Sold once, not rented
Every licence is perpetual. We would rather earn the upgrade than hold your drawings hostage to a renewal date.
About
Enterprise grade CAD,
Enterprise grade CAD,
made accessible.
That sentence is the company’s stated mission, and it is also the reason ACTCAD is sold on a one-time licence rather than a subscription.
Our story
20 years of CAD, and one stubborn idea.
The company was founded in 2006 by the team behind PowerCAD Draft, one of the earliest CAD solutions of its era. ACTCAD itself launched in 2014.
What they kept running into was a gap. The professional CAD packages did everything a drawing office needed and cost more than most offices could justify. The affordable ones were affordable because they left things out. ACTCAD exists to close that gap: the full drafting toolset on native DWG, on a licence you buy once.
Today the software is used by 110,000+ licensed users in 106 countries, from independent consultants to Fortune 500 companies and around 200 government and defence bodies. It is a product of Jytra Technology Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
Mission
To make enterprise-grade CAD software accessible to everyone.
Two headquarters — one in Michigan, one in Hyderabad — and regional offices across 17 more territories.
