Why Choose AllyCAD
 INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH AND USER-FRIENDLY
From now on, the most exciting part of a project is not the end – but the beginning. Make AllyCAD your first choice for all your draughting needs. Its intuitive interface has earned it the reputation as one of the most user-friendly packages on the market. AllyCAD places all the draughting functionality that you need at your fingertips, allowing you to design the way you want to. Its industrial strength and specialized toolkits ensure that previously time consuming tasks now take only seconds to complete.
EXPERIENCE THE POWER OF 3D
AllyCAD 2010 has been rewritten to allow for both 2D and 3D draughting and is even faster and more robust than AllyCAD 3.6. If you want to take your product design to the next level and are thinking of switching to 3D, you will be happy to know that AllyCAD offers perspective viewports, 3D views and rendering.
COMPATIBLE WITH LATEST DWG/DXF AND OTHER FORMATS
Knowledge Base is a founder member of the Open Design Alliance and, as such, our inside knowledge of the DWG drawing structure ensures high compatibility when loading and saving DWG and DXF drawing formats, including Paper Spaces. In addition we also support loading of Caddie CEX, Arcview SHP, Microstation DGN and Ultimate Cad UCX files. This gives you unprecedented flexibility to move between drawings without having to worry about incompatibilities and data exchange problems. AllyCAD 2010 also handles very large image files (typically JPG, TIFF and BMP files) with ease and also supports most geo-referenced bitmaps as well as ER Mapper ECW and Lizardtech SID images.
FEATURE RICH AND EMBEDDED SPECIALISED TOOLKITS
AllyCAD comes complete with a control centre that allows easy access to symbols, hatching, text, dimensions and line styles. We additionally have developed specialised functionality in a toolkit that allows you to complete many time consuming tasks in a matter of seconds. The toolkit consists of General, Architectural, Survey, Survey Diagram, Mechanical and Structural functions which are all included to give you the edge over your competitors.
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.
