Since the release of ZWCAD 2026 in May, designers and engineers worldwide have been benefiting from faster, smarter, and simpler design workflows. Now, we’re excited to bring you ZWCAD 2026 1.1, packed with new enhancements to boost collaboration, performance, and stability.
What's New
This latest version introduces two key improvements designed to make your CAD experience even more efficient and reliable:
IFC Import, Edit & Export
Collaborate better across disciplines with enhanced support for the IFC format. You can now filter components when importing, export custom attributes, retrieve objects intelligently via the structure tree, and attach references for better model reuse.
External Reference Optimization
We’ve also enhanced the performance of external references (Xrefs), particularly under networked or shared paths. The new version also introduces a batch repair plug-in to increase the success rate of Xref bindings.
See the Improvements in Action
To help you get the most out of these new features, we’ve prepared two short videos that demonstrate how they work in real design scenarios. Watch them now to see how ZWCAD 2026 1.1 can elevate your workflow.
