TrueCAD/ChoiceCAD changes name


Since October 2002, we have been consolidating the brand names under which TrueCAD / ChoiceCAD was sold around the world, and have now settled on AllyCAD as the original name under which the product was developed and sold. So the same product that was sold as TrueCAD / ChoiceCAD will now be sold as AllyCAD.

Please visit our AllyCAD website for detailed product information and to find out about the new functionality and sought after toolkits that come included with AllyCAD.

Frequently Asked Questions


What happened to ChoiceCAD / TrueCAD?

AllyCAD, ChoiceCAD and TrueCAD have always been the same product, but AllyCAD is simply the latest version. In October 2002, we decided to standardise under one brand name (AllyCAD) in order to simplify world-wide support.

 

Can AllyCAD read ChoiceCAD / TrueCAD files?

Yes, the file format is identical.

 

Is AllyCAD similar to ChoiceCAD / TrueCAD?

It is identical except that it has minor interface changes, substantial changes in functionality and includes our sought after toolkits. At one stage all three products were identical except in branding. Since the decision to move to one brand name no updates have been provided for ChoiceCAD or TrueCAD, which means that they are now significantly lacking in the features that AllyCAD provides.

 

Will I have to go through a learning curve?

No, AllyCAD is identical to ChoiceCAD and TrueCAD. It is just a later version with many improvements. All the menus, snaps, geometry etc are there.

 

Will Archimate / Mechmate work with AllyCAD?

These add-ons (produced by other companies) were designed to work with an older version of AllyCAD/ChoiceCAD/TrueCAD and will no longer function in AllyCAD. We have however introduced Architectural and Mechanical Toolkits in AllyCAD, which have similar functionality to these add-ons.

 

Can I easily upgrade to AllyCAD?

Yes, the file format is identical so loading existing ChoiceCAD and TrueCAD drawings is very easy. The interface, menus and keystrokes are the same, which means that you will be up to speed in no time at all. You will also have access to new and improved AllyCAD functionality, in particular, the new sought-after Toolkit functions.

 

What upgrade discount do I get if I own a copy of TrueCAD / ChoiceCAD?

ChoiceCAD and TrueCAD users get a 65% discount on the regular purchase price when upgrading to the latest version of AllyCAD Professional.
