From site information to clear drawing documentation
Site plans
Draft site layouts from your project information, organising the geometry and notes needed to explain the work.
Construction details
Prepare detail sheets and update dimensions and annotations as project requirements develop.
As-constructed drawings
Incorporate verified site measurements and recorded changes into your drawing documentation.
Test it on a real civil drawing set
1. Open a representative DWG
Choose a site plan with the drawing content and dependencies you regularly receive.
2. Complete a typical revision
Update a detail or measured layout and check annotations against your drafting standards.
3. Review the issued output
Check scale, linework and sheet presentation before accepting the workflow for project use.
Compare the options before you commit
Explore current licence options in the store and use the price comparison calculator to assess indicative costs. Check the assumptions and included entitlements for your chosen option.
CAD Software for Civil Engineers: Common Workflows
CAD software for civil engineering workflows
Civil engineering drawings require accurate drafting, clear annotations and reliable file exchange. GstarCAD provides DWG-compatible tools that civil engineers and drafting teams can use to prepare and revise technical documentation throughout a project.
Residential and land development
Prepare site layouts, access arrangements, drainage drawings and general civil documentation using existing survey information and project design requirements.
Roads and infrastructure
Work with 2D drawings for road layouts, pavement details, intersections and infrastructure documentation. Specialist design calculations and modelling can be completed using appropriate engineering applications.
Construction and as-constructed drawings
Update drawing sets to reflect approved design changes, site measurements and verified construction information. Manage revisions, dimensions, layers and annotations within your CAD workflow.
DWG collaboration
Open, edit and save DWG drawings to support collaboration with consultants, contractors and other project stakeholders. Check specialist objects and external references when exchanging complex project files.
Common questions
Does this replace dedicated civil design or analysis software?
This page covers CAD drafting and documentation. Road design, terrain modelling, drainage calculations and engineering analysis require their own verified tools. Confirm specialist add-on compatibility separately.
Can I use existing DWG drawings?
GstarCAD supports DWG files. Test your own drawings and required outputs during the trial, including any specialist content or dependencies.
Which licence should I choose?
Select the operating system, edition and licence arrangement that match your requirements. Check the current store details before purchasing.
