The familiar and AutoCAD-like interface with similar menus, icons and commands make the transition easier for users who have previously been using AutoCAD. The software covers a variety of CAD and sketching applications, including concept sketching, CAD field, electrical schematics, construction, civil, structural, AEC architectural, industrial engineering, mechanical and carpentry work and more. The software is powered by InteliCAD 8.x, which natively works with DWG files and ensures full compatibility without file conversion. It allows plotting to PDF using color and style tables and printer configuration parameter files from AutoCAD. The Google Earth interface allows users to easily export models to Google Earth and see their design exactly where they plan to build it. It costs significantly less than AutoCAD, delivers a similar interface and user experience and supports similar file formats and commands. It works particularly well for users who are looking for an affordable alternative to AutoCAD without missing much on features, user interface and compatibility.

ProgeCAD comes with features similar to AutoCAD plus a few more at a fraction of the cost.
