progeCAD, the State of the Art of 2D/3D DWG and DXF CAD, is an easy replacement for AutoCAD® and AutoCAD LT®!
Unrivaled DWG File Format Compatibility
progeCAD’s native file format is .DWG
When you open an existing DWG file there’s no file conversion and no data loss. We provide industry standard compatibility with an AutoCAD command set, that means you can get to work immediately using the DWG files, commands, fonts, blocks and Linetypes.
Affordability
A fraction of the AutoCAD price!
For the first time ever, you can buy a heavy-duty CAD program that’s compatible with the .DWG file format and industry standard applications at mass-market pricing. Other feature-rich, low-cost CAD programs have tried to create their own standard as opposed to leveraging the existing .DWG standard. progeCAD’s low price makes it affordable to anyone who creates and uses .DWG files.
