HighDesign

Superior User Interface

Advanced Resource Management

Powerful Elegance
HighDesign provides tools and functions developed for the actual design practice so that you can focus on your idea rather than the tool.

Most elements are parametric: their shape, size and appearance can be defined and tied to adjustable parameters. Hatches can change their spacing according to the drawing scale, symbols can use their original colors or your colors.

Of course you can use all the familiar drafting tools to create and modify geometric shapes.

For architects, engineers and construction professionals, the Pro edition provides even more powerful tools and project management features: walls, doors and windows, sheets, details, layouts, title blocks, and more.

INTEROPERABILITY
Two Platforms, One Workflow
HighDesign is available for Mac and Windows: it comes with the same interface, feature* set and file format for both Mac and Windows platforms: this means that exchanging files and sharing resources between different machines and with external collaborators has never been so easy.

Also, with the support of the DWG 2018-2020 file format and with the introduction of Block Attributes, Layouts, Title Blocks and Viewports HighDesign R6 Pro is now more compatible than ever and is the perfect choice for design firms and professionals.

Smooth Transition
If you come from another CAD/Design application, HighDesign Pro gives you the freedom to work as you are already accustomed to: you can draw the project on one single Drafting Sheet at a 1:1 real scale (as in the Model workspace) and use Layouts and Viewports to create scaled views of the project for presentations, or you can benefit from the use of multiple scaled Drafting Sheets, Detail Sheets and Project Views to best organize your project.
