ProgeCAD is a 2D drafting and 3D modeling CAD software that provides architecture firms with various functionalities such as file conversions, data import/export, multi-grip editing, data extraction, image correction, and more. It allows users to trace PDFs using color and style tables along with printer configuration parameter files. It supports various file formats such as AutoCAD drawings, scripts, drawing exchange formats, TrueType and SHP/SHX fonts, hatch patterns, line types, and blocks. Professionals can use the tool palette to organize blocks, hatches, and custom tools.
With its Google Earth interface, users can export models to Google Earth and visualize their projects at the intended construction site.
