INTUITIVE, CUSTOMISABLE & USER-FRIENDLY
AllyCAD is intuitive to use and is rated as one of the
most user-friendly packages on the market. As a core
focus, we strive to give you essential functionality
combined with operational simplicity to increase your
productivity. You can also graphically customize all
menus and toolbars to your liking.
AllyCAD places all the draughting functionality that you
need at your fingertips, allowing you to design the way
you want to! Our included toolkits further enable you to
complete many time consuming tasks in just a few
seconds. In short, we have designed the program to work
the way you do, intuitively and naturally.
SUPERIOR CAD TECHNIQUE
Most CAD systems in the industry do not take into
account that the art of technical drawing and
illustration relies heavily on finalizing the details of
the item that you are designing while you are working on
it. It is very rare that you know all the details and
dimensions of the object or component when you start.
With AllyCAD’s construction lines, the layout and the
details resolve themselves in your mind and on the
screen as you go along. This allows you to focus on the
design and not on using the software.
While many CAD systems places a vast arsenal of snaps
and cursor moves at your disposal, they usually force
you to draw the way the programmers draw and not the way
you would draw naturally. This is the reason why we
include geometry lines in AllyCAD.
Geometry lines are a superset of construction lines.
They allow you to define the layout, position lines and
arcs tangential to each other and defines the basic
layout of the drawing elements. You can thereafter
simply fill in with solid lines to create the objects.
EXCEPTIONAL PRODUCTIVITY - FASTEST WINDOWS CAD AVAILABLE
AllyCAD is one of the fastest Windows CAD packages
available. It outperforms (10-20x) the speed of the
competition, on redraws, snaps, and loading of drawings.
Most importantly, there are no regens!
We have spent hundreds of hours analyzing computer aided
design and draughting methods, and have developed an
optimised command system that places the most common
operations within one keystroke or button click. In
addition, the Control Bar dramatically cuts the number
of user responses for much faster editing and drawing so
that you can complete complex tasks quickly and easily.
WORK, CUT AND PASTE BETWEEN MULTIPLE DRAWINGS
With AllyCAD you can open multiple drawings at once and
use the Windows clipboard to cut and paste between the
drawings. You can also add drawings to other documents
by simply copying the portion of the drawing you would
like and pasting it into the document.
DATA COMPATIBILITY
When it comes to compatibility, AllyCAD fully supports
the reading and writing of AutoCAD's DWG format, DXF,
Caddie CEX, Arcview SHP and ASCII files. This gives you
the flexibility to move between drawings without having
to worry about incompatibilities and data exchange
problems.
In addition to this, AllyCAD handles JPG, TIFF and BMP
files and also supports TFW, LOG and HGR geo-referenced
bitmaps.
