Why ARION

More than a standalone CAD

Many programs can open DWG. ARION comes with what a CAD alone does not give you.

The core of CG Suite

ARION is the CAD you open; CG Suite adds discipline libraries, survey and GIS tools around it.

Lana AI assistant

CADGlobal's 24/7 personal CAD AI assistant, built to read drawings and help with routine CAD tasks.

Support from people

CADGlobal has served more than 8,000 customers in over 25 countries since 2010, with training through CADGlobal Academy.

What ARION does

What ARION is built to do

ARION is built for architects, engineers, surveyors and manufacturers who work in DWG and want to own their CAD instead of renting it.

Built for DWG

Open, edit and save DWG and DXF. Early access members can send us their own drawings to test before launch.

Familiar from day one

Built around AutoCAD-style commands, aliases and a command line, designed to make switching faster and more familiar.

2D drafting and 3D modelling

Precise 2D production drawings and 3D models in the same program.

Automation

LISP support. Tell us which of your routines matter most and we test them before launch.

Lifetime license

Pay once and keep using your version. No yearly subscription, no lock-out when you stop paying.

Windows desktop

A desktop CAD for Windows, licensed per seat, that you install and keep using.

CG Suite

ARION is the CAD you open. CG Suite is the package.

CG Suite bundles ARION with CADGlobal's discipline tools, the same way a design collection bundles its core CAD with add-ons. Buy ARION on its own, or as part of the Suite for your discipline.

Why ARION? In Greek mythology Arion was the immortal horse, faster than any other. We named our CAD after it because the job of a CAD is simple: get your drawing done, fast.
