Fill in the wizard: ASNCAD lays out the well, runs the EN 81-20 checks clause by clause, and produces the DXF and DWG drawings, the calculation report and the PDF project file you submit for approval. The engineer decides — the product makes every dimension and its reasoning visible.
Product
Input is entered once; the well layout, calculations, drawings and documents are all produced from the same source. The same dimension never comes out differently in two documents.
The layout of the well, car, doors, guide rails, counterweight and machine room is solved from the inputs. The solver also works in reverse: what well does this capacity need? The full project sheet brings all views onto one page; every section downloads on an ISO sheet with its title block.
A solid model is built from the same input; the car, counterweight and ram are moved through the full travel, and assembly clashes and EN 81-20 refuge spaces are checked. Two parts that clash in the well show up on screen, not on site.
For presentation only; drawings and the calculation report govern manufacturing.
Cover, table of contents, all sheets and the check summary in a single PDF. It opens inside the application; when a version is frozen it is filed in the technical file with your company’s title block.
Suspension, traction, guide rail, buffer, suspension beam, hydraulic, traffic and building population calculations; seismic (EN 81-77) and electrical installation. The report downloads as Word or prints to PDF from a printable page; it also states what it did not check.
Object snap, polar and object tracking, dynamic input; distance, angle, area and coordinate measurement; move, copy, rotate, scale, mirror. And a command line at your fingertips.
On small screens the panels become drawers and the drawing stays full-screen. Drawings and check results are one tap away on site too.
Car design studio
Start from a ready-made design and change every surface one by one. The car is shown at its real size — from the landing through the open doors, or from inside. Choices are saved with the project; the mass of the finishes is reported in kilograms.
The pre-check is not a declaration of conformity; the engineer decides against the text of the standard.
Engineering checks
ASNCAD does not just draw; it tells you, clause by clause, whether what it drew meets the standard. Every EN 81 clause referenced in the code is recorded in a register; an unregistered reference fails the tests.
Refuge space on the car roof, the balustrade and clearances above equipment; including the end-position allowance per Table 2.
Refuge space in the pit and clearance under the car; reports which posture of Table 4 fits, to be written on the drawing.
Is the buffer type right for the speed, is the stroke enough? At least 65 mm for spring buffers, full compression at 90 % of the installed height.
Suspension rope diameter at least 8 mm and sheave-to-rope ratio at least 40 — these checks stay silent for direct-acting hydraulic lifts.
Car narrow side at least 1.20 m, area at least 1.80 m², clear door width at least 0.90 m; a stretcher lift from 10 storeys up.
Design acceleration, seismic category and category-dependent measures; guide rail and counterweight checks. The verification status is printed in the report.
If the calculation cannot reach a verdict, the version is not frozen. A drawing produced from incomplete input is not a document to sign.
How it works
Leave an application with your company details. Applications are reviewed by hand; once approved, your company’s administrator account is opened and you add your engineers yourself.
Ten steps: lift type and drive, well, doors, guide rails, drive equipment, buffers, floors, building and traffic, car design, project details. Every derived dimension can also be entered by hand; the screen shows what it changes.
Calculations and drawings are re-run on the server. If nothing blocks it, a numbered revision is opened; the drawings, the PDF project file, the value schedule and the calculation report are filed in the technical file.
Records and trust
A frozen version stores the complete input, the calculation version and the catalogue fingerprint; the difference between two versions is shown on screen.
Permits, contracts, certificates and generated outputs sit under the project; each document with who added it, when, and to which revision.
Administrator, engineer and reader roles. Projects belong to the company; when a user leaves, the files stay.
Each company’s data sits in its own area. Passwords are stored irreversibly; a deactivated user’s access ends immediately.
Licence
The number of seats, the licence period and storage are set according to the size of your company when your application is reviewed. They can be increased later; a deactivated user frees their seat, but the projects they produced remain.
Based on the number of concurrent users (seats). You state how many users you need in the application; seats and period are set together on approval.
For enterprise terms, multi-office use or training, just write it in the note field of the application form.

No. ASNCAD runs in the browser and shows the drawing on its own canvas. You can download the sheets as DXF or DWG, open them in your own CAD program and keep working on them.
DWG is produced in AutoCAD 2013 format; AutoCAD and ZWCAD open it directly. Its content is identical to the DXF output: the same layers, the same colours, the same text.
DXF R12, written with the Turkish code page (ANSI 1254) and with the font table defined inside the file. Layer names, layer colours and object colours are preserved.
A cover (project details and lift summary), a table of contents, all sheets and the check summary. It opens inside the application and downloads from there; when a version is frozen it is filed in the technical file with your company’s title block.
Yes. The interface switches between English and Turkish from the user menu or the sign-in screen; English is in beta and parts of the interface are still being translated. Drawings, the calculation report and the PDF project file are currently produced in Turkish; English documents are on the way.
Yes. On small screens the wizard and the right-hand panel become drawers and the drawing stays full-screen; on touch screens buttons are sized for fingers. Long drawing sessions are still more comfortable on a large screen.
No. The 3D model is in BETA: it is for presentation and clash checking. Drawings and the calculation report govern manufacturing.
Projects, documents and revisions are kept in an area that belongs to your company; one company’s data is never visible to another. Passwords are stored as irreversible hashes; sessions are held on the server, and a deactivated user’s access ends at once.
Applications are reviewed by hand, and you receive a tracking link with your application number; you can check the status there at any time. If the result is negative, the reason is shown on the same page.
Outputs are produced as part of your technical file: the input, the calculation version and the catalogue they were produced with are recorded. Signature and responsibility lie with the engineer running the project; ASNCAD makes the calculation and its reasoning visible, it does not replace them.
Leave an application in a few minutes; once approved, your administrator account is ready and you add your team yourself.
