Use AViCAD with other CAD platforms
At the center of nearly every CAD workflow is DWG. Drawings are shared, reviewed, revised, and archived in DWG format—often across teams using different software, versions, and disciplines.
AViCAD is built around native DWG compatibility, so your drawings open, save, and exchange exactly as expected. On top of that, AViCAD supports a wide range of industry-standard file formats—from DXF and PDF to BIM, 3D, manufacturing, and visualization formats—making it easy to collaborate with AutoCAD users, other CAD platforms, and even non-CAD stakeholders.
Whether you’re exchanging 2D drawings, coordinating 3D models, sharing files for review, or packaging complete projects, AViCAD gives you the file compatibility and tools needed to keep work moving without conversions, rework, or guesswork.
Work Confidently with AutoCAD® Files
DWG Compatibility
AViCAD works natively with DWG—the industry’s most widely used CAD format. You can open, edit, and save drawings without conversions or workarounds.
Result: Files exchange cleanly with AutoCAD users and DWG-based CAD platforms.
Backward Version Support
When required, drawings can be exported to earlier AutoCAD versions.
This means: Clients using older software can open and review files without issues.
DXF Exchange
DXF provides a dependable way to share drawings across different CAD systems.
In practice: Your drawings remain usable, even outside AutoCAD-based environments.
Share Drawings with Anyone
PDF Output for Plan Review
AViCAD includes a built-in PDF driver for creating accurate, to-scale PDFs.
Why it’s useful: Reviewers can open, print, and mark up drawings without CAD software.
Interactive 3D PDFs
3D models can be shared inside interactive PDFs that allow rotation and inspection.
The advantage: Stakeholders understand the design without needing specialized tools.
WMF and Image Export
Layouts can be exported as WMF vector files or bitmap images.
Best for: Reports, proposals, emails, and documentation that require embedded drawings.
Send Complete Projects—Not Just Drawings
eTransmit Project Packaging
eTransmit bundles drawings, external references, plot styles, textures, and paths into one package.
The benefit: Everything opens correctly on the receiving end—no missing files.
Coordinate Across CAD, BIM, and 3D Platforms
BIM & AEC Coordination
AViCAD supports IFC and Revit file import for reference and coordination.
What this enables: Collaboration with BIM teams without changing your design platform.
Mechanical & Manufacturing Exchange
Support for STEP, IGES, ACIS, and SolidWorks formats ensures reliable 3D data exchange.
Why it matters: Geometry transfers accurately between design and manufacturing workflows.
Visualization & Rendering
Import and export formats like 3DS, OBJ, COLLADA, LightWave, and Maya.
Outcome: Models move smoothly into rendering and visualization pipelines.
Work Where Your Files Live
Cloud Storage Compatibility
AViCAD works seamlessly with cloud storage solutions.
Practical impact: Teams can access the latest drawings from any location.
From Digital Models to Physical Output
STL Support for 3D Printing
Export STL files directly from AViCAD for 3D printing and prototyping.
End result: Clean geometry ready for fabrication and physical review.
Built for Real-World Collaboration
AViCAD supports the way CAD work actually happens:
- Mixed software environments
- Multiple file formats and versions
- Non-CAD reviewers and decision-makers
- Remote and distributed teams
You get professional collaboration tools without subscription lock-in or forced workflow changes.
Collaborate Without Compromise
With AViCAD, your files stay usable, your projects stay connected, and your team stays productive—no matter who you’re working with.
