ProgeSOFT Unveils progeCAD 2025

ProgeSOFT has reached a new milestone in the development of its flagship CAD product. It is releasing progeCAD 2025 on the new engine with Advanced Blocks support to streamline design workflow. CAD professionals can now create and edit blocks with parameters, actions, and visibility states just like with AutoCAD dynamic blocks.

progeCAD 2025 maintains blocks smart parameters when it opens AutoCAD drawings with existing dynamic blocks and transparently converts them into Advanced Blocks on editing. Enjoy the old perpetual license model with the new progeCAD 2025 functionality and no annual fee.

The new major release also showcases the new progeCAD Generative AI Translator, which allows CAD users to translate all or part of their drawings into any language; the new AEC module compatible with AutoCAD AEC Objects; and the new ARX API framework for porting of AutoCAD applications to progeCAD.

progeCAD 2025 also offers enhanced performance in several areas: faster opening drawings with multiple blocks and external references; quicker editing geometry with the QBREAK and EBREAK commands; and easier GIS/Map image editing with Rubber sheeting.

New Engine with Thousands of Bug Fixes

• Advanced Blocks (aka AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks): Transparently convert Dynamic Blocks to Advanced Blocks. The block editor also allows you to create and edit Advanced Blocks using parameters, actions, and visibility states as with AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks
• Rubber Sheeting: Use rubber sheeting on images to align geographically two or more different data sets from different sources
• New DATAEXTRACTION: Added new functions and the ability to create dynamic tables inside the drawing that can be updated based on drawing changes.
• ARX API: The new API framework compatible with AutoCAD ARX Classes, which facilitates the porting of AutoCAD applications to progeCAD.
• New BIM Importer: Direct import of Autodesk Revit files (up to v. 2024) selecting the entire model or a specific View
• IFC Export: Create IFC from DWG with the new experimental IFCEXPORT and IFCEXPORTOPTIONS commands. It is possible to include .rvt, .ifc underlays, and AEC Objects when exporting to .ifc files. Specify the IFC4 or IFC4x3 schema when exporting to .ifc files and set display properties for AEC styles.

“By incorporating Advanced Blocks into our CAD package, we’ve given the progeCAD community the long-awaited feature, which will make your everyday design tasks quick and effortless. And with the new ARX API framework implemented in progeCAD 2025, we’re looking forward to the tremendous value these new applications could add to our already outstanding CAD platform,” says Marco Lucini, CEO at ProgeSOFT SA.
