When is it worth upgrading SchüCad basic to SchüCad next?

It's worth upgrading to SchüCad next as soon as you are regularly using CAD functions in your day-to-day business and your designs require more than the standard functions. The software enables 2D and 3D constructions, supports the efficient creation of detailed workshop drawings and offers a direct interface to SchüCal – including the “User-defined design (3D)” function. You can also benefit from the option to use third-party AutoCAD® plug-ins, integrate your own LISP programs or use SchüCad next together with AutoCAD® and Inventor®. SchüCad next really comes into its own with complex projects, individual solutions or with multiple CAD workstations.

Additional features such as regular article updates or the uniform user interface ensure high efficiency and compatibility in the entire planning process. The integrated Schüco article library with pre-defined profile sections saves time during the design. The powerful interface means that exploded drawings in 2D and 3D as well as profile preparation diagrams can also be copied over from SchüCal .

“With SchüCad next, we have the perfect mix of AutoCad functions and an extensive range of functions that are required to create workshop drawings, attachments to building structure and documentation plans.“
