What's New in ProgeCAD 2025?

PDF2DWG 2.0

The New conversion engine with pages preview and such new options as Batch conversion of all PDFs in a folder, multi-page PDF conversion, dashed lines recognition, plus dozens of other important improvements.

Selection Cycling

The control of selection when you select an object that overlaps other objects. Cycling through overlapping objects makes your selection extremely easier.

PDF with Append function

The Append function allows to add a new sheet to an existing PDF to create multi-page PDFs when printing different views of a drawing or different drawings.

SolidWorks IMPORT

progeCAD has added import of new essential file formats. progeCAD 2025 can now import .sldprt part files and .sldasm assembly files created with SolidWorks.

New POLYGON GRIPS

Enable to display a new set of grips for rectangles or polygon polylines. Enhanced options to stretch, rotate or scale polygons.

New POLYGON PROPERTIES

Enable a set of new properties in order to better manipulate regularly-shaped polylines (rectangles or polygons)

Dynamic input feature on Grips

Dynamic input includes command prompts and measurement guides that are displayed on the screen while drawing and editings.

Geolocation

Geographic location information is assigned to a drawing file by capturing a portion of the Bing online map to an object known as a map image and embedding it to the drawing area. Map Aerial, Map Road and Map Hybrid visualization supported. With useful contextual Ribbons and menu.

TABLE and TABLEDIT implementation

AutoCAD® like in-place Text editing, numeric Rows and alphabetical Columns. New contextual Ribbons for Tables.

Autodesk Revit® 2021 Import/attach

Support for the recent Revit 2021 file format.

Improved Dynamic Blocks handling

New insertion options supported.

Wood Details, Steel and Profiles Standards

All shapes are now available in 3D

AutoCAD®- Like Solid grips

Use grips to change the size and shape of 3D solids and extruded surfaces.

Smooth Transition

Faster smoother transitions with animation while panning, zooming, or changing views.

Improved Array

- New Array Grips
- New contextual Array Ribbons

iCADLib Blocks Manager

More than 22.000 2D/3D ready-to-use blocks.

Import/ Export Multiple files

Import/Export STEP, IGES, PDF, DWF, 3DS, DAE (Collada), STL, LWO, POV, MA(Maya), OBJ(Wavefront), BMP, JPG, WMF, EMF, SVG

eTransmit

Compacting and transmitting DWG files with dependences by email.

ACIS solids

Reads and writes 3D solid objects with ACIS libraries (the same as AutoCAD®).

Publish (Batch Plot)

Layouts taken from one or more drawings can be printed or exported to PDF or DWF using the print settings of individual layouts.

Block Editor (_BEDIT)

The Block Editor offers a special authoring area to enable free drawing and editing of blocks geometry.

Perspective Image Correction

Thanks to this plugin, photos insertion is easy and intuitive, with the ability to correct their perspective through the multi-point system.

Color Books

progeCAD supports standard Color Books

Gradient Hatch Support

Fleshing out a drawing on progeCAD can give it additional impact during presentations, and the addition of color gradients to surfaces to produce a more "realistic" appearance is a great way to do so.

Annotative Objects

The feature automates the sizing of annotations such as text, hatch and dimensions in multiple viewports with varying scales.

Sheet Set Manager

Using sheet sets in the most basic way you are just taking drawing files and organizing them in proper order, so they can be easily retrieved when working through your project.

Point Clouds

A point cloud is a collection of points acquired using 3D laser scanners or other special technologies to create 3D representations of existing structures.

Compatible with BetterWMF

BetterWMF solves problems related to copying and pasting drawings into other software packages like Microsoft Word.

Express Tools

progeCAD Express Tools is a set of tools mainly grouped under the Express Tools menu which extend progeCAD functionality enabling the user to increase productivity through easy, fast and efficient performance of complex multistep CAD operations.

Digital signatures to DWG

The digital signature certifies the author of a file and indicates whether the file has been altered since the digital signature was applied.

SPLINE EDITING

You can delete fit points of a spline, add fit points for greater accuracy, or move fit points to alter the shape of a spline.

DYNAMIC UCS

The dynamic UCS feature automatically creates a temporary XY plane to draw on. The dynamic UCS feature dramatically speeds up drawing in3D environment.

HELIX COMMAND

Draws a custom 3D Polyline in the form of a helix

AEC, Civil, GeoMaps, Mechanical

AEC, Civil, GeoMaps, Mechanical objects support

3D PDF Export

3D PDF allows to communicate to all the globe and share your data with anyone in an easy and innovative way.

Arc Aligned Text

Creates text that aligns with an arc. The text that is created is its own entity type; it is not single-line text or multiline text
