We develop extremely high ACAD compatible solution. If you were an ACAD users, you will be impressed by the high level of compatibility. Just 15 minutes you will find you are familiar with GstarCAD.
Native DWG/DXF support
Completely compatible with AutoCAD ® in data format.
Familiar interface and command
Support both Classic and Ribbon interface.
Get started with familiar command structure and shortcut.
Easy to import
Import your printers, templates, blocks, Lisp programs or sheet set layouts with just several clicks.
Powerful Performance
With our advanced technology and optimized algorithms, GstarCAD guarantees faster processing speeds. Our efficient multi-core processing ensures smoother handling of complex drawings, reducing lag and enhancing user experience.
Innovative Tools
GstarCAD offers over 100 unique and innovation tools like “Area Table”, “Auto Layer”, “Viewport to Layout”, “Autoxlstable”. They are adopted to significantly speed up your drafting speed.
Cross-Platform Availability
GstarCAD is engineered to run natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
You can pick the environment that fits your workflow—without compromise.
Better than ever
GstarCAD 2025 elevates performance to a new level with Hardware Acceleration and other improvements, significantly enhancing the design experience. Exciting new features include Parametric Constraints, BIM Data Editing, and Voice Annotation, etc. Moreover, compatibility has been expanded with the addition of Python support, empowering more robust customization and automation！
Parametric Constraints
First introduced last year, Parametric Constraints have been significantly enhanced with the addition of Dimensional Constraints and a powerful Parameters Manager. These upgrades offer precise control over object sizes and proportions, and make it easier to manage parameters and user variables—unlocking greater efficiency.
DWG Compare
Instantly spot design changes with the Drawing Compare feature—highlighting differences between the current and specified drawings using revision clouds. Fine-tune comparison settings, import selected objects, and export results as snapshot drawings to ensure clear version tracking and seamless collaboration.
Drawing Merge
Streamline your workflow with the enhanced Drawing Merge feature—an all-in-one tool for batch analyzing, splitting, and merging drawings via Xrefs. View entity properties with ease, customize layout settings to fit your needs, and export drawing lists to .lst files for project organization.
Point Cloud to CAD Solution
Integrated with Undet Point Cloud plugin, GstarCAD 2026 now offers a full suite of tools that allow you to seamlessly import and manage point cloud data directly in GstarCAD. With GstarCAD’s comprehensive drafting features, you can create accurate 2D and 3D drawings from Point Cloud with great efficiency.
Seamless Point Cloud Integration
Create point cloud projects using data from various formats captured by any laser scanner or drone, and manage them in GstarCAD.
Advanced Visualization Options
Explore point cloud data with flexible coloring modes, adjustable transparency, and detailed 360° panoramic views.
Accurate CAD Drawing Creation
Provides specialized features to extract walls, planes, and other features from point clouds, enabling precise creation of 2D and 3D drawings.
Streamlined Workflow
Accelerate your design process by combining interactive editing and visualization, easy-to-use drafting tools, and efficient data handling.
