Menu: Add-On


The Add-on menu contains advanced features exclusive of the progeCAD software (that you only find in the progeCAD software).


  • iCADLib - Blocks Manager: Blocks Manager. Thanks to a completely renewed interface and improved performance of the famous ALE Block Manager, it will become your perfect everyday companion for blocks management. More than 20.000 2D/3D blocks (Construction, Architectural, ANSI-ISO and DIN-ISO Mechanics, ANSI and IEC Electrical, Electronic, Steel Profiles, Furniture, Kitchen).
  • ESRI Shape: ESRI Shape importer. Allows to access to existing spatial and attribute data in ESRI shape files (.shp), where are stored attributes (data) and geometry.
  • Perspective Image Correction. This tools allows to modify the images with perspective distortion (all the related documentation is available in the "? > User Manual" in the related dialog).
  • Raster to vector: Convert image to DWG. WinTopo is a high quality tool for converting raster images to vector data.
  • Convert PDF to DWG: One click conversion. progeCAD converts vector PDF engineering drawings into the DWG/DXF format as editable objects. It accurately reproduces lines, shapes and text strings. Save time easily moving projects, details, parts from existing vectorial PDFs like catalogs, manuals, existing projects, scanned images and use as native CAD models. Compatible with Layered PDF, preserves the same Layers schema existing in the PDF.
  • Publishing 3D Models to Google Earth: Show your projects on Google Earth. progeCAD add-on application for Google Earth is useful in viewing your CAD models in the Google Earth environment, rich in maps and satellite images. Publish your CAD model in Google Earth exporting a .kmz file.
  • Exporting 3D Models to 3D PDF file: Convert a 3D CAD model, in-to a 3D PDF file. By using this function you can generate, for example, an interactive electronic brochure, in which your 3D model will be explorable without any cad knowledge!
  • progeCAD Converter. Allows to change the file format of one or more existing file without open these , into one of available file formats.
  • Triangulate. Trought this function it's possible to creates TIN from set of unordered points (TIN = triangulated irregular network).
  • AutoSEZ: With AutoSEZ PlugIn for progeCAD, it is possible to automatically extract Sections/Profiles of the ground from different types of 3D models and to draw their relative quoted cartouche.
  • Slope Lines: These functions allow to convert to a Slope Lines existing Polylines, Splines and areas between level curves.
