DesignCAD 3D MAX is an easy-to-use, versatile CAD tool that’s perfect for novice designers, but powerful enough to create high-quality 2D/3D designs, models and animations. The intuitive interface and extensive online help make it easy to design anything, from simple hobby projects to professional precision drawings. It’s everything you need to get started:
Precision 2D Drafting Tool
3D Solid Modeling Tools
Mechanical Design Tools
Architectural Design Tools
Realistic Rendering
Intuitive User Interface
Online Help
Easy to Learn & Use 2D/3D Design
Design 2D drawings fast and easy, then create complex 3D shapes simply by extruding (pulling) them from your 2D shapes
Powerful New Drawing Compare Technology
drill-press1.gif Drawing Compare is an invaluable aid when working collaboratively on a project, or when picking up an older project and looking to see the status of updates. Use it to compare a design and an ‘As Built’ drawing to see where changes have been implemented.
Beautiful Rendering
Apply a variety of materials, textures, colors, brush styles, and light effects to create stunning images. Customize material textures to further enhance the realism.
Animations & Walkthroughs
house Enjoy user-friendly tools for creating professional level animations and walkthroughs of your finished drawings.
Over 10,000 CAD Symbols
Save time with access to over 10,000 2D/3D symbols to quickly drag and drop into your design. Retrieve millions more mechanical and architectural symbols with a free, 3-Month subscription to CADsymbols.com®!
AutoCAD® DWG/DXF Compatible & More
Read and write AutoCAD® files through 2009 and enjoy excellent compatibility with AutoCAD® layouts and PaperSpace, plus support for AutoCAD® layers, linestyles, views, and blocks in both DXF and DWG file formats.
DesignCAD imports DWG, DXF, WMF, HPGL and XYZ files and exports to DWG, DXF, WMF, HPGL, RIB, VRML, WPG and PDF.
DesignCAD also supports several image formats including .BMP, .TIF, .JPG, .TGA, .WMF, .PSD, .AWD, .EPS, .WPG, .TIF, .PCX, and .PNG

Precision 3D Modeling
Access a full range of powerful 3D modeling primitives, including box, sphere, hemisphere, pyramid, cylinder, cone and torus. Utilize Boolean operations, including solid add, solid subtract, and slice, to shape your 3D parts. Add materials to your model to create presentation ready designs.
3D View Settings
3D Primitives
3D (Solid) Editing Operations
3D Visualization
Realistic Visualization and Lighting
Render your 3D models with applied materials or texture maps or use transparency and fogging for added impact.
Shadow Tool - smooth the edges of rendered shadows
Procedural Textures - add marble, wood, cement, grain, patch, perlin noise, brick, cells or wood extended textures to your designs.
Image Fills - Use an image as a fill pattern.
Symbols and 3D Images
Choose from more than 10,000 2D/3D symbols to quickly drag and drop into your design. Plus, get access to millions of additional mechanical and architectural symbols with a free 3-month subscription to CADSymbols.com!
Animation & Walkthroughs
Create stunning animated presentations with a moving view of your 3D model.
Added Flexibility when Sharing Your Work
User Notes – Add notes to any drawing
Save for Sharing - When you save a drawing, all files referenced externally (textures, symbols, images) are saved to a subfolder with the host drawing’s name.
vPaper Space Mode – Create a view frame and choose a specific scale or enter a custom view frame scale.
Print Scale Options - Select from a standard set of print scale options or create your own.
AutoCAD® DWG/DXF Compatible

New Features
Improved Layer Options
An option has been added to Layer Options to “Automatically toggle by-layer settings”. When this option is off, moving to a layer with a preset linestyle or color updates the current linestyle and/or color, but doesn’t automatically turn on the Linestyle by Layer or Color by Layer flags.
Improved Grouping
A group entity’s layer no longer affects the visibility of group contents.
Improved Trimming of a line against a circle, arc, or closed shape
Now when "Trim Picked Segments Only" is selected, the line will trim to the intersection closest to the point selected on the trimming shape rather than to the intersection closest to the original end of the line. If not selected, users can still trim against the closest segment of a polyline.
General Performance Enhancements include:
Improved Dimension Select
Improved PointXYZ key
Improved Paperspace fixed-width lines
Improved Intersect2 with Circles
Improved Circle Tangent to Two Lines
Improved Vertical Dimensions
Improved Bounding Box calculation
Improved Show/Hide Command Dialog box “Hide” command
Improved Enable Offscreen Bitmap option
Improved Move Origin
Improved interoperability with older versions of DesignCAD (17 and older) – Now saved dimensions are fully editable in the target version of DesignCAD
Arrowheads in Dim Progressive now correspond to user-selected arrowheads
Reverse Points in the Info Box is now enabled for MultiLine entities
Plus, some default settings have been change based on user input including Running Snaps OFF, Interruptible Snaps ON, Layer list shows all layers instead of named layers
