Seems we have garnered the attention of one of the up and coming "players" in the world of CAD. Welcome ZWCAD to the CADTutor forum.

Your comments are appreciated.

hi all, ZWCAD is base on IntelliCAD, but ZWCAD+ has new kernel, that is why ZWCAD+ has much ability with large drawing and better capability of APIs. Here you can find the release note of ZWCAD+ 2014, also a free license which is valid until Aug 31, 2013.

Add FreeCAD to your list to check it out.

For DWG and 2D not so great but it has potential in many other fields
