AndCAD Change Log



As with many pieces of software released, there are always updates being implemented. These changes can be anything from an added feature, to resolving an error in the way the application runs.

This information can be as helpful to the end user as it is to the developer.

For this reason, we have decided to keep a list of updates and make them available online, so that both customers and potential customers can keep track of what we have done. We hope that you find this information helpful.
