Designed as an overlay program for AutoCAD®,
HydraCAD is a fully integrated 3D software package specialized toward the design of
fire sprinkler systems and is the most complete and integrated CAD package
available.
Only HydraCAD produces True Revit MEP
content. Content is generated automatically from the HydraCAD model providing exactly
the information specified in exactly the format required for use throughout the
entire process, not just 3D coordination. This includes meta data attached to
true native BIM objects, not just Revit or Navisworks representations of
Autodesk objects.
V52 for AutoCAD 2014 and 2013 is compatible with both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8
V51 for AutoCAD 2010, 2011 and 2012 is compatible with both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7
More than 40 years of experience and innovation in this industry. 25 years in HydraCAD™ and AutoCAD®. HydraCAD™ retains its industry leading status with full implementation of AutoCAD 2014 tools.
