BabaCAD 2019 Enterprise 3D
(available starting June-23-2019)
First BabaCAD with 3D
After 7 years since the first BabaCAD was released in June 12th 2012, now this is the first 3D version of BabaCAD. 3D solid modeling commands for making and editing 3D solid objects are available only in Enterprise edition currently. BabaCAD Home edition is still available, where latest version is BabaCAD 2018. It comes with all professional 2D drafing capabilities and support of DWG format up to R2018. With all these features, BabaCAD Enterprise and Home editions can satisfy all professional CAD user's needs.
3D Solid Modeling
BabaCAD 2019 Enterprise 3D edition comes with new 3D Modeling menu section. This section has basic commands to create and modify 3D Solid objects, like Extrude, Chamfer, Holes etc. This is the first version with 3D modeling capabilities, released as beta (4.0.0), but more features and fixes are coming in the future.
ISO Standard 3D format
ISO-10303 Standard format is used for 3D models exchange (.STEP) and implemented as default format to import and save 3D models in BabaCAD 2019 Enterprise 3D edition. User's work is saved as a mixed 2D/3D objects project. BabaCAD 2019 saves 2D objects in DXF and 3D objects in STEP files. This feature gives 100% compatibility with other 2D/3D CAD platforms.
Low-Cost, .DWG and LISP
BabaCAD is compatible with other CAD software. Open/Save .DWG or .DXF drawings designed in other CAD software. BabaCAD Home edition comes with everything needed for professional draft work, even with LISP scripting enabled. With all these features, BabaCAD Home edition is almost free CAD software if it's price is compared to other professional CAD tools.
Scalable & Customizable
BabaCAD Enterprise edition is extensible by programming user Plugins (C#, VB, .NET .dll). Add your custom functions/commands to solve specific problems. Use Microsoft Visual Studio development tool with large .NET library and many useful components like Web Services, Database connectivity and more.
Drafting capabilities
BabaCAD Home edition is the right choice for professional 2D drafters. It comes with powerful drafting tools to make complex drawings and technical papers. Plot using layouts and multiple viewports to get high definition technical papers in any scale with highest possible precision.

BabaCAD Enterprise - not just a CAD
BabaCAD is professional CAD software with full .DWG support, LISP scripting and advanced drafting tools. BabaCAD Home Edition is for CAD professionals and Enterprise Edition is even more powerful for companies to develop custom plugins for their specific needs.
BabaCAD Enterprise edition now enables developers to use C# (or Visual Basic) as programming language and .NET framework to extend BabaCAD with custom commands, functions or make some complex software solutions based on BabaCAD platform.
Watch the video on the right, to see how we programmed custom command named 'GETGEODATA' to get boundary geometry of any country (country border) that we specify. Extension was programmed with C# and using basic .NET libraries like HttpClient (to connect to one of many free online web services; in our case web service for country boundaries). Code was written in just a few minutes and contains no more than ten lines of code. After C# project is compiled in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (or any other MS Visual Studio version with .NET 4+), .DLL module is copied to BabaCAD NetModules folder and BabaCAD loads it at the startup automatically.
