CADWorx DraftPro Launched - Free 2D Plant Design!

CADWorx Reinstatement Program for 2012

Nov. 22, 2011 - PVELite Version 2012 Released

Free CADWorx DraftPro 2D Software Released

Intergraph announces CADWorx DraftPro 2D software is now available, and it's FREE. This is essentially our CADWorx Plant software, with only its 2D functionality. For those currently working only in 2D for plant design, this is a great opportunity.

CADWorx 2D uses the same piping specifications as CADWorx Plant Professional, and even works with multiple versions of AutoCAD.

When the need arises to go to the 3D environment, your existing DraftPro drawings can be opened & converted to 3D by CADWorx Plant. To be honest, this is why we offer it free; it gives you an opportunity to experience the simplicity and ease-of-use of CADWorx, and when you're ready for 3D, we believe CADWorx Plant or Plant Professional will be a natural choice.
