Christmas CAD utilities given out by CAD Studio

Merry Christmas This year for the tenth time - during Christmas, CAD Studio traditionally gives out a couple of free useful CAD tools for all CAD users. As a part of this tradition, this year's Christmas-tree utilities by CAD Studio are:

  • MineSweeper3D - well, maybe not a Christmas-theme game but still a popular game - MineSweeper - can be now played inside the Autodesk Inventor environment.
  • TURBO - try yourself how fast can your AutoCAD work when you switch all its performance-influencing variables to the "turbo" mode
  • 2DPLOT - use AutoCAD to draw any parametric curve defined by a function XY=f(t) - e.g. hypotrochoid, catenary, guilloche
  • 3DPLOT - create mathematical 3D surfaces defined by a parametric function XYZ=f(u,v); you can then make the resulting interesting 3D model with the help of the cloud applications Autodesk 123D (and give it e.g. as your personal present...)
  • LOMAN (LayOut Manager) - with this tool you can easily manage your DWG layouts and sort them alphabetically or numerically
  • SphereProj - project any 2D curve or text in AutoCAD to a 3D sphere
  • Parabola - create a true, not approximated parabollic curve in AutoCAD
  • Copy2Lay - helps to copy the requested geometry (e.g. a legend) to all layouts at once
  • Normals - this utility displays face normals and helps to reveal wrong back-faces in your 3D mesh models
  • Inventor Tools LT - free limited version of Inventor Tools with a number of automatic iProperties for design productivity in Inventor
  • Useful functions (running without payment) are offered also in our new shareware applications:
    • CivilTools - set of productivity tools for users of AutoCAD Civil 3D
    • DWGoSign - automatically logs inside a DWG drawing who and when changed each entity and the whole drawing
    • SureSave - helps to avoid data loss in your drawings - you always have an automatic backup copy of your work

And as usual - all these CAD utilities (and many other) can be found for download on our Download page - or may still try to write a letter to Santa CAD Studio.
