What is Alphacad?
AlphaCAD is a complete 2D add on architectural program for AutoCAD. It’s a package for architectural parametric commands, with dialogue boxes, for all aspects of 2D cad drafting, from setup a drawing to plot your work.
Repeated actions or tasks with calculations are made automatically and drawn with precision. See the power for architectural objects, enhanced and new commands for layers, annotation, dimensions, blocks and much more.
The program is not intent to replace AutoCAD, but is an extension of its own command for more productivity and ease of design.
