The First Version Launch

GeoTools was born in the year 1999 (as V1) as a simple set of productivity tools for the AutoCAD platform. It has grown relentlessly over the last 21 years, almost completely based on user-feedback and wish-lists and is today an impressive collection of over 350+ tools under various categories. It is a nearly 100% Lisp application with some parts in ARX/BRX and .NET


German and Spanish language versions

We translated GeoTools into German and Spanish languages in the year 2008.


Support for BricsCAD platform

In the year 2011, we added support for the BricsCAD platform. This was a smooth move as the entire code-base of GeoTools (written for AutoCAD so far) was 100% source-code compatible with BricsCAD as well.


The spawning off of CADPower

By 2011, there were enough general purpose tools in GeoTools to justify a new product that would still be a productivity tool but had nothing  to do with geographic data. In other words, we felt the need for a tool for every CAD user. CADPower was born as a sub-set of GeoTools in the year 2011.


Portuguese (Brazilian) version

In the year 2016, we started translating the user-interface into Portuguese (BR) language also. The first PTBR version was released in the year 2017.


GeoTools Today

GeoTools is available today in English, Spanish, German and Portuguese (Brazil) languages, for the AutoCAD & BricsCAD platforms.


In the year 2021, we released a beta version of GeoTools and CADPower for the ZWCAD and Graebert ARES Commander platforms. A full release is planned for the future.
