The new release accelerates the overall drawing process, speeding up operations such as open, regen, layout switch and object snapping. progeCAD 2022 also has dynamic input on Grips, more grips for quicker editing, optimized selection functioning, faster and smoother transitions with animation while panning, zooming or changing views and spell-check on the fly for multiline, multileader and tables text. The smart restyling and code refactoring of some software components involved Start Page, Perspective mode and View Manager Dialog.

The progeCAD 2022 release also offers in-place text editing in Tables that now have numeric rows and alphabetical columns just like in AutoCAD; the Sheet Set Manager for better organization and easier access to drawings, and as always some discipline-specific new functionality such as the GEO command for geolocation with Bing Maps, Revit 2021 Import/attach and more.

  • START PAGE. The redesigned Start Page has a cleaner interface look for easy access to various initial actions, including access to drawing template files, recently opened drawings as well as online and learning resources. 
  • Dynamic input feature on Grips. Dynamic input includes command prompts and measurement guides displayed on the screen while drawing and editing . 
  • Geolocation with Bing Maps. You can insert geographic location information into a drawing file as a graphic background by specifying the location of a reference point on a map provided by the Bing Maps service. Geographic location information is assigned to a drawing file by capturing a portion of the Bing online map to an object known as a map image and embedding it to the drawing area. Maps can be visualized as Aerial (terrain), Road or mixed.  
  • Incremental Save. It updates only those portions of an already-saved drawing file that you've changed, improving the Save time. 
  • TABLE and TABLEDIT. AutoCAD like Text in-place editing, numeric Rows and alphabetical Columns. New contextual Ribbons for Tables. 
  • AutoCAD-Like Solid grips. Use grips to change the size and shape of 3D solids and extruded surfaces. 
  • Improved 3DConnexion mouse support. All new powerful 3DConnexion devices are now supported. 
  • Improved Array. New Array Grips. New contextual Array Ribbons. 
  • Associative ARRAY. progeCAD can now create Associative Arrays of multiple entities editable through the properties panel.
