In the competitive world of architecture, engineering, design, and manufacturing, having agile and reliable CAD software can make all the difference. ZWCAD is the ultimate solution for professionals seeking the perfect balance between power, speed, and compatibility.
Compatibility
With ZWCAD, you can work with files in DWG format, the most widely used standard in the industry, without worrying about compatibility issues or data loss. Its design is intended to ensure a smooth and seamless transition, making it the preferred choice for architects, engineers, and designers who value efficiency.

The ZWCAD interface is designed to be intuitive and efficient, providing a familiar experience for CAD software users. Its clean and organised design allows quick access to essential tools, while customisable toolbars and drop-down menus make it easy to tailor the working environment to your needs.
Tools
From lines, arcs, and polylines to specific tools such as hatching, intelligent dimensioning, and dynamic block creation, ZWCAD offers everything you need for precise technical designs.
Adapt the software to your needs with support for LISP, VBA, and ZRX, facilitating the creation of custom commands and automated routines.
Apps
ZWCAD Software integrates seamlessly with a wide variety of applications developed by our trusted partners, designed to optimise workflows in sectors such as architecture, engineering, construction (AEC) and manufacturing.
These applications extend the functionality of the software, offering specific solutions that meet the most demanding needs of CAD professionals. For example, TcpMDT from Aplitop, which specialises in surveying and the design of road, hydraulic and urban projects.
Design without interruption
Speed matters! ZWCAD is optimised to make your entire design process faster and more efficient, even when working with large files over 100 MB.
Unlike other CAD programs, ZWCAD won’t waste your time with slow start-ups or processing tasks. It’s designed to let you focus on what matters: your work. Say goodbye to waiting and experience smooth performance that adapts to the demands of your projects.
