Customize ZWCAD with Third-part Applications

Q: I have seen some useful applications which can be used by AutoCAD. I am wondering if they can be used with ZWCAD.

A: It depends on how they were written for AutoCAD. In some cases, they might work quite well with ZWCAD. See if you are able to obtain a demo version of the software from the developer, and then try running it on ZWCAD.

Generally speaking, ZWSOFT does not develop its own third-part application for industry. Instead, ZWSOFT develops ZWCAD as a CAD platform, and so ZWCAD provides a good set of APIs for our third-part developers, such as VBA, Lisp, and ZRX. We welcome developers all around the world to adapt their applications to ZWCAD. We provide instant technical support to help developers migrate their applications to ZWCAD.

We are not, however, able to decide or choose which programs will be added to ZWCAD; this decision is up to third-part developers. ZWSOFT will keep improving its APIs to attract more developers to ZWCAD. To learn more about our APIs, please download a 30-day demo copy of ZWCAD. After installing it, open the Developer Help documents.
