Description

Carlson CADNet can be purchased as a standalone module or as part of the Survey Suite or  Takeoff Suite which also includes Construction, GeoTech and Trench. It can run standalone with the included license of IntelliCAD or on top of a separately purchased license of full AutoCAD.

Carlson CADNet and other programs of the Takeoff Suite includes features that are most comparable to construction estimating software such as Paydirt, Quest and Agtek. However, the program also contains much of the same general functionality of the civil design components of programs such as: DCA/Softdesk/Land Desktop, AutoCAD Map, Civil 3d, Raster Design, Eagle Point, TerraModel, GeoPak and InRoads.

All Carlson Software purchases will be delivered by email with your new serial number and download instructions within two business days.

System Requirements

For Carlson’s CAD-based products

Carlson products installed on top of IntelliCAD or AutoCAD are subject to the same requirements as the CAD engine itself. Please follow the requirements for your CAD platform below and allow an additional 750 MB of hard-drive space for the Carlson application.

IntelliCAD (included)

Carlson 2027 runs on IntelliCAD 14.1, with IntelliCAD 13.1 also provided for legacy compatibility.

  • Compatible with 64-bit Windows 8.1, 10 and 11

Hardware

Intel® i9, i7 or at least i5, AMD Ryzen 7/9, or comparable processors are recommended. Due to the variety of processors on the market, you can use cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php to compare them. While the overall processor score matters, single-thread performance is of the most interest.

  • 64-bit Windows 8-11: 8 GB of RAM minimum, 16+ GB recommended

Graphics card compatible with OpenGL version 1.4 or higher:

  • Discrete desktop-level graphics cards are recommended (not integrated graphics such as Intel HD)
  • Nvidia is preferred due to more consistent driver support
  • Discrete AMD cards are adequate, but AMD driver support has been spotty and users are often referred to the computer manufacturer for support
  • High-end graphics cards are not required apart from demanding actions in Carlson Point Cloud. Gaming cards often provide better value than workstation cards, and more memory or a better CPU will generally help more than a high-end graphics card
