Features

• Purpose Built for Professional Landscapers - LANDWorksCAD Pro is an easy-to-use professional level software specifically created for landscapers needs. It is not an engineering software for computer guru's and masterminds.
  Most landscapers have avoided CAD because traditional CAD software was too difficult, too basic, too ugly or too expensive. Look no further, LANDWorksCAD is designed with you in mind.
• Stand-Alone - When you buy LANDWorksCAD you don't need AutoCAD. LANDWorksCAD is a complete program in its own right. It has all the tools you expect in a professional CAD program and will work with files created in other CAD software.
  LANDWorksCAD is also easier to learn and use and is significantly less expensive too!
• Versatile - You can use LANDWorksCAD-Pro to create sketch plans, 3D perspectives, sections, concept plans, planting plans, hard works plans, construction details, plant schedules, contour plans, irrigation plans, lighting plans, elevations, presentations and more.
• Excel Database Driven - Keeping it so simple (KISS), LANDWorksCAD's extensive plant database is simply an excel spreadsheet file! This means you can edit and create your own plant list to suit the choice and trends specific to your preferences and plants in your area. You are not locked in to plants from any one region or continent.
• Professionals Anywhere - LANDWorksCAD is ideal for user from any location anywhere in the world. The system operates in both Imperial and Metric units and is supplied with a huge plant database that can be edited and added to with ease.
  This software can be used in North America, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, Europe, Russia, India, China, Japan.... anywhere.
• Compatible - LANDWorks is compatible with files created with AutoCAD and many other software programs allowing you to share your designs with architects, town planners, surveyors and public authorities. You can open and edit their files or even scan and accurately scale existing paper based drawings ready to start your design.
• Head Start - Scanned drawings can be imported into LANDWorksCAD where they can be accurately rescaled and used as an underlay for your designs. Ideal too for aerial photographs, Google Earth images and site plan information.
• Image Conscious - Digital or scanned photographs and other bitmap images can be incorporated into your drawings allowing for complex logo's and graphic illustrations of the plants and surrounds that relate to your design. Let natures own imagery paint a picture for you and your clients to appreciate.
• Get Automated - Click on a plant or feature and LANDWorksCAD will give you the correctly named label (call-out) to place just where you want and in the style you choose. Multiple plants are also counted and quantities added to the label if desired.
• Accurate Count and Legend - One more click and let LANDWorksCAD count all the plants and place an accurate plant schedule and legend in your drawing. It knows which plants are proposed and which are existing too!
• Good Measure - Instant, accurate measurement tools assist in costing and calculating job requirements with confidence. Calculate areas, lengths, angles and quantities straight off the drawing, even around complex curves.
• Intuitive - Locating end points, mid-points, distances, intersections and important key locations are achieved very intelligently without keyboard commands or obscure mouse movements. Makes creating your drawings accurate and fast.
  LANDWorksCAD even has a tool for measuring the position of two offsets... so you can place a tree for instance, by telling the system how far from the fence and from the side of the building.
• Sketch and Stretch™ Technology - Changes to your design are made easier by LANDWorksCAD's Sketch and Stretch™ technology. Items can be roughed in and later stretched to the desired position and everything attached updates automatically.
  The unlimited undo and redo allows you to be quite carefree as you work, secure in the knowledge that you can go back to any stage, not just to the last function or two.
• Instant Changes - If there was just one feature that made you buy LANDWorksCAD today it would be this... Make sweeping changes to your design without having to redraw. You can even 'switch' between a basic concept appearance and a final detailed look for your plants with one click.
• Chop and Swap™ - Adding to the ease of making changes is LANDWorksCAD's unique ability to find all the species of one plant and swap it for another in a jiffy, and the labels, schedules, legends and appearance of your planting is updated immediately on your command.
• Magic Eraser™ - Powerful editing of lines is made possible by the proprietary Magic Eraser function. Just press Alt+drag your cursor to trim, delete, or break lines of any type.
• 3D - LANDWorksCAD Pro is the full 3D version of LANDWorksCAD. From height data you have in the 2D drawing let LANDWorksCAD automatically generate a 3D DTM (Digital Terrain Model), then project the plants you've placed in plan onto the DTM surface.
• Communicate Better - Need to explain an idea with clarity. Let 3D do the talking.
