Built-in architectural CAD tools for DWG workflows
AViCAD includes built-in AEC tools for architectural drafting, layout, and building design — all inside a familiar DWG-based CAD environment.
There’s nothing extra to install.
The tools are ready to use immediately and work alongside the commands and workflows you already know.
What changed — Easy Arch to AEC
Earlier versions of AViCAD included Easy Arch.
This has now been replaced with a more complete AEC toolset designed for better control, cleaner workflows, and improved 2D and 3D capabilities.
Designed for how you already work
AViCAD AEC tools are built around real CAD workflows — not a separate system you have to learn.
• Use familiar commands
• Work directly in DWG
• Combine AEC objects with standard CAD entities
• Keep full control of your drawings
You can use AEC tools where they help — and still rely on lines, polylines, and blocks when needed.
Core AEC capabilities
AViCAD provides practical architectural tools without adding unnecessary complexity.
• 2D and 3D architectural drafting
• Walls, doors, windows, and curtain walls
• Stairs and railings
• Parametric architectural objects
• Style-based control
Everything remains lightweight, editable, and DWG-native.
3D tools without BIM complexity
AViCAD includes 3D architectural tools for real-world use — without forcing a full BIM workflow.
• Create building elements in 3D
• Keep clean 2D drawings
• Make fast changes without rebuilding models
This keeps your workflow fast and practical.
AEC styles manager
Control how architectural objects look and behave across your drawings.
• Standardize object styles
• Reuse settings across projects
• Keep drawings consistent
You control the standards — not the software.
Works with AutoCAD AEC workflows
AViCAD works directly with DWG files, including those that contain AEC objects.
• Open and edit without conversion
• Share files with AutoCAD users
• Maintain drawing structure
No rework, no translation issues.
No add-ons required
AEC tools are fully integrated into AViCAD.
• No extra installs
• No separate licensing
• No switching between programs
Everything runs in one environment.
Work your way
Choose the interface and workflow that fits you.
• Classic menus and toolbars
• Ribbon interface
• Command-driven workflow
If you’re used to AutoCAD-style drafting, this will feel familiar right away.
Where AEC fits
AEC tools are part of a complete DWG workflow.
• Start with standard drafting
• Add architectural elements where needed
• Combine with Mech-Q or other tools
• Produce clean, usable drawings
