GeoTools - General purpose every day tools for the geo-DATA .dwg CAD user

Many of you in this forum have heard about and used GeoTools add-on software for AutoCAD, which has been in use since 1999.

 

Recently, we split GeoTools into CADPower and GeoTools.

 

GeoTools V13 now has only pure-GEO CAD functions, costs only USD 129 and offers the best value for money today.

 

You can download a fully functional evaluation version at this URL:http://www.4d-technologies.com/geotools

 

We can guarantee that this is the one of the highest value any add-on to AutoCAD can add. Experience it NOW!
