PowerCAD Classic offers exceptional compatibility with AutoCAD, the world's leading CAD system incorporates a completely open architecture design, with drag-and-drop placement of system icons making it instantly usable by AutoCAD familiar operators and all others too. Its visual menu, dialog, and toolbox editor allows technicians of any skill level to instantly customize the desktop for maximum user productivity.

PowerCAD^® Classic 7 contains all 2 1/2 Drafting and Editing commands, 3D Polyline, VoiceNotes, Image Insertion, Redlining functions, WMF (Bitmap export), DWF, Recover functions, Windows Visa supported

PowerCAD Classic has over 300 AutoCAD compatible commands that require virtually no relearning, allowing a shared AutoCAD/PowerCAD workplace. The software has all of the drawing and editing commands CAD professionals expect. Advanced 2D drawing commands (ie. trim, fillet, or chamfer) are complemented by sophisticated functions (associative dimensioning and hatching).

Additionally to FLX (native PowerCAD file format)   they have added a feature to recover DWG and DXF files in all format versions. You are now independent from AutoCAD recover and audit commands.

PowerCAD Classic has the ability to run with different user configurations. Desktop settings, print configurations, alias files etc. are now saved for every user. PowerCAD Classic can define dimension style overrides for the current dimension style. This is useful when you want to create overrides to suppress or change only one or two settings of current dimension style (e.g. use only a different arrow head or dimension text size) without creating a different dimension style. It is the quickest and best way to use override dimensions. The new dimension dialog reflects the new capabilities of the dimension system.

With PowerCAD DWG Viewer you have an instantly useable 2D/3D viewing & mark-up system with direct support for existing DWG, DXF, and FLX drawings. Save time and money with the advantage of opening, saving viewing and mark-up drawing files in industry standard formats. Instantly edit existing drawing entities, add lines, circles and text to drawings. Runs as independent portable system or extension for leading desktop CAD systems.
