4M

Our overall outcome in terms of reliability and performance could never be achieved without adopting the ODA Platform.

C. Charalampopoulos
CTO - 4M

Advanced Computer Solutions

We made significant use of the ODA Architecture SDK and incorporated automatic scheduling, live energy calculations and intelligent drafting into Caddie. This means that a window is understood as a window and a door as a door, with a collection of relevant properties as opposed to a bunch of lines simply depicting the object.

Bricsys

We couldn’t take BricsCAD® forward without the help of the ODA. Our in-house developers focus on UX, our Building Information Modeling products and bringing the power of Artificial Intelligence to CAD. If we didn’t have access to the Drawings SDK, we would need a huge team dedicated just to .dwg interoperability. That wouldn’t be profitable for us. Our ODA membership is a win-win for all concerned.

Erik De Keyser
CEO, Bricsys nv

Carlson Software

The ODA is the best in the business at what it does. The ODA Platform enables us to work with customers who are using .dwg- and .dgn-based CAD programs, and that opens up tremendous markets.

David Carlson
Senior Vice President for Development – Carlson Software

Esri

Ultimately, ODA opens up possibilities for our own development efforts. It has freed us to follow new potential that we probably would not otherwise have attempted.

Don Kuehne
Product Manager – Esri

IMSI/Design

We can trust the ODA to deliver .dwg basics while we concentrate on developing new and innovative products on both existing and emerging CAD platforms.  Our use of the ODA Platform enables us to focus on what we do best – create new functionality for a wide range of users.

Bob Mayer
President and CEO – IMSI/Design

IntelliCAD Technology Consortium

IntelliCAD was the first native .dwg clone to use the ODA libraries, and after more than 20 years, IntelliCAD still depends on the ODA Platform for its core database to open, visualize, edit, and save .dwg and .dgn files without conversion or data loss. History has shown that we can depend on the ODA to deliver core technology to meet our requirements now, and in the future.

Dave Lorenzo
President – IntelliCAD Technology Consortium

Knowledge Base

Using the ODA Platform, we can quickly and easily keep in step with technological changes, maintain better compliance with .dwg files and direct our efforts to other areas such as making our software more powerful and feature rich.

Brett Rowbotham
Research Development Manager – Knowledge Base

Nanosoft

Joining ODA was absolutely the right decision. The ODA Platform gives us true native .dwg support. It is very important to us to have the freshest .dwg compliance because it is so critical to CAD users.

Dmitry Popov
CTO – Nanosoft

ZWSOFT

Our innovative products satisfy user needs, ease their work load and help them win new business - all at a reasonable price. ODA's commitment to open industry-standard formats for the exchange of CAD data has made this easier to achieve.

Charles Zhao
ZWCAD R&D Leader - ZWSOFT
