progeCAD 2009 Professional 9.0.28.10
progeCAD is a computer aided 2D & 3D design program. It’s based on the IntelliCAD engine which just happens to be one of AutoCAD’s most powerful challengers. Because AutoCAD is the most widely used professional CAD software on the market today, anything that competes in AutoCAD’s sandbox has to be able to not only vie for attention in a difficult and entrenched environment, but also provide some incentives to move off the industry standard.
ProgeSOFT is a serious company with a serious CAD product and offers extensive technical product support, so we decided to give progeCAD a heavy duty test. We reviewed progeCAD over a two month period in a busy architectural and industrial design studio. The results may surprise you.
progeCAD 2009 is the next generation of progeCAD and represent the state of the art of IntelliCAD? evolution. His native DWG support from version 2.5 to 2008 and the high level of compatibiliy with AutoCAD? enviroment and interface are only two of the key features.
progeCAD 2009 , the State of the Art of 2D/3D DWG and DXF CAD, powered by the most recent IntelliCAD engine is an easy replacement for AutoCAD? and AutoCAD LT?! Share your DWG, import DWG from PDF, export models to Google Earth?, PDF print, thousands of free blocks are only some of the key features available…
progeCAD supports every important AutoCAD? file type, including AutoCAD? drawings (from 2.5 through 2009), AutoCAD? menus (.MNU), AutoCAD? scripts (.SCR), AutoCAD? AutoLISP routines (.LSP), AutoCAD? Drawing Exchange Format (DXF), AutoCAD? ADS Compatible programs (SDS, Solutions Development System), Windows TrueType and AutoCAD? SHP/SHX fonts, AutoCAD? Tables for plotting (.CTB), AutoCAD? Hatch Patterms, AutoCAD? Blocks, AutoCAD? Linetypes, etc.
. progeCAD, powered by IntelliCAD 6.5, is an AutoCAD? Industry compatible 2D/3D CAD application that works with AutoCAD? DWG files, from AutoCAD? 2.5 through AutoCAD? 2009!
. progeCAD’s original format DWG ensures a complete compatibility with AutoCAD? WITHOUT ANY FILE CONVERSION and without loosing any critical information progeCAD lets you export drawing files both in DWG and DXF format
. progeCAD supports an interface complete with an “AutoCAD? Like” icon menu and “AutoCAD? Like” commands.
. progeCAD Professional is general-purpose 2D and 3D design software useful for CAD field & concept sketch, electrical schematics, building construction, AEC architectural, civil, structural, mechanical and industrial engineering, carpentry RFI & “as con” drawings, MCAD mechanical layout, home kitchen & bath floor plan, property survey & landscape drawing to AS/NZ1100 ANSI DIN and ISO standards. progeCAD includes options like PDF export, 3D modeling, XREF & DWG block library managers, AutoCAD-style command line with extensions like VBA & AutoLISP, C programming and SHX fonts. progeCAD offers more CAD functions than AutoCAD? LT or TurboCAD Pro at a fractional price to AutoCAD?, ArchiCAD or Microstation. New licenses include 1 month free manufacturer TSL2 support, one year TSL1 support, and help on the CAD forum. Additional local support options are also available.
First and foremost, progeCAD is a serious tool. Second and no less important, the user interface and menu layout are very similar to AutoCAD, so if you’re coming from that world, progeCAD will be easy to get to know. Throughout general project use, progeCAD seemed stable. Because it also offers a familiar layout, getting up and running at full speed with the software took only a couple of days. The organization behind the IntelliCAD engine is unique in the computer-aided design industry, consisting of a consortium to update the source code and provide some marketing support, and members who sell the software on a nonexclusive basis. The common goal is to create something that is powerful, less expensive than industry giant AutoCAD, and of course fully compatible with AutoCAD DWG files. Because it’s the first question asked by anyone who is asked to consider an AutoCAD alternative, the very first issue we addressed at the beginning of the review period was DWG compatibility. I’m happy to report that compatibility is generally excellent.
