We release maintenance patches regularly to keep the technology up-to-date in your computer. All you have to do is click on Check for Updates command to automatically download most latest version of your license software from our server and update. No need of any manual intervention during this update process.
Capture CAD Points to CSV File
This program does the opposite of Importing Point Data from CSV File. You can click a series of points inside your drawing (like hole coordinates, road levels, block locations etc.) and their coordinates will be captured to an external CSV file. You can continue the selections as long as you need and program will continue to capture the points. In order to correlate the points data, ActCAD will add a serial number to each point inside the drawing and same numbers will be maintained in the CSV file.
Extract Block Attributes
Another useful utility in ActCAD is that you can extract all Block Attributes to an external Excel file with one click. No need to select any complex templates and remember the syntax as done in commonly used data extraction tools. The attributes as in attributes editor will be copied to excel file in same sequence for ready use in other applications like SAP, BOM tables etc.
ActCAD Explorer
ActCAD explorer is advanced tool to explore layers, blocks, line-types, dimension styles, text styles and many more at one place. You can copy the styles from one drawing to another simply by dragging and dropping them. Inserting new items, deletion, editing etc. are all possible in this dialog.
Ribbon Interface
ActCAD supports both Classic Menu Style interface as well as modern Ribbon Style interface. The tabs are organized in a systematic manner for each command group. It is easy to find the commands on ribbons with mouse clicks rather than lengthy drop down menus. Command prompt will work as usual with all shortcuts and aliases. ActCAD interface can be easily customized using CUI file or interactive editor. There are many improvements to this module in ActCAD 2020.
XREF Manager
XREF Manger is very useful to manage external references used in a drawing. You can attach or detach references to drawing using this dialog. XREFs are powerful means to link drawings without adding up the size. Also they maintain associativity between linked drawings. You can view the XREFs either as normal list or ladder structure.
PDF Underlay
PDF underlay tool allows you to insert PDF files into current drawing. There is a provision to select a page to be inserted into the drawing. Scale of inserted PDF can be changed as needed in all X, Y and Z directions. Rotation is also possible. PDF underlay is useful to draw some content with reference PDF contents. Link with original PDF will be maintained by ActCAD.
DWF Underlay
DWF is a Design Web Format file used to easily communicate drawings with others. They are light weight and easy to share with others without having complete drawing information. If you need to take any reference from DWF files, you can attach them to any drawing using DWF underlay option. Similar to above two formats it will maintain associativity with original file.
DGN Underlay
DGN files can be wither opened directly in ActCAD or inserted as underlays. All the options are similar to PDF underlay and associativity will be maintained with original DGN file.
Text Styles
ActCAD supports standard DWG text styles. You can edit existing text styles and create any number of new styles. You can browse all available text styles in ActCAD Explorer. Easy to apply text styles to all drawing annotations including dimensions with one edit. Copy styles from one drawing to another simply by dragging & dropping in ActCAD explorer.

2D & 3D PDF Export
From ActCAD you can export both 2D & 3D PDF files from active drawing. It has options such as layer support, orientation, resolution, embedding fonts and many more. The 3D PDF file can be viewed for free in Adobe Acrobat Reader with many 3D options.
Change Numeric Text Values
Sometimes in drawings, you may have to modify a series of number texts with some modifications such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division etc. Manually editing each textl takes a lot of time. ActCAD has an in-built program to modify your texts in drawing in batch mode. You can set the operation and parameter before starting the change. This feature not only saves time but also increases accuracy while eliminating any human errors.
Localization & Internationalization

You can call the defined fields in drawing annotations and in title block to maintain value associativity. Also fields are very useful to link drawing attributes to external PDM software such as SAP, Teamcenter etc. Same field can be used at multiple locations in a drawing and they will all update if a value is changed in field dialog.
POLYSOLID
Polysolid is very important feature useful in 3D modeling. It is very much similar to Polyline, but it creates a continuous 3D solid. You can select a profile and sweep it along a line, arc, polyline or circle. You can keep on selecting points to continue the 3D solid profile.
Annotative Objects
Annotative objects are useful to get different sizes of entities such as text, hatch, dimensions , tolerances, blocks etc. in multiple viewports. You can define many annotative scales for these objects and call one of them in layout/viewport. This will ensure correct display of scales in viewports irrespective of their scales.
Numerous RGB Color Values
ActCAD has about 562 RGB colors defined within to apply to your drawing entities like text, lines, hatch, solids etc. This will increase the compatibility with drawings created in other software. Moreover, these RGB values are useful for attractive presentation drawings.
Auto Complete of Commands
