive interface is based on design tools located in familiar, convenient locations; two-letter commands; and large drawing areas that are not obstructed by dialog boxes. Able to read and write Generic CADD GCD and AutoCAD DWG files, Visual CADD imports and exports data via DXF to share files with other CAD, CAM, and CAE software. The software features tracking and OLE 2.0 technology.
