DesignCAD

DesignCAD includes DesignCAD (2D CAD software) and DesignCAD 3D MAX (Both 2D and 3D CAD software).  We offer free assistance troubleshooting unexpected software errors or behavior to owners of version 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2016.

DesignCAD 2022 Release Notes

Why aren’t older versions supported?  The system requirements for older software are out of date, so the working environment cannot be duplicated by our technical support team.  In most cases, issues are resolved by upgrading, and you are strongly encouraged to do so.  To request an upgrade quote, send an email to sales@imsidesign.com

For version 21, use Windows Explorer to browse to the folder where DesignCAD is installed, and look for dcad21.pdf.
