AllyCAD is a CAD software application for 2D and 3D design and drafting, developed and sold by Knowledge Base.[1][2] It is used primarily in Southern Africa and the UK[3] in the Civil Engineering sector. AllyCAD is endorsed by the South African Institution of Civil Engineering[4][5] and the Engineering Council of South Africa[citation needed] and incorporated into the Education Departments Engineering Graphics and Design curriculum across tertiary institutions in South Africa.[citation needed] AllyCAD is one of the most popular CAD systems in South Africa. It is also used in 40 countries around the world.
History[edit]
AllyCAD was originally developed by Paul Harper and was bought by Vincent Bester in February 1998. Vincent went on to develop The 'Civil Designer' civil engineering infrastructure design suite of software integrating AllyCAD as the central CAD module. Elements of 'Stardust' and 'AllyCAD' were combined to form the Design Centre module, the Survey & Terrain and Roads modules came from Stardust, the Sewer and Storm modules were based on the original programs developed by Vincent. Since then the developer Knowledge Base distributes AllyCAD as a stand-alone CAD software package.
In 2006 the Western Cape Education Department of South Africa put forward AllyCad along with AutoCAD and CADDIE as the suggested software to use for Engineering Graphics and Design, and also for Civil Technology.[6]
Versions[edit]
The current version is AllyCAD 8.3[7][8]. There are four price versions of AllyCAD available[9][10][11]. All four have complete functionality but the drawing size is restricted in the low-cost versions. The basic version (HOME edition) also intended for testing can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website[12]. The full version, AllyCAD PRO,has no restrictions on the size of supported files[13].
