Real CAD for Plumbers®
Real CAD for Plumbers
PlumbersCAD is the only CAD software built expressly for use by Plumbers to create ‘As-Built’ drawings (also known as ‘As-Constructed’ or ‘As-Installed’ plans). Based on our most popular CAD software, RealCAD®, you’ll be able to rapidly edit existing CAD drawings or create your own from scratch.
“No CAD software is as fast to learn or as easy to master, I know because I have to support them all ! :).” Dani Ramiro, Support Manager, CAD International.

No need for any other CAD software or months of learning. By using RealCAD for Plumbers you’ll be able to import existing architects and surveyors plans, strip them of unwanted information and accurately place your pipework and fittings information to Australian standards.
(For those outside Australia you’ll also be able to use this software by adjusting the settings and symbols to suit your local rules)

For those who don’t need to use the software every day, it’s also great to know commands are easier to recall than any other CAD software in its class.
” I switched from AutoCAD LT as it was just too hard and too expensive. I like that I can get a life-time license too”

Keeping things simple is one thing, but making it powerful and efficient is RealCAD’s great achievement.
A clean, modern interface, a helpful prompt, an interactive cursor, minimal buttons and many actions that don’t require a command to be chosen, all add up to RealCAD’s unique productivity leading approach.
Not Just Plumbing
Because PlumbersCAD is actually an enhanced version of our most popular RealCAD software, you’ll be able to use all the standard CAD tools for any type of drawing and design, not just plumbing diagrams and as-constructed plans. Now that’s a benefit you may not have considered? .
“I’ve been using RealCAD for everything from designing my kids cubby-house to calculating how much pipe I need on proposed works. I even use it to check off items when doing quotes.”
