Getting started with
Understand the browser workspace, project structure, and a practical first modeling workflow.
zCAD. Online is a browser-based mechanical CAD workspace for creating and managing editable engineering models.
Before you begin
Use a current desktop browser and a stable internet connection. Sign in with the account your team uses for product work, then open an existing project or create a project for the design you want to develop.
Confirm that you have access to the required project.
Keep the source dimensions, requirements, or reference files available.
Choose a representative part before moving to a large assembly.
A practical first workflow
Create or import a model, define the controlling dimensions and constraints, build the required features, and review the resulting geometry. Save the work in the cloud project so the current model remains available to permitted collaborators.
