Overview
What is GoCAD?
- — GoCAD® is a computer-aided design (CAD) software that architects, engineers and construction professionals rely on to create precise 2D and 3D drawings.
- — Draft annotate and design 2D geometry and 3D models with solids, surfaces and mesh objects
- — Automate tasks such as comparing drawings, adding blocks, creating schedules, and more
- — Customize with add-on apps and APIs

Features
Working smarter is easier with GoCAD.
GoCAD® software includes industry-specific toolsets; improved workflows across desktop, web, and mobile; and new features such as drawing history.

Text settings
Create single or multiline text (mtext) as a single text object. Format the text, columns, and boundaries.

Dimensions
Create dimensions automatically. Pass the cursor over selected objects to get a preview before you create it.

Tables
Create tables with data and symbols in rows and columns, apply formulas, and link to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

Layouts
Specify the size of your drawing sheet, add a title block, and display multiple views of your model.

Views
Save views by name to easily return to a specific view for quick reference or for applying to layout viewports.

Action recorder
Record commands and input values that can be played back as an action.

Visual styles
Apply visual styles to control the display of edges, lighting, and shading of your 3D model.

Dynamic blocks
Add flexibility and intelligence to your block references, including changing the shape, size, or configuration.

Features
Work faster and more precisely with specialized toolsets.
GoCAD® includes industry-specific features and libraries for architecture, mechanical design, electrical design, and more.
Complete design tasks in a fraction of the time. Automate common actions such as inserting doors, generating bills of materials, and creating PLC I/O drawings. Access over 750,000 intelligent objects and parts with industry libraries.
Save time with specialized toolsets. These seven studies show an average productivity gain of up to 63% for AutoCAD tasks completed with the help of a specialized toolset.
