Navigation:  General Features > CADtools Labs

CADtools Labs is a mechanism that allows the development team to quickly distribute and update new experimental tools, so we can rapidly get your feedback.
Once a tool is more fully developed, it will 'graduate' from the Labs to become part of the main CADtools Ribbon.

 

 

Note: CADtools Labs may be disabled on your PC if your local CAD/BIM leadership have decided to do so.
