Flexible, Context-Aware Drafting Tools adapt to users' needs, offering custom features and shortcuts that enhance efficiency and user satisfaction in every drafting session.

ACIS®-Based Solid Modeling

ACIS is a powerful 3D modeling engine used by many CAD programs to create accurate solid objects. In xCAD v1 Professional, this engine allows designers to build realistic 3D models where every object has:

  1. Real Volume: Objects are not just hollow surfaces—they behave like real solid materials.

  2. A Structured Framework: The internal mathematical structure defines the shape and geometry.

  3. Surface Skin: Precise surfaces wrap around the structure to form the visible outer shape.

  4. Inner Core (Solid Body): The model contains actual mass information, enabling operations like cutting, drilling, or measuring.

Geometric & Dimensional Constraints



Apply intelligent Smart Dimension tools—parallel, orthogonal, rotated, and Auto Dimension—to precisely define line lengths and angles. Display accurate measurements in both Imperial and metric units for seamless design documentation.

Intelligent (Parametric) Architectural Objects


Create and configure smart architectural objects by simply selecting them and adjusting their parameters. Instantly update dimensions and specifications while maintaining design flexibility and precision.

Advanced Mechanical Design Tools


xCAD® v1 Professional offers a comprehensive 3D design suite, combining precision drafting, surface modeling, and advanced ACIS® solid modeling in one powerful platform. Its Mechanical Toolset provides essential features like Thread, Twisted Extrude, Extrude to Face, and Parametric Holes, alongside robust modification tools such as Bend, Unbend, Law-Based Operations, and Smooth Surface Mesh/Sub-D modeling—giving you complete control over both engineered and organic forms.

Programmable SDK & Scripting


xCAD® v1 Professional expands your design capabilities with scripting and a full SDK. Ruby—compatible with SketchUp Ruby Scripts—enables you to create plug-ins, automate multi-step workflows, and enhance both mechanical and architectural designs directly through the Ruby Scripting Console. Meanwhile, the SDK empowers the development of custom functions and specialized tools, complete with detailed documentation, sample projects, and .NET support for both commercial and custom applications.
