DWG Support
ZWCAD’s native file format is DWG, so it can open, edit, and save any existing DWG file generated by AutoCAD® from version 2.5 to 2009 without conversion or data loss. This makes ZWCAD compatible with a wide range of AutoCAD® - generated contents.

Programming with ZWCAD
You can customize and extend ZWCAD through LISP, VBA and SDS programming languages and interfaces.
LISP is an AutoLISP-compatible programming language designed to extend and customize functions performed by ZWCAD.
Microsoft VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) is an object-oriented programming environment designed to provide rich development capabilities similar to those of Visual Basic 6 (VB). The primary difference between VBA and VB is that VBA runs in the same process space as ZWCAD, providing a faster programming
environment.
SDS (Solutions Development System) is a C/C++ programming interface compatible with the ADS® (AutoCAD® Development System) interface.
