About
progeCAD is an AutoCAD® compatible 2D/3D CAD application that works with AutoCAD® DWG files from AutoCAD® 2.5 through AutoCAD® 2021 and imports Autodesk Revit® and IFC files! The best solution for AEC, MCAD and all generic CAD usages. progeCAD sells with perpetual licensing and offers more CAD functions than AutoCAD® LT at a fraction of the cost of AutoCAD®, ArchiCAD® or Microstation®. DWG is progeCAD's native file format. It is the same AutoCAD’s file format, so when you open an existing DWG file with progeCAD, there's no file conversion and no data loss. We provide industry standard compatibility with AutoCAD®, that means you can get to work immediately using DWG files, commands, fonts, blocks, hatches and Linetypes.
