This software is better due to its AutoCAD capibility

The AutoCAD clone is exceptional and full of features without burdensome system requirements. If you can live with personal use restrictions and no reflection of post-2009 DXF file format revision, then go ahead and download this product.

This file is only 100mb, yet delivers everything you need for a starter pack. It is full of features and extras, these include: being fully 3D capable, vectoring raster images with Wintopo, and access to the vast ALE libraries (over eleven thousand pre-drawn blocks). It's safe to say this that this is a cutting edge drafting system. Don't mind the restrictions involved with using this software on Windows 7, there are plenty of options to accommodate this operating system.

Other important features to note include: IntelliCAD AutoLISP interpreter, oSnap like temporary point and snap, plus layers and blocks. Don't forget about the ability to edit xref, blocks, and hatches. There are options for both rendering and 3D shading. This is the successor to progeCAD Smart 2008 that we have all been waiting for!

Many times a client will create a ticket where someone has sent them .dwg files with this extension only a few programs will open or view progeCAD Smart for Windows can access these files for converting and printing, it even has some basic tools to work with the audoCad files which is a bonus, I will be keeping this installed for when it is needed, plus it is a much smaller program than the DWG viewer.

Regarded as among the highest caliber freeware available for its purpose,  progeCAD Smart for Windows is designed to meet the exacting needs of engineers, but created for the regular computer-using public.  Computer Aid Design program aficionados will appreciate the expansive nature of this package and the fact that it actually takes up very little space on a device.  Inclusive is the mandatory AutoCAD Commands, AutoISP and Express utilities.  Use the system to transfer data to PDF or JPG.  Besides its versatile functionality and high professional standards, users praise the system for being an easy learning tool and for its simplicity of installation.
