CAD Management is solved.

Transforming CAD management into code-repository infrastructure. Sync native assets byte-for-byte, automate distributed engineering fleets asynchronously, and extend unified drafting environments to your supply chain.
If VedaCAD could add a web-based diff viewer for binary CAD files, that would be a game changer for our team. Right now we rely on external tools to see what actually changed between revisions, and it breaks the workflow. Having that built in would make code-style reviews of mechanical assets way more practical.
@zehrakozluosfm Hey there, thanks so much for the feedback! You’re highlighting a massive pain point in the CAD world—diffing binary drawing revisions (.dwg or mechanical models) is notoriously painful.
However, I want to clarify exactly where VedaCAD fits into the tech stack. VedaCAD is strictly a Package Manager and MDM for the CAD environment itself, not a PDM/PLM system for your project drawing files.
To use an analogy: we manage and distribute the factory machinery (your .lsp scripts, .dll plugins, .ctb plot styles, and .dwt templates), not the products (the .dwg mechanical assets) rolling off your assembly line. Because your actual project design files never touch our servers, building a diff viewer for them falls completely outside our architectural boundaries.
Even for the custom tools and scripts we do manage, we focus purely on deployment velocity and version control. To guarantee absolute intellectual property protection, we vault all your proprietary plugins 100% as-is (byte-for-byte). We don't parse, decompile, or peek into your binaries, so we don't generate code-level diffs for them either. We simply ensure that when your CAD admin pushes a new version of a script or standard, your entire global fleet of engineers is synchronized to that exact version.
Hope this clarifies our mission! We're laser-focused on unifying the drafting environment so your team can focus on the actual design work without worrying about IT setup.
👋 Hi Product Hunt! I’m Vico, an architect with 12 years in the trenches, and I'm here to say one thing: CAD Management is solved.
If you've ever managed an engineering team, you know the legacy CAD chaos. VedaCAD ends this nightmare by introducing a new infrastructure built on 4 pillars of absolute control:
☁️ 1. Beyond 'appload' (Invisible Sync) Manual loading is dead. VedaCAD's core kernel intercepts the native startup sequence. Once authenticated, your entire drafting environment follows you instantly with zero friction.
🎟️ 2. The 6-Character VCID Ecosystem We replaced fragile local file paths with absolute identifiers. Type a simple 6-character shortcode (e.g., 7JAU18) in the client, and the asset is instantly resolved and injected into your local sandbox.
🛡️ 3. Enterprise Project Arks Mount external subcontractor environments in isolated containment fields. Arks are strictly dedicated to passive configuration standards like .CTB (Plot Styles), .SHX (Fonts), and .DWT (Templates). Your base CAD remains completely pure, preventing rogue LISP injections.
🔐 4. Enterprise RBAC & Physical Shredding Admins can now issue time-limited access visas. If a visa expires or network validation fails, the VedaCAD kernel executes an instant kill-switch. Cached assets are physically shredded from the local terminal to mathematically eliminate IP leakage.
🎁 Launch Special: The Pioneer Challenge (Exclusive for PRO Users) To bootstrap our ecosystem, we are running a two-stage event for our earliest supporters:
Stage 1: The Early-Bird Lock (Deadline: Oct 31, 2026). Upgrade to the Early-Bird PRO subscription before Oct 31 to lock your rate at $149/year for life. This unlocks the complete Enterprise-aligned format matrix (.DLL, .ARX, .CTB, .DWT, etc.) and automatically enters you into the challenge.
Stage 2: The $99 Pioneer Grant (Achieve by Dec 31, 2026). Upload and share your custom plugin toolkits via VCID. The moment your shared assets are deployed to 99 unique physical devices globally, your $149/year subscription will be instantly and permanently dropped to $99/year for life.
Four pillars. One impenetrable fortress for your design data. Frictionless for the user. Absolute control for the enterprise.
