Are you a mechanical detailer who’s completely frustrated dimensioning your 3D models?
Do you need to dimension complex 3D drawings and just don’t know where to start?
Have you ever had to re-dimension you’re drawing several times to get your dimension line in the right place or on the right 3D plane? Read more →

If your looking for the best Engineering Software that does it all, then our Mech-Q is where you need to be.
Mechanical Engineering Software Suite features parametric menus, meaning you simply pick and choose what you need. The program creates the drawing for you.

Thankfully there’s a real easy solution to this painstaking task in our new Mech-Q release. In both AutoCAD and AViCAD (our AutoCAD alternative) you’ll find a new tool called 3D Dimension. It can be located within a Toolbar we call Piping Extra. Read more →
Flanges can be a little tricky to draw by hand in CAD – especially if drawing in 3D. Today we are drawing pipe flanges in a isometric view using our Mech-Q tool in AViCAD.
Upon loading the the main piping dialog box from the toolbar or Mech-Q pulldown you can select either single, double line or 3D. In the video example below, we are working with the 3D option.

We are happy to inform you that an AViCAD Pro update is now available! Now DWG 2.5-2017 support with quick install and simplified registration plus hundreds of bonus utilities.
AViCAD is a IntelliCAD based CAD Application which is rapidly becoming the choice among firms across the USA, Canada and Europe. You will find that the commands and icons and commands will be instantly familiar to you. Its an extremely affordable AutoCAD alternative.
Best of all AViCAD is 100% compatible with our engineering software. It features a easy to use drop down menu and toolbar interface that integrates into the CAD program.
And AViCAD is fully Compatible with the Windows 8 /8.1/10 too!
AViCAD will run on all 32 and 64 bit Windows computers, plus it saves to DWG files by default without the need for manual import or export operations. AViCAD is available in both (AViCAD Piping ) or both 2D & 3D (AViCAD Pro).
