Choose your trade
A drawing says which trade it is for. ParametrIQ CAD then offers that trade's tools beside the general drawing, editing and dimensioning tools, lists its export formats first and sends it to its machines. Each trade's page shows what you can design, the tools you get and how the work goes to the shop floor.
