About CAD6studio
CAD6studio is the professional 2D/3D CAD program of the CAD6 series with all functions for planning, construction, and visualization. Apart from a 2D drawing area, the program provides 3D spaces to create and edit 3D components.
Supported file formats: MKD, DWG, DXF, HP-GL/2, SHP, SVG, STL, WMF, EMF, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, GIF, BMP, TVG, T2G, T3G, T4G, VEK, BLD
Contains SMART2D Technology plus many highly effective functions for the comfortable creation of drawing objects, working with curves and surfaces, as well as automatic trimming commands, equidistants, clippings, mappings, multiple lines, archiving of drawings, automatic saving, parts lists creation, etc.
Use DirectPDF to create professional, ultra-high-resolution PDF files with Unicode texts, layers, transparencies, hyperlinks, and RGB/CMYK/CIElab colors. On demand, you can directly create PDF/A-1b and PDF/A-2b files.
All programs of the CAD6 series are 100% data-compatible.

The following output modes are available, and it also supports drawing comparison between folders.
(1) Folder monitoring output mode
Monitors a specified folder, and if there is no input file, waits until the file arrives, and when the input file arrives, it outputs it. After output, the input file is automatically deleted.
(2) Batch file output mode
All the function usage can be carried out free for 30 days from installation for trial.

CAD6starter
CAD6starter is the free entry to the CAD6 series and contains basic drawing and labeling functions. It can open, edit, save, and print all drawings created by any CAD6 edition.
Use CAD6starter to create elaborate technical drawings with the highest accuracy and all important structural elements such as layers, pens, pages, groups, and blocks. For simple scaled drawing, you can work in the model space at a scale of 1:1 and then generate different scales using mappings. A drawing can contain multiple pages. Hatchings and dimensions automatically adapt to changes in the drawing.
CAD6starter may be used free of charge and unconditionally for private use, educational purposes, as well as commercial use.
All programs of the CAD6 series are 100% data-compatible.
