CADplot

From the creators of Columbus, the world's favourite document management tool, comes the most cost effective and fully featured AutoCAD plotting tool yet.

Allows all staff to create reliable plots and PDF's of AutoCAD drawings.

CADplot is not only the most fully featured product of its kind, it is also cheaper than competing products. Check out the comparison table.

CADplot comprises a "server" component, CADplot Server, which makes any AutoCAD licence on your network behave as a plotting service to all other users, and a "client" component, CADplot, that extends Windows Explorer.

CADplot does not stop there, as it's able to record your plots to a database, recording over 100 properties including project details, user, workstation, plotter, paper size etc.

"I rate CADplot very highly. Through its no-nonsense approach and in-house experience as a working design office, Oasys has developed a highly-effective tool to bring DWG's, PDF's and DWF's into the hands of the engineers and architects with a minimal amount of fuss and cost."

Greg Corke, AEC Magazine, May/June 2004
