CAD4U Software


 

CAD4U for Windows® offers a host of  features to take advantage of  the Windows  operating system, giving users total desktop integration of drawings into all your favourite Windows applications. CAD4U has long been recognised as one of the most intuitive and functional Computer Aided Design products available, so if you are thinking of upgrading from RoboCAD®, original CAD4U for DOS, or looking for new CAD software with superior performance, then CAD4U for Windows is the answer.

  • Intuitive and easy to learn

  • Fast 'context sensitive' GUI - less searching for functionality

  • Unique graphical drawing Library for fast access, inserting and positioning of components, modules & symbols.

  • Easy to re-use drawings in other applications e.g. WP, DTP

  • Powerful and ergonomic
