Standard CAD tool

CADKON+ BASIC is a CAD software fully compatible with DWG® format. It offers simple, ingenuous and economic solutions to frequent issues arising from creating and modifying drawings. CADKON+ BASIC creates all 2D and 3D elements (creating 3D elements requires a CADKON+ Premium license) in a modern, easy-to-use interface, it contains drawing navigation and visualization tools and it works with such concepts as "layers", "snap points", "windows", etc.

DWG and DXF format support

CADKON+ BASIC reads and writes .DWG files in their native format without any data loss, starting with AutoCAD ® 2018 format continuing all the way back to version 2.5, including AutoCAD LT® version.
