You can use the drawing file tabs to easily switch between drawings or start a new drawing and use tabs in the lower-left corner of the drawing window to switch between model space and multiple paper space layouts.Ī default Properties palette is docked on the left side of the screen and a Tool palette on the right. With the Ribbon Menu workspace active, the user interface (UI) is nearly indistinguishable from that of AutoCAD, with an Application Menu button in the upper-left, a Quick Access Toolbar across the top of the screen, and a ribbon with tools that look almost exactly like those in AutoCAD.Įach drawing appears in its own window, and is identified by a file tab across the top of the drawing area. You can then easily switch between them at any time by simply changing workspaces. When you first start progeCAD, you can choose between a classic interface with pull-down menus and multiple toolbars, or a ribbon interface that looks nearly identical to that of AutoCAD. Unlike some other AutoCAD clones that intentionally look different than AutoCAD, progeCAD should appear familiar to anyone who has ever used AutoCAD. ProgeCAD also stands out for its ease of use.
It even supports point clouds saved in Autodesk’s Recap formats (RCP and RCS) as well as the PCG, ISD, XYZ, PLY and LAS formats. With the new release, progeCAD can also import Autodesk Revit RFA and RVT files as well as IFC files. The latest version, progeCAD Professional 2020, reads and writes files compatible with the most recent (2018) AutoCAD file format and can also work with DWG files going back to AutoCAD Release 2.5. Developed by the Swiss company progeSOFT, a founding member of the IntelliCAD Technology Consortium (ITC), progeCAD is based on the Theiga library from the Open Design Alliance (ODA). In the world of AutoCAD workalikes, progeCAD may not be as well known.
