Computer-aided design (CAD) and computer aided drafting is the system and process by which engineers, architects and designers utilize technology to deliver their designs and design documentation.

The development of applications and tools for the leading CAD systems namely AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT and BricsCAD Pro & Platinum is made possible through programming environments such as ObjectARX and Visual LISP. Our add-ons and plugins utilize this technology, delivering award winning solutions to our customers across industries varying from architecture and automotive design, to mechanical engineering and landscape design.

GlobalCAD develops and distributes a comprehensive range of AutoCAD tools and BricsCAD Pro & Platinum add-ons, with compatibility and support for the following CAD platforms.

• AutoCAD
• AutoCAD Architecture
• AutoCAD Civil 3D
• AutoCAD Electrical
• AutoCAD Map 3D

The introduction and continual development of CAD packages such as AutoCAD, BricsCAD and their predecessors has helped streamline the design and drafting process. Design team productivity, performance and enhanced drawing accuracy are all key indicators of a successful CAD implementation.

One industry in particular now reaping the benefits of CAD technology is that of landscape design, land planning and irrigation. CAD packages such as AutoCAD and BricsCAD provide the basic drawing tools needed to produce landscaping plans, elevations and 3D models. However, it is necessary to employ the specialist tools available in add-ons such as GlobalCAD Landscape to attain a competitive advantage. GlobalCAD Landscape provides a range of industry-specific design content and tools for 2D and 3D landscape design, 3D visualization, surface and terrain modeling, planting plans, scheduling and cost estimating.
