What is IJCAD STD?

IJCAD STD is the mid-tier 2D general-purpose CAD software in the IJCAD lineup. As a highly compatible affordable AutoCAD alternative with LISP support, it is specifically designed for engineers who previously customized AutoCAD (including LT and legacy R versions) and need a robust 2D drafting tool.

IJCAD STD includes every feature found in the entry-level (LT) tier, plus essential customization capabilities and advanced API access. The primary difference between STD and the higher-tier PRO version is 3D functionality; if you do not use 3D features at all, IJCAD STD provides everything you need.

IJCAD STD Pricing (Latest Subscription Model)

To provide more flexible updates, IJCAD discontinued the sale of "perpetual licenses" in 2024 and transitioned entirely to a subscription (term license) model.

Below is the pricing for the latest term licenses (as of the 2026 version). Positioned directly in the middle of the lineup, IJCAD STD offers a perfect balance of advanced features and cost-effectiveness on a flexible annual contract.

Plan	Single (1-Year)	Multi	USB (New)	Network
IJCAD LT	33,000 JPY	49,500 JPY	59,400 JPY	57,200 JPY
IJCAD STD	39,600 JPY	59,400 JPY	69,300 JPY	69,300 JPY
IJCAD PRO	49,500 JPY	74,800 JPY	81,400 JPY	88,000 JPY

• Prices include tax.
• USB versions have a separate renewal price from the second year onward.
• Multi and Network versions require a minimum purchase of 5 licenses.

What You Can and Cannot Do with IJCAD STD

2D Drafting and Editing Features

IJCAD STD offers almost all the foundational 2D drafting and editing tools available across the IJCAD ecosystem. If you only need basic drawing tools, there is almost no functional difference between LT, STD, and PRO.

However, compared to PRO, IJCAD STD cannot define and create stretchable dynamic blocks. While STD users can seamlessly insert and edit existing dynamic blocks (and use standard block editors) within a drawing, building complex dynamic block libraries from scratch requires the PRO version.

Printing Features

When it comes to plotting and printing, there are no feature restrictions or differences between IJCAD PRO and STD. You can configure print styles, set up page layouts, and execute continuous batch printing effortlessly.

3D Features

Missing 3D editing tools is the main trade-off when choosing IJCAD STD to save costs. IJCAD STD does not include features to edit 3D solids natively.

You can, however, view existing 3D solid data. Compared to the LT version, the only additional 3D feature in STD is the "Live Section" tool. If modifying 3D solids is essential to your workflow, upgrading to IJCAD PRO is necessary.

Customization

If your team relies on automation, rewriting scripts is a dealbreaker. This is where IJCAD STD truly shines. It allows you to run advanced customizations without rewriting your code. You can execute:

• AutoLISP & DCL
• VisualLISP functions
• ObjectARX / xRX
• VBA and .NET
• Macros and CUI customization

If you have a history of heavy AutoCAD customization, upgrading to IJCAD STD is highly recommended to maintain your workflow without paying for PRO.

Importing and Exporting Global Standard Formats

Handling files from external clients often leads to version errors or missing data. IJCAD STD ensures you do not need multiple software packages to open different file types. It natively reads and writes industry-standard DWG and DXF formats flawlessly, allowing you to edit and save diverse engineering formats securely within a single application.

PLUS Tools and Extension Tools

IJCAD STD includes proprietary "PLUS Tools" designed to speed up daily drafting tasks. These extensions provide advanced commands that augment basic drafting, including PDF-to-DWG import capabilities (to fix missing vector data) and automated Drawing/Shape Compare tools to instantly catch unauthorized changes between revisions.

Who Should Choose IJCAD STD?

IJCAD STD is the ultimate middle-ground choice for professionals. It balances the affordability of the restricted LT version with the high performance of the premium PRO tier.

While the core drafting experience mirrors IJCAD LT, selecting STD grants you critical access to deep customization (LISP/API) and the proprietary PLUS tools. If your workflows demand automation but completely bypass 3D editing and dynamic block creation, IJCAD STD offers everything you need at a fraction of the cost of enterprise CAD.

IJCAD offers a 14-day free trial, so we highly recommend downloading the STD version to test your specific scripts and DWG files today.
