Compare Versions
We are continually updating AdaCAD to experiment with new features so we offer different version of the software for you to use. Currently, you can use AdaCAD 4 or AdaCAD 3. We outline details of each version below.
- AdaCAD 4 (beta)
- AdaCAD 3 (stable)
AdaCAD 4.0 is available at https://adacad-4-1.web.app/.
This is the "beta" version of the software which means that it is currently being tested few more bugs (which we rely on the community to tell us about!).
AdaCAD 3.0 is available at https://adacad.org/.
This is the "stable" version of the software which means that it has been tested more deeply than the beta version.
