Customers should be aware they are not purchasing a replacement program for AutoCAD or BricsCAD.

CAD Design Software products use this Graphic Engine only to execute our developed layout and design software program tools (e.g. compiled ARX and LSP files) and the EPD for Windows and the BWX and ACAM products should not be considered, replaced, or assumed it could be used to replace any prior AutoCAD or BricsCAD design environment to perform or produce productive work. CAD Design Software does not assume any liability if EPD for Windows products are used as a replacement for AutoCAD or BricsCAD.

When an EPD Suite or Stand Alone product(s) is executed it will load our ARX and intelligent background programs automatically. Any DWG / DXF file, drawing or design that is either created in or opened in or saved in the EPD for Windows environment or a Stand Alone environment, the only change made to the DWG, is the substitution of CDS-Polylines. The EPD for WIndows does not allow use of custom AutoLISP Routines or loading custom ARX programs.
