SmartSketch Works with Leading CAD Products

Unlike most low-end sketching and drawing products, SmartSketch supports major existing CAD environments such as AutoCAD and MicroStation. You have full import and export capabilities for traditional CAD data. In addition, you can work with .dgn and .dwg data in native formats—as if these formats were OLE-enabled.

Acting as wrappers around foreign data, OLE servers allow you to simply drag AutoCAD or MicroStation data into SmartSketch. You can even locate points in the CAD geometry and work directly off those points in your SmartSketch document.

This capability—giving you live access to legacy data—makes SmartSketch a powerful tool on your desktop.
