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.
