Professional Power
DoubleCAD™ XT PRO is a 2.5D CAD
application with advanced features for outstanding drafting and
detailing capability. DoubleCAD XT Pro understands and can import 3D
files such as SketchUp, Rhino, and .DWG files to create 2D planar
construction views to complete your working drawing documentation. It
also includes powerful design tools for architectural and mechanical
use.
Familiar Environment
DoubleCAD XT Pro is designed to minimize
switching costs, and protect your intellectual property in existing
drawings. You will be up to speed quickly, immediately benefitting from
advances in productivity that will provide a quick return on investment
(ROI).
Excellent .dwg support coupled with the ability to read and write nearly
30 file formats, means you will be able to protect and continue to
profit from your existing drawings. Unlike IntelliCAD products,
DoubleCAD XT Pro is not trying to be an AutoCAD® clone; rather it is
designed as an AutoCAD LT® work-alike by providing a user interface
similar to the AutoCAD classic interface. The menus, tools, command
line, and other user interface elements will be familiar so that you may
quickly move on to exploring our innovative advancements.
With the launch of v3 (see
what's new in v3) it should be even more comfortable as many changes
have been made to ensure the ESC key, Space Bar, and Enter key behave
more consistently. This is so that the muscle memory of AutoCAD users,
the reflexive commands so to speak, are consistent right from the start.
Affordable Innovations Enhance
Productivity
We've listened to professional designers
and drafters, so DoubleCAD XT Pro goes beyond AutoCAD LT to provide more
advanced drafting and detailing capabilities at an attractive and
affordable price. DoubleCAD XT Pro is for anyone who performs drafting
and detailing regularly who is dissatisfied with the cost, lack of
innovation, and stagnation of leading 2D CAD applications.
DoubleCAD XT Pro also excels at parametric design with features such as
parametric constraints,
scripted parametric parts,
architectural tools, and
parametric AEC objects.
And now with v3 there is support for customization through Ruby
scripting in addition to the
Software Developers’ Kit (SDK) . The Pro version allows for all
sorts of routines, features, or full-fledged vertical applications to be
developed and added right to the user interface.
Whether you are starting a project with 2D design, or documenting a 3D
model created in another application, DoubleCAD XT Pro streamlines
workflows as a companion to many third-party applications.

We are pleased to announce DoubleCAD™ v3
is now shipping! Take advantage of the new powerful features that help
increase productivity in a familiar user interface that makes it easy to
use.
Based on top customer requests and our goal to be the best 2.5D CAD
application available, we are excited about the following three major
areas of effort that went into DoubleCAD XT Pro v3:
- Performance
- Interoperability
- Customization
Performance up to 60x faster
Enjoy hyper-accelerated graphic
performance*. Increase zoom and pan navigation up to 60x faster. Smooth
2D graphics performance is especially noticeable with larger drawing
files. With GPU acceleration technology, there’s no waiting, no
hesitation, no loss of concentration, imagine that.
*Supported graphics accelerators include:
NVIDIA® Quadro FX 1000 & up
NVIDIA® Quadro NVS series
NVIDIA® GeForce FX
NVIDIA® GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9
NVIDIA® GTX series
AMD-ATI Radeon 9500 & up
AMD-ATI Radeon X, HD 2000 & up
AMD-ATI FireGL X
AMD-ATI FireGL V 3000 & up
AMD-ATI FirePro series
INTEL® Integrated graphics series: GMA 3000, GMA X3000, GMA 4000
(GMA = Graphics Media Accelerator)
Redsdk runs in CPU mode with all
rendering features available when no graphics accelerator is available.
Interoperability
Do you need to share and receive CAD
files with others? DoubleCAD XT Pro v3 has extensive interoperability
that supports the latest industry file formats including AutoCAD .DWG
2010/2011, SketchUp v8 .SKP, Rhino .3DM, DoubleCAD .2CD, and more. Enjoy
unmatched interoperability with many industry standard design
applications. Free yourself to use the best tools to get your job done
regardless of attempted monopolies or pigeon-holed design solutions. Let
DoubleCAD XT Pro be the tool of choice for your project workflow and
break free at last.
DoubleCAD XT Pro is a full featured CAD application that can be used
stand-alone, as a replacement, or as a companion seat to AutoCAD based
products. DoubleCAD XT Pro plays well with other top AEC applications
for a seamless and integrated workflow that is affordable enough for all
to use.
Customization
When doing some heavy CAD drafting and
detailing, we realize that many tasks can be repetitive or tedious.
DoubleCAD XT Pro provides the ability to create customized scripts and
commands to help automate tasks and functions so you can work more
efficiently.
New to DoubleCAD XT Pro v3 is the support for customization through
Ruby Scripting. Those of you familiar with using Ruby Scripts in
Google SketchUp should have no problem creating Ruby Scripts in
DoubleCAD XT Pro since many of its functions are based on SketchUp Ruby
Scripting. Ruby scripts are a modern alternative to lisp and much easier
to use. Ruby Scripts can simplify multi-step operations, create new
customized tools, and streamline the way you work in DoubleCAD XT Pro.
In addition to Ruby support, the
Software Developers’ Kit (SDK) is available for the creation of
tools, routines, and even large commercial applications. The Pro version
allows for all sorts of routines, features, or full-fledged vertical
applications to be developed and added right to the user interface.
