Aircad is a browser-based CAD workspace combining precision 2D drafting, 3D solid modeling, and drawing documentation. It offers familiar command-line drafting tools, snaps, layers, blocks, dimensions, and NURBS-based modeling operations such as booleans, fillets, lofts, and sweeps. Users can open DWG files with layouts and annotations, import formats including Rhino, STEP, glTF, and SVG, and export drawings as DWG, DXF, or PDF and models as STL or OBJ. The service requires no installation and is designed to handle large files, with the company citing support for more than 250,000 entities and a model containing 38,510 editable solids.
An optional AI agent can answer questions about a drawing, make edits, write scripts, and render models; proposed drawing changes appear as drafts for users to accept or reject. The example checks a stair against IRC limits, calculates a compliant riser arrangement, and offers to revise the plan. Teams can edit the same file simultaneously, leave comments anchored to drawing locations, and control viewing and editing access. Aircad also records edits in unlimited version history, with tools to compare, restore, or fork revisions. Documentation features include dimensions, GD&T, leaders, tables, title blocks, sections, and print previews. JavaScript scripting supports custom commands with live previews and sandboxed execution, while shared script libraries can keep team tools current.
