VirtoCAD is a specialized Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software application tailored for the window, door, and facade industry. Version v2.0.4 represents a specific incremental update focused on performance and stability within its broader 2.x release series.

Core Purpose & Functionality
The software is designed to transform the workflow of manufacturers and designers by enabling the creation of precise technical drawings and production data directly from sales or conceptual designs.

1. Parametric Object Modeling

   • Provides intelligent, parametric libraries of standard and custom windows, doors, curtain walls, and related components (frames, sashes, glazing, hardware).

   • Changes to dimensions or properties automatically update the entire design and associated documentation.

2. Automated Drawing & Documentation

   • Automatically generates standardized, industry-compliant technical drawings: elevations, sections, plans, and detail views from the 3D model.

   • Produces accurate bill of materials (BOM), cutting lists, and cost estimates, which are crucial for manufacturing and pricing.

3. Integration & Data Flow

   • Acts as a bridge between sales/design and production (e.g., CNC machinery). It often integrates with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) to streamline data transfer.

   • May offer import/export capabilities for common CAD formats (DXF, DWG) and BIM.
