  • "No touch" formwork design.  formC@D dramatically simplifies design of your projects.  With formC@D, you can design the entire project as easy as 1-2-3 : just draw the walls, locate the construction projects.  No need to run other CAD packages to modify your lines, text or any other entities, and Materials List are stored in the same file within the drawing.
  • Dynamic save.  formC@D now saves each step you take without any efforts via its patented technology.  With classic CAD file , the user would have to set the auto save option on the project or save each time.  With formC@D, it will automatically detect the change and save a new file.
