APIs
VBA and .NET are two widely-used APIs for developers to extend the functionalities of their CAD programs. In this version, ZWCAD 2017 provides approximately 92% of the VBA APIs that the mainstream CAD application offers, and covers almost all the .NET APIs that are frequently used by CAD users. So basically most applications can be easily ported to ZWCAD.
