 VariCAD is a powerful tool for realizing your ideas. You will adapt to our
 software quickly as VariCAD is highly interactive and user friendly. There are
 various techniques and approaches to suit your data-style and creativity.

 Our libraries of 3D solids make creation of individual parts and assemblies
 comfortable and enjoyable. Any changes made on an assembly drawing will
 automatically update corresponding detailed parts and vice versa. Individual
 solids can be assigned various attributes and additional non-graphical
 information that are then used to generate part' s lists (BOM) and fill out
 drawing title blocks.
 .
 3D views and cross-sections are transferred into 2D to generate
 manufacturing drawings with the option of a 3D isometric view added to the
 drawing to help visualize complex parts.
