Features of IGiS CAD
Familiar CAD Interface & flawless compatibility. Meet your drafting & designing needs with IGiS CAD
What’s New?
IGiS CAD software is ever-evolving and includes industry-specific tools with latest features to facilitate flawless drafting and designing
LISP
Lisp is a programming language that allows you to automate the drawing generation, add new customized functionalities, and much more. Lisp is very powerful tool for non-programmer & advanced programmer.
Voice Notes
You can now record and attach voice notes to entities to playback at all times. It enables you to communicate the detailed design even in your local language without significantly increasing the file size.
Geo location in your Drawing
Adding a geographic location to a drawing allows you to draw entities that correspond to specific locations on a map, which is helpful when working with drawings that contain survey, civil, and architectural data.
Dimension Break
Make the drawings clutter-free from dimension, extension, and leader lines. Adding a break prevents them from looking like it’s a part of the drawn entity and adds clarity to the intersection of lines.
Create and Edit Sheet Sets
Sheet Set Manager pane allows users to view, organize, and publish sheet sets. A sheet set is a collection of sheets (layouts) in a drawing.
New Table Features
Insert a table into the drawings, select options from the dialog box displayed, and insert table styles by adding a number of rows and columns.
New Path Array Command
Create and arrange copies of an object in a particular path using a polyline, spline, helix, arc or curved line. By specifying the center point and copying it, draw an object at the starting point.
Array Edit with Enhanced GUI
Select and edit associative arrays you want to edit by modifying the array properties, edit the source entity, change the number of array items, and replace them with other entities.
Laywalk Command
Laywalk command allows you to view objects on a selected layer & hides objects on other layers. Users can easily filter the list of all layers displayed in the dialogue box while working with files with a huge number of layers.
On The Fly Spellcheck
The spell check compares wrong spelling found in the drawing with correctly spelled words in an installed dictionary (.dic file). The misspelled words are highlighted with red color for easy reading.
Entity Cloning
Entity cloning with added selected features helps in creating a new entity by specifying geometric values. Selected objects are replicated along with the layer, color, line type, transparency, and thickness.
Built-In Symbol Library
Built-in standard symbol library enables the user to insert the symbols in the drawing efficiently. You can also add new or customized symbols as per the requirements.
File Compatibility
IGiS CAD supports all industry standard and native formats for smooth migration without data loss
Native File Support
IGiS CAD provides native support for DWG/DXF and other legacy CAD file formats. It enables you to work with any version of DWG/DXF file formats.
Import / Export
Open, Save and Share files in various formats used by different CAD packages like DXF, DXB, DWF, DWT, DWFX, DGN, STL and many others.
External Reference
Optimize file size by linking a drawing to the current drawing as external reference. It attaches a pointer to the external file instead of inserting a drawing as a block.
Raster & PDF Support
Support for inserting and editing of more than 150 raster file formats. Additionally, you can also insert PDF files into your drawings.
Shape File Support
Users can import .shp,.sdf and .sqlite shapefiles using the dialogue box displayed. Shape files are used for storing geometric location & attribute information of geographical feature.
Printing & Plotting
You can print and plot your design in high resolution, impeccably with the IGiS CAD printing and plotting features
Smart Plotting
Configure your drawings in any layout for printing. You can plot on both large format plotters and small printers to produce hard copy output.
CTB & STB Plot Style
Print style helps you control what your drawing looks like when it is printed. It allows you to customize the colour, pen width, linetype and lineweight, used to print your drawing.
Publish
Save and print a collection of drawings and their layouts, instead of one drawing at a time, using the Publish command.
eTransmit
Move multiple drawings and related files by either creating a package using eTransmit command (multiple drawings) or sending it by email (single file).
Enhanced import .pdf file functionality
Open after you select a .pdf file to import when using the PDF In command and allows you to specify various options for importing .pdf content into the drawing.
IGiS CAD Essential
Familiar interface with a rich set of tools for 2D drafting and designing at an affordable price
Layer Management
Hatch
Array
Dimensioning
Attach Digital Signature
Have more control and convenience over your drawing by creating multiple layers and managing them. These layers can be edited, viewed, locked and hidden.
Fill the enclosed area with lines, patterns, solids or gradients. Select from predefined patterns from a custom hatch library or customize as per your requirement.
Expedite the designing process by using different array commands to copy objects in a repeatable pattern.
Add measurements to the drawing using dimensioning tools along with controlling dimensioning styles and adding tolerance symbol.
Connect the feature of drawing to multiline text or a block using a line segment or a spline. It provides access to different types of labels and callouts.
Determine the height or overall size of annotative entities without changing the scale of other non-annotative entities. Allows you to view and plot annotations regardless of viewport zoom scale.
You can highlight or mark an entity that requires further attention using revision clouds. It helps you for efficient review of drawings.
Allows you to extract data from objects in your drawings. It streamlines the process of counting by linking the extracted data directly to the external files.
Hatch pattern contain repetitive lines, dashes or dot patterns. You can select from predefined patterns or customize or choose from a custom hatch library. A gradient pattern contains of a gradual/smooth change of colour to select from.
The maximum allowed variations in the geometry defined by a drawing are indicated by Geometric tolerances. IGiS CAD facilitate applying the geometric tolerance on the drawing.
Attaching a digital signature to the drawing allows to sign and authenticate it. Open a dialog box that displays information on digital certificates available on your computer to insert the signature.
Export the current layout to model space into a new drawing. From the dialog box, select the specific file name you want to export. Right click the tab and select export layout to drawing model and save it.
Multileader
Annotative Scale
Revision Clouds
Data Extraction
Export the Layout
Customization
Helps the user to expedite the drafting and modelling by creating custom work environment
Tool Palettes
Each tool palette, commands and blocks can be organized for easy access while working in drawings.
Command Bar
Enter the commands or its abbreviations in a dockable window for faster execution for legacy users.
Workspace
A convenient way to customize the display of commands in the IGiS CAD main window. Each workspace stores your personalized settings.
SDK
Developers can take advantage of this feature to create their own versions of the software. The open architecture allows you to use, customize and extend IGiS CAD.
IGiS CAD Advanced
Fully featured ACIS modeler, AEC Entities, Photo-realistic rendering with 3D orbit view for 3D modelling and visualization
Solid, Surface & Mesh Modelling
Visual Style
3D Orbit View
Create solid, surface and mesh objects in IGiS CAD using the powerful 3D modeling tools with fully featured ACIS modeler.
You can view your drawing in various modes using Visual styles. Like, using a wireframe mode to view your drawing for more clarity.
You can draw rectangular, triangular, or quadrilateral areas filled with a solid color using a Plane tool.
Shading is useful when you want to visualize your drawing as a solid entity. It removes hidden lines behind entities and assign flat colours to visible surfaces and make them appear solid.
A set of 3D points that represents the surface of an entity, which is created by 3D scanners. You can attach .pcg, .rcp, or .rcs files.
You can create realistic visualization of models using rendering features like attaching material, lights, surfaces and more.
It provides a library of standard 3D Entities those are specific to certain industries like Architecture, Engineering and Construction.

You can orbit the drawing, rotate the view in real-time. You can view your model from any angle in model space but not in paper space.
