Save ADT-compatible objects and parameters for intelligent use in AutoCAD® and AutoCAD® LT. (DoubleCAD™ .DWG files with ADT-compatible objects can be brought into AutoCAD® products and retain their self-healing properties. For example, bring a DoubleCAD™ .DWG file with walls and blocks into AutoCAD® LT and walls continue to self-heal within AutoCAD® LT as those blocks are moved. DoubleCAD™ is a great way to kick-start your project).	√	√
Open and Save .DWF	√	√
Google™ SketchUp™ File Import Double CAD™ imports all visible geometry, layers, and components, converts all components to DoubleCAD™ blocks to optimize drawing performance, creates a paper space from each SketchUp™ scene, and allows you to visualize 3D models, even with hidden line and perspective, giving you a printable 2D drawing from the moment you import a model. Develop construction documents quickly from SketchUp™ 6 and 7 models (Video Demo).	√	√
Open and Save SAT, 3DS, OBJ, STEP, and IGES Mechanical drawings can be brought in for advanced detailing projects or translations from almost any MCAD application. Beyound .DWG, DoubleCAD™ is an excellent companion to SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Pro/E, and other CAD programs.	√

Self-Healing Walls (ADT Compatible) Self-healing walls (straight and curved; ends and intersections) are a joy to use when creating floorplans. With self-healing walls, there is no longer a need to re-edit the wall after inserting a window or door, as the wall will automatically heal to incorporate these architectural objects. Healing also works when these objects are removed from a wall (Video Demo).	√	√
Self-Aligning Blocks All blocks are correctly aligned when inserted into DoubleCAD™'s ADT-compatible walls. Walls automatically heal around blocks as appropriate (see above Video Demo).	√	√
Intelligent (Parametric), Attribute-Rich Architectural Objects: DoubleCAD™'s Architectural Objects are all fully parametric, meaning that all geometric (i.e., height, width, depth) and style (shape, type, material) attributes can be easily adjusted when the object is selected. Doors and windows (self-aligning), stairs, and rails can be further customized with application of materials to the different parts of each project.	√

2D Architectural Objects Are 3D-Ready Enormous time savings in 2D-to-3D conversion time. Because architectural objects are ADT compatible, they include a full set of 3D properties that can be fully exposed and utilized in CAD programs such as AutoCAD® Architecture or AutoCAD® Architectural Desktop.	√
Architectural Markers (Self Incrementing) Insert markers to number objects such as rooms, doors or windows in your architectural plans. Great for creating legends, call outs, or simply mapping points and adding notes to your drawings. Four different marker styles are included.	√
Schedule Tool and Wizard Create a schedule displaying the number of Doors and Windows used in your drawing. The Wizard allows you to create and fill the schedule table with drawing information faster and easier. Adding a window or door into a drawing dynamically updates the schedule. User has complete control over how text will appear.	√
Style Manager Allows for complete design control of the style of each of the components of your architectural drawing; including dimensions, text, and all architectural object types. The Style Manager includes pre-defined, fully parametric styles for doors, windows, walls, dimensions, schedules, tables and text. These pre-defined styles can be customized to your preferences and new styles can be easily added.	√

Xrefs External references, or "xrefs", are one of the keys to efficient drafting, especially of building plans. Xrefs help you minimize duplication of geometry, thereby making editing more efficient and helping to keep drawings in synch. Xrefs also can help keep file sizes down when you use the same large components (e.g., elaborate title blocks) in multiple drawings. Also, in a multidisciplinary work environment, xrefs allow current sharing of data. (Note: DoubleCAD™ XT Pro allows XREFs to be created from any supported file format. XREFs whose sections are detailed using the Drafting Palette remain associative when the original file is changed and the XREF is refreshed).	√	Import but not create	√
Drafting & Detailing Palette Powerful detailing and drafting tools. use surface models or ACIS® solid models to create nested, associative sections that can be dimensioned and hatched in paperspace (i.e., cross sections of cross sections).	√
Drafting Palette details of xrefs are associative when changes are refreshed.	√
Rapidly update construction documents and part detail drawings as a companion to the CAD Designer's or Architect's changes regardless of their design application if the file is saved in any importable format.	√
Quickly create horizontal or vertical sections of 3D architectural objects to communicate details and design intent.	√
Pre-defined settings for generating horizontal and vertical sections and sectional views of imported 3D models.	√
Bill Of Materials (BOM) An effective way to cost your design. Report on all object properties and block attributes, assign custom attributes, or adjust the query to produce custom reports.	√
Design Director Organizes layer, graphic, and object categories.	√
Variable Palette Perform calculations and specify variables and formulas and use them when drawing. Dimensions created with Auto Add Constraint automatically become constraining dimensions and their values are stored and controlled in the palette. Use these variables to parametrically or formulaically drive dimensional constraints.	√
Parametric Part Manager Create reusable 2D and 3D parts that are parametrically defined. Assigned parameters become a part of the object's properties.	√
Dynamic Blocks Create 2D blocks only.			√
Image Manager (preload, organize and manage raster images) Manage all bit-mapped (raster) images associated with your vector drawing. Images loaded into the Image Manager can be automatically embedded or extracted from your drawing. Image visualization properties can be defined, including rendering output engine and filtering quality.	√
Clipping of Bitmapped Images (closed curves and polylines) Extend your presentation capability by importing graphic files and clipping them using any closed 2D object, including splines. Files can include BMP, GIF, PNG, TIF, PCX, ICO, TGA and WMF.	√
Tracing Tools Raster-to-vector conversion of bit mapped images to vector images.	√
