Most Popular Features for 2D Detailing of 3D Solid Designs

Increasingly, ZWCAD is being used in concert with 3D Solid products such as SolidWorks and PTC.  Users are finding that ZWCAD is far more affordable than AutoCAD and provides all the capabilities they need (and many innovations found nowhere else) for completing and delivering the 2D detailings of 3D models.

In this application, ZWCAD is used by design teams, engineering firms, fabricators, and manufacturers around the world.  They use ZWCAD to create 2D drawings/sections of mechanical parts and assemblies across a host of industries, including automotive, industrial equipment, electronics, marine, and consumer.

The top features these users find most productive:

1. High-performance: ZWCAD, with advanced memory optimization, handles file sizes of 100M or more with ease -- users can open and save in seconds. 
2. Associative Dimension: users can create dimensions which automatically adjust the measurement values, locations, and the orientations along with the geometric objects.
3. Power Dimension: special dialog boxes with selections and information for manufacturing.
4. Mechanical Wizards: designers quickly create section lines, direction symbols, and detail views; and generate shafts and gears directly from geometric parameters.
5. Mechanical Symbols and Parts: abundant mechanical symbols and part libraries.
6. E-transmit: collects all of the related drawings and support files and puts them into one package for review and delivery.
7. Two-way DWG 2013 compatibility: ZWCAD seamlessly integrates with Solidworks and PTC.
8. The closest AutoCAD experience  ZWCAD users can transition from AutoCAD and be productive in less than a day.
9. PTC Windchill Integration: users can perform all detailing -- within an organization or across a global enterprise -- in a managed, PLM-supported environment.
