DoubleCAD XT Pro by IMSI/Design - Innovative 2D CAD that works like AutoCAD LT, at half the price!
Want to get more powerful architectural drafting & detailing capability (as in fully associative, 2D views and hatched sections, even from xrefs)? Or more sophisticated features, tools, and file filters for mechanical design?

DoubleCAD™ XT Pro is the powerful upgrade to DoubleCAD ™ XT. It's an AutoCAD LT® work-alike. But better. For about half the price.

DoubleCAD™ XT Pro is a great companion to AutoCAD® and an excellent drafting complement to popular mechanical design package such as SolidWorks®, Pro/ENGINEER®, and Solid Edge®.

With so many new, innovative features, you'll think DoubleCAD™ XT Pro is the upgrade for AutoCAD® LT, too.
Includes everything in DoubleCAD™ XT... plus:
More powerful detailing (create associative, 2D views or hatched sections, even from xrefs; cross sections of cross sections; etc.)
Geometric & dimensional constraints (even AutoCAD® doesn't have this)
Range of intelligent, ADT compatible architectural objects,
Parametric Parts Manager
Bill Of Materials
Design Director
Style Manager
Nested Xrefs
Open & save .DWG, .DXF, and .DWF formats from AutoCAD® R14 (1997) to 2009. Also includes support for dozens of industry standard formats. (Note, any importable file type can be used as an xref.)
Superior workflow with Google™ SketchUp™
12-month free premium customer support (phone, email, forum)
... and more
If you are an AutoCAD LT® user, DoubleCAD™ XT Pro will immediately feel familiar. Familiar menu, menu items, tools, icons, command line, keystrokes... even a familiar intelligent cursor. But - maybe more importantly - you will feel welcomed improvements as well.

Advanced Drafting & Detailing

Effective drafting and detailing are the heart of CAD productivity. DoubleCAD™ XT Pro employs a large selection of line, arc, curve, and spline tools, so that no matter the situation you have got the right tool for the job. When used with DoubleCAD™ XT Pro snaps, modification tools, and drawing aids, you will be able to quickly draft and document your designs with outstanding flexibility.

Powerful tools such as custom brush styles, transparencies, and smart dimensions also greatly enhance detailing. No need to buy a separate hatch pattern creator, DoubleCAD™ XT Pro even comes with its own.
Most significantly, though, DoubleCAD™ XT Pro includes a powerful and innovative Drafting Palette that expedites the drafting-to-detailing process by creating fully associative, 2D views or hatched sections (even from xrefs).
Because they are associative, if the model is changed, or the section plane is updated, the 2D profiles are changed automatically to reflect those changes and all hatches and dimensions are updated accordingly. The time savings and increased accuracy of this alone can pay for XT Pro many times over.

Architectural Power
- Architectural users will like intelligent, attribute-rich self-healing walls (a considerable improvement over the AutoCAD LT®'s double-line tool) and the range of other parametric windows, doors, slabs, roof, rails, and stairs that are ADT compatible.
- Any block can be used as a custom architectural element that will automatically align to self-healing walls when inserted.
- Advanced handle-based editing of selected objects gives you instant access to sizing, scaling, moving, rotating, and positioning without selecting multiple tools.
- Brush styles, including hatch patterns, can be created using bitmaps, transparency, and full color. Hatch patterns can even be used in layered combination for a better expression of your design concept.
- Door and Window schedules are easy to create, as are Bills Of Material.
- With the Style Manager, users can customize or modify styles and parameters for architectural object types, schedules, text, and AEC dimensions.
- Using the Parametric Parts Manager, users can script and define parametrically driven objects which can accelerate all levels of design and detailing.
Mechanical Power, too
- What-if analysis is made easy with 2D geometric and dimensional constraints and is a tremendous time saver as you iterate designs. Apply relationships between two or more objects for accurate designs which can then be adjusted easily. Make a change to one object in a design, and constraints automatically update the drawing based on the user defined parameters.
- A host of special tools, like a Gear Contour, Surface Roughness, and Weld Symbol tool, add mechanical capabilities not found in AutoCAD LT®.
- And compatibility with .SAT, .IGS, and .STEP files means DoubleCAD™ XT Pro is an excellent drafting companion to any mechanical design package.
Unique and Compelling Tools
- DoubleCAD™ XT Pro also has productivity tools not found in AutoCAD LT® that can accelerate the drawing experience.
- Special line, arc, and circle tools automatically create tangent, parallel, and perpendicular entities without snaps, allowing the user to proceed without resetting their snap modes.
- Tools such as multiline, bezier curves, and fixed ratio ellipses extend the types of entities you can create, expediting drawing production.
- And modify tools, such as meet-two-lines and convert-to-curve, eliminate the use of cumbersome tools found in other CAD applications.
Compatible... Especially Workflow Compatible

DoubleCAD™ XT Pro is compatible with whatever you are using: We believe we have some of the best - and broadest - translators in the industry. .SAT, .3DS, .OBJ, .IGS... all the important ones are here, 28 in total. This includes .DWG, as you would expect. What you may not expect is a DoubleCAD™ .DWG file, containing ADT-compatible walls and self-aligning blocks, can be brought into AutoCAD® or AutoCAD LT® and designs retain their self-healing properties.

This intelligent behavior can save hours of adjustment and iteration within AutoCAD® products and is yet another reason why DoubleCAD™ XT Pro a great AutoCAD® companion. With all the time and effort you will save, DoubleCAD™ XT Pro is a no-brainer way to kick-start an AutoCAD® project.
Here is something else you may not expect: DoubleCAD™ XT Pro imports and edits corresponding architectural objects from AutoCAD® Architecture (ADT). Even AutoCAD® can't do that.
And another surprise: DoubleCAD™ XT Pro is not only compatible with Google™ SketchUp™... but actually enhances SketchUp™ workflow. For example, DoubleCAD™ XT:
- Imports all visible geometry, layers, and components
- Converts all SketchUp™ components to DoubleCAD™ blocks to optimize drawing performance
- Creates a paper space from each SketchUp™ scene, thereby saving time by automatically creating viewports with the correct layer visibility and 2D or perspective view properties. These paperspace views are also immediately ready for dimensioning and annotation
DoubleCAD™ lets you develop construction documents quickly from SketchUp™ models. AutoCAD® and AutoCAD LT® don't come close.

Ready To Move To 3D When You Are
Today 90% of CAD is 2D. At some point, though, most modeling will be done in 3D.
When that point comes, all of the architectural objects in DoubleCAD™ XT Pro - such as walls, doors, windows, roofs, slabs, stairs, and rails - are already 3D-ready, saving you an enormous amount of conversion time as compared to using AutoCAD LT®.

Based On Award-Winning CAD Code
DoubleCAD™ XT Pro is based on IMSI/Design's award-winning CAD code with over two million copies sold worldwide
A great companion to AutoCAD® in .DWG shops. The CAD of choice for Google™ SketchUp™ users. And an excellent drafting complement to popular mechanical design package such as SolidWorks®, Pro/ENGINEER®, or Solid Edge®.
