CadTools (ToolBox) is developed for Civil Engineers using AutoCAD. There are a number of great software on the market supporting the design process of roads, rails etc. For minor design work CadTools can be very useful, it contains more than50 commandsmostly in real 3D to support your work.
By combining separate commands through the work process you can achieve almost anything you want.When I developed the commands I certainly had some situations in mind but every command can be used in a variety of situations not onlyin civil work design.
With CadTools you can create your own surface models based on objects in the drawing or import triangles from DWG (other civil software). You can create profiles and cross-sections of multiple surfaces, calculate volumes and plot contours.
It's easy and fun creating real 3D models with CadTools commands, some of these commands can only be found in software that you have to pay money for.
I
work as a civil designer at one of Sweden's leading consulting companies.My main tool for civil design is Bentley InRoads/RailTrack, one of the best software I've seen. Sometimes you need something less complicated so I started developing CadTools while traveling to work by train.
After more than five years and thousands of hours of developing this software now is a powerful tool way beyond my first intentions.Honestly I can't be without it,hope you will feel the same.


CadTools is an out of process software and supports AutoCAD versions: 2001-2021
. (vanilla and verticals i.e. Civil 3D). It also supports ZWCAD+ (2014-2015 and 2018-2019)

There are over 15 000 monthly usersof CadTools!(uniqueusers, 2017-11)

Limitations:

CadTools does not work with AutoCadLT
.Some features are limited for unregistered users.

Windows Vista users!
Problems running CadTools? Probably it's Vista's UAC dabbling, try to launch CadTools as an Administrator. Simply find the shortcut for CadTools, right click on it then in the Compatibility tab select the option that say: Run this program as an Administrator.

If you are using Bricscad you will find the Vehicle Turning in
BricsTurn. The Vehicle Turning is also available as a freeware for Microstation V8. MSTurn
