ZWCAD 2017

ZWCAD 2017 Is a new version of the software family ZWCAD, which today trusts many users around the world. Keeping all the best from previous versions, ZWCAD 2017 Became even faster, more functional and more reliable in comparison with its predecessors. Software ZWCAD 2017 Is intended for architects, designers, engineers and other professionals using CAD / CAM automated design.

Advantages of ZWCAD 2017:

• Low cost of ownership. Excellent performance of the application is achieved even on non-high-end computers. A permanent license is of low cost, which, combined with low hardware requirements, provides long-term savings in operation ZWCAD 2017
• 100% compatible with DWG format. Numerous tests have confirmed the excellent compatibility of the new software product with other popular CAD systems at the DWG format.
• High performance. The tests carried out showed that ZWCAD 2017 , On average, opens the drawings 40.18% faster, and the speed of operations increased by 24.19%; This means that with the previously planned eight-hour computer time, a similar work in ZWCAD 2017 is performed in six hours. Thanks to the use of hybrid technology, flickering of the image while working in the ZWCAD 2017 is significantly reduced, which makes the use of the program comfortable throughout the whole working day.
• Support 64bit. Support for 64-bit operating systems (Windows, Linux and Mac OS) is one of the main factors for the successful operation of the software, especially given that the number of users of design software with such systems is continuously growing. Thanks to the full support of 64-bit systems, the ZWCAD 2017 opens large project files and works much more reliably with such files.
