progeCAD lets you export drawing files to any previous AutoCAD versions, both in DWG and DXF format. |
|
|
Total integration in the Windows® environment
progeCAD’s exceptional efficiency is guaranteed by its total integration in the Microsoft Windows® environment. |

PDF format Printing/Export *
The PDF format is extremely convenient for the publication of your documents, which can then be read with ADOBE ACROBAT READER.
Acrobat Reader is a free product; many PC have it already installed, alternatively it can be downloaded from the Internet.
However, in order to produce PDF files a specific product such as ADOBE ACROBAT is usually needed and this can cost up to a few hundred Euro.
progeCAD 2011 Professional automatically adds a virtual printer which can produce PDF files without the need to own ADOBE ACROBAT.
The PDF file’s parameters can easily configured.
Drawings can be also exported to create Layered PDF with the same Layers schema visible into the DWG |
|
|
PDF Import *
progeCAD converts vector PDF engineering drawings into the DWG/DXF format as editable objects. It accurately reproduces lines, shapes and text strings. demo video |

ACIS Solids
Main functions: Reads and writes 3D solid objects with ACIS libraries (the same as AutoCAD®)
Essential for those who deal with Industrial Design, Dies, complex architectural elements and generally for any application in which creating complex three-dimensional shapes quickly and easily is essential.
ACIS solids are available thanks to an agreement signed with Spatial, the supplier of technology for solid modelling to the most important CAD software in the world.
progeCAD 2011 Professional has implemented a complete management of ACIS solids, which can now be viewed, printed, created and edited.
Any exchange of projects with CAD, which include ACIS Solids (such as AutoCAD® 2000, 2009) is therefore much easier!
The creation of complex three-dimensional shapes by using solid models is therefore much simpler in comparison with the more traditional techniques. |
3D Renderer *
This is an ideal product for architects and for all those designers who need to view their own drawings in a quick 3d rendering. ProgeCAD 2011 Professional includes the advanced Rendering function, based on Ray-Tracing algorithm, and has the following characteristics: Rendering with light and shade, reflection and transparency effects
Material library like wood with grain, stone, plastic, metal, bricks can be personalised, different shades
Complete control over illumination thanks to multiple light sources
Exporting of images in JPEG, TIFF, TGA, PNG and BMP format
Smooth shadows, Sun position control |
iCADLib module and Libraries *
The iCADLib module for progeCAD ensures the best organization and management of the symbols Libraries.
Advanced module for blocks management. More than 20.000 2D/3D Blocks ready to use. Construction, Architectural, ANSI-ISO and DIN-ISO Mechanics, ANSI and IEC Electrical, Electronic, Steel Profiles, Furniture, Kitchen.

Gradient Hatch support *
Gradients can be displayed and created through an user friendly interface. Improved Hatch Form |
Quick Dimension
Create and modify quickly a large number of dimensions at a time. |
Google Earth Add-On
Import a Google Earth view to locate your CAD 3D models or publish your projects in Google Earth. demo video
|
|
|
Image Georeferencing
Georeferencing is the process of scaling, rotating, translating and deskewing the image to match a particular size and position. Special for GIS |
|
|
Raster
You can insert and manipulate Raster images with only one click of the mouse!
ProgeCAD signed an important agreement with Hitachi, which allows the use of this function in its top version. demo video |
|
|
ECW support *
An open standard wavelet compression image format developed
by Earth Resource Mapping.
The file format is optimized for aerial and satellite imagery, and efficiently compresses very large images with fine, alternating contrast. This is a lossy compression format. |
|
|
Jpeg 2000 support *
Jpeg 2000 is a wavelet-based image compression standard.
It was created by the Joint Photographic Experts Group committee in the year 2000 with the intention of superseding their original discrete cosine transform-based JPEG standard. |
|
|
Integrated plot interface *
Improved printer management with printer control better integrated with progeCAD, paper orientation control, Layouts configurations stored in the drawing.
|
 |
|
JPG format printing *
progeCAD is able to print your drawing as a Jpeg file, very useful for documentation, manuals, catalogs, brochures etc |

|
 |
|
Xref Manager
progeCAD manages the insertion on the drawings of external references, that is drawings dynamically inserted in a main drawing (by modifying a secondary drawing, the corresponding drawing inserted in the original one will also be modified).
Xref Manager is an integrated mask (similar to the one available in AutoCAD®) which allows the management of external references insertions easily and visually. |
Polar Tracking (Polar Snap) *
help to draw objects at specific angles or in specific relationships to other objects. When turned on polar tracking, temporary alignment paths help you create objects at precise angles. |
Recovery Manager *
Easy recover of drawings through graphic interface in the event of crashes
|

|
 |
|
Multidocument
progeCAD is Multidocument.
This means that it is possible to open more than one drawing in the same work session (multidocument session); planning can thus be very much speeded up and simplified. |
Flexibility and personalisation
Like AutoCAD®, progeCAD has a bar for typing commands and a series of icons arranged around the drawing area which facilitate and speed up the use of the various functions.
There are obviously pull-down menus which, like command aliases and tool bars, can be personalised.
Likewise the management of Layout and blocks is compatible and these can be managed and inserted with the same commands as AutoCAD. |
ProgeCAD New Wizard *
Original configuration mask of new drawings based on prototypes or pre-set values (similar to the one available in AutoCAD®)
|
