Frequently asked questions
Short answers about the trial, system requirements, file formats, institutional rules, AI and support.
How does the trial start?
You fill in the trial form; once your request is approved, the installer link arrives in your e-mail. The 30-day trial starts when you open the program and enter your name and phone number.
Are there restrictions in the trial?
There is no feature restriction; every feature is open. During the trial, DXF, Excel, CSV and LandXML outputs carry a "DEMO" stamp. The trial is available once per computer.
What does it cost?
The price is not published on the site. During or after the trial, write to bilgi@atacad.com.tr.
What computer does it run on?
It runs on 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Nothing else needs to be installed. The 3D view needs a graphics card that supports DirectX 11.
Do I need another CAD program?
No. ATA CAD runs on its own; no other CAD licence is required.
Can I open my existing DWG projects?
DWG and DXF files are read. DWG is not written; drawings are delivered as DXF. Alignment and surface are exchanged through LandXML.
Which institutional rules are included?
The rules of İller Bankası (Turkey's municipal development bank), İSKİ (Istanbul Water and Sewerage Administration) and DSİ (State Hydraulic Works), and the tables of the KGM (General Directorate of Highways) handbook are built into the program. Every value carries its source; a value whose source is not verified does not enter the calculation.
Is there a separate charge for AI?
No. ATA CAD charges nothing extra for AI; you use your own Claude subscription.
Where does my project stay?
Your project file stays on your own computer; it is not sent to a server. The data sent for licence verification is described in the privacy notice the program shows on first launch. For how what you type into the trial form is processed, see the privacy notice (KVKK).
How do I get support?
Write to bilgi@atacad.com.tr. A reply usually comes within the same working day.
Is there a Mac or Linux version?
No. ATA CAD is built for Windows only.
Is the program available in English?
No. The interface and commands are in Turkish. This site is in English so that you can see what the program does.
