What is ZWCAD?

ZWCAD is a computer aided design application from ZWSOFT that provides DWG-compatible 2D drafting and 3D modeling aimed at users who want an AutoCAD-like workflow at a lower cost. It supports familiar command line input, layers, blocks, and customization through LISP and .NET APIs, along with 3D solid modeling and parametric drawing tools in its newer releases.

ZWCAD is sold as a perpetual license or subscription through ZWSOFT and its regional resellers, with Standard and Professional editions available. Pricing is set by region and reseller rather than a single global list price, and a free trial is offered directly from the ZWSOFT website.
