| A great CAD program has easy to
use toolbars with a large selection of flexible drawing tools that work well together.
Multiple Views
let you view and edit your drawing in many ways. Side views show you the
elevations and allow simple line drawing.
Object Editors
let you
easily change object properties without redrawing. Change one geometry
property and the others are automatically updated. For example you can enter
the length of a line and the end point coordinates are updated while
maintaining the original angle of the line.
Drawing Manager
contains a
Tree View of the objects in the drawing allowing you to select and edit
embedded child objects within parent figure groups. You can also drag and
drop objects from the tree into the drawing. Our unique toolbars make it easy to select from
Cadrail's many tools. There is no complex series of nested menu items to
negotiate each time you want to draw.

Unlimited user defined layers and styles allow you total control. The Properties toolbar makes it easy to select
from the styles have defined. To change a drawing property, just double click
the toolbar and you get a one stop dialog box with all the options.
Cadrail lets you nest and combine tools to create complex
drawings.
Zooming in and out is simple with the buttons you need most readily available at all
times.
Zooms and scrolls can be nested while you draw. Then you can zoom in to pick the end of
that switch and zoom out to create a large arc over to some distant area of the drawing. |

Trace Bitmap Images by opening a
bitmap (.jpg, .gif, .bmp) in the Cadrail drawing window and tracing using
the CAD objects. You can then resize the tracing to a known distance in the
image. Export Bitmaps You can
save the Cadrail drawing screen image to a bitmap file (.jpg, .gif, .bmp) or
to the Windows clipboard. You can also specify the size of the image.
Import/ Export DXF vector
drawing files that can be read by other CAD programs.
