Create 3D modeling, 2D drafting, and associate dimensioning.
BS Editor: VariCAD is a 3D/2D CAD system for mechanical engineering. In addition to standard tools for 3D modeling and 2D drafting, the CAD system provides tools for shells, pipelines, sheet metal unbending and crash tests, Assembly support, libraries of standard mechanical parts (ANSI, DIN) and symbols, mechanical part calculations and tools for working with bills of materials (BOM) and title blocks. VariCAD supports STEP, STL, IGES, DWG and DXF file formats.

The comprehensive CAD software enables designers to quickly Create, evaluate, and modify their models. It is Compact, fast, easy to use, and provides everything one needs for mechanical design. The CAD system is sold fully loaded, including all features and functions, for one affordable price.

Version 2010 1.0 introduces:

improved user-interface (such as new options for invoking commands, improved zoom, etc.)
improved solid transformation, such as incremental 3D dragging and dynamic rotation (values displayed in the status bar), etc.
additional options for editing solids (e.g. for editing 2D profiles of
extruded 3D solids, FASTER selection of solid elements and Boolean tree branches using Ctrl key + selection mouse button, etc.)
improved STEP file compatibility (import)
changes in 2D, such as an optionally displayed sheet Border, etc.
new improvements in parameters and geometric constraints
