CAD that already knows your business.
WebCad is a browser-native CAD and simulation engine. We build custom plugins on top of it — loaded with your products, your dimensions and the rules your team works under. Your people open a tab and get a tool that already understands the job.
Your equipment · Your rules · Your drawings · No installs
Not a template.
Your way of working, built in.
Off-the-shelf CAD hands everyone the same blank canvas and leaves the hard part to you. A WebCad plugin starts with your equipment already modelled and your limits already enforced.
Your equipment, already drawn
Tractors, trailers, machines, racking, fixtures, fittings. We draw your actual product line to the manufacturer's dimensions, so your team picks from a list instead of starting from a blank screen. Every part already knows its own weight, clearance and mounting points.
Your rules, checked as you go
Legal limits, clearances, load ratings, code minimums, your own in-house standards. The tool checks itself as the job is put together and flags a problem the moment it appears, not after the drawing has gone out the door.
Your outputs, one click
Dimensioned drawings, permit packages, spec sheets, bills of material, STEP files. Laid out the way your customer, your shop or your regulator expects to receive them, with your title block on the page.
Your team, no training
It runs in a browser tab and exposes only the decisions that matter. Dispatchers, estimators, shop leads and salespeople use it on day one without a CAD background or an IT ticket.
From first call to a working
tool in three weeks.
One week to work out what you need, one to load in your equipment, one to build in your rules. You check it against real jobs the whole way through.
Three weeks assumes a normal-sized equipment list. A very big one, or specs that only exist on paper, adds time — we tell you which on the first call.
Heavy-haul truck & trailer plugin
Built for carriers and heavy-haul teams moving oversize loads. Pick the equipment, set the load on the deck, and get a dimensioned configuration and a permit answer in seconds.
A dispatcher picks a tractor, a trailer and any jeeps or boosters from a catalog of real equipment. Every unit already carries its bumper-to-back-of-cab, wheelbase, axle spacing, deck height and tare weight, sourced from manufacturer specifications rather than typed in from memory.
The plugin assembles the configuration, computes overall length, width, height and per-group axle loading, then checks the result against provincial legal limits. It tells you exactly which thresholds you crossed and by how much, before the load is booked.
What used to be a spreadsheet, a tape measure and a phone call to the permit office is now a dropdown and an export button.
- 01Pick from your real fleetTractors, trailers and jeep/booster dollies drawn to the manufacturer's dimensions. Choose from a list instead of starting from scratch.
- 02Dimensioned drawings, automaticallySide and plan views with overall length, height, width and axle spacing dimensioned and ready to attach to an application.
- 03Permit thresholds flagged liveChecked against the provincial ruleset as the configuration changes. You see the violation while you can still change the trailer.
- 04Weight per axle groupSteer, drive, jeep and trailer loading calculated so overweight problems surface at quoting, not at the scale.
- 05Export what you actually needPDF drawing set for the permit office, STEP for the shop, and a saved configuration your team can reload next time.
Warehouse & industrial layout plugin
Same engine, different industry. This is a worked example of what we would build for a material-handling integrator or a plant engineering group. It is an illustration of the approach, not something you can log into today.
The user drags racking, conveyor, work cells and machinery onto a floorplan. The plugin holds the rules in the background: aisle width for the forklift class in use, fire-lane separation, dock approach depth, and the service envelope every machine needs around it.
Move a rack and the clearances re-check themselves. Pallet positions, usable floor area and capacity update as the layout changes, so two options can be compared in the same session instead of two site visits.
- 01Equipment you actually stockRacking, conveyor, mezzanine and machinery drawn from your own range and footprints.
- 02Clearances that enforce themselvesAisle widths, fire lanes, dock approach and service access checked continuously as the layout moves.
- 03Capacity in the same viewPallet count, square metres and throughput assumptions recalculated live while you rearrange.
- 04A drawing set at the endFloorplan, equipment schedule and capacity summary, exported without leaving the browser.
If your team draws the same
thing over and over, we can build it.
The pattern is always the same: a fixed range of products, a set of rules nobody can afford to get wrong, and a drawing standing between a question and an answer.
Heavy haul & oversize transport
Equipment configuration, permit thresholds, route dimensions.
Metal fabrication & weldments
Standard assemblies, cut lists and a quotable drawing straight off a spec call.
Material handling
Racking, conveyor and plant layouts with clearance rules built in.
Modular & prefab construction
Panel and module configurators tied to your own component library.
Agricultural & off-road equipment
Implement fitment, attachment points, ballast and clearance checks.
Signage, millwork & display
Made-to-size units, shop drawings and installation details straight from an order form.
Tell us what you'd build.
Describe the workflow and we come back with scope, timeline and a price. If it isn't a fit, we'll say so on the first call instead of selling you a licence.
Request sent.
We'll read it properly and come back within one business day with either questions or a scope.
Prefer email? Write to antonio@webcad.ca and attach whatever you have.
Your industry already
has a workflow.
We build the CAD environment around it, instead of asking your team to learn someone else's. Browser-based, your equipment, your rules.
