CADopia – An Introduction

CADopia is a smart tool for those who need

a full-featured Computer-Aided-Design

(CAD) software without the high cost.

Designed for engineers, architects,

designers and drafters, CADopia is a No

compromise solution.

CADopia has all the useful features of the

industry standard CAD software and it

creates DWG™ format files natively. These

files can be shared between users of other

software that create DWG format drawings

without translation or conversion.

Now, enterprises can put CAD software on

every desktop and laptop using CADopia’s

network licensing and terminal server

deployment tools without impacting either

their IT budget or the productivity of their

employees.

You can learn to use CADopia in one

afternoon if you are already familiar with

AutoCAD. You can be productive almost

immediately without requiring any

retraining.

CADopia has been designed with these

objectives in mind, so there is no switching

cost in terms of lost productivity or

retraining, freeing you from the endless

cycles of subscription upgrades. CADopia

licenses are perpetual licenses.
