Multiple Platforms: In general, the free tools listed here work with full AutoCAD 2007 or higher (no LT) and BricsCAD v12 Pro Windows (or higher). Most files with a LSP extension should work on others like IntelliCAD. See the columns to the right of each tool for specific minimum/maximum versions.
Autodesk AppStore: For those running the most recent versions of AutoCAD, using the icons below provides an easy to use installer. For users of older versions of AutoCAD, as well as BricsCAD and IntelliCAD, use the ZIP file option in the first column.

ZIP File Notes:
- If you have problems NETLOADing, you may need to unblock the ZIP & DLLs using Windows Explorer.
- Netloading from network drives may fail, consider using a local drive/path (like D:\CADSTUFF).
- After the first manual load, the add-on will automatically load for subsequent sessions.
- All CAD sessions must be closed before DLLs can be deleted or updated.
- You can safely delete any ToolSet##.dll you are not using (files ending in A are for AutoCAD, B = BricsCAD, I = IntelliCAD).
(1)AutoCAD 2010 introduced a problem preventing the .NET webbrowser control from printing.
