What Is New in CivilCAD 11.1 from Sivan Design?

Updated

CivilCAD 11.1 is the latest release of Sivan Design's civil engineering CAD product, presented on the company's home page as "the new Civil CAD." If you already use CivilCAD or are evaluating civil CAD tools, the site points you to two ways to learn what changed: a "what's new" page and an overview video. The home page does not list the individual new features itself, so the specific changes are only available through those linked resources.

What the home page confirms about CivilCAD 11.1

Based on the Sivan Design home page, the following points are stated directly:

  • CivilCAD 11.1 is described as "The new Civil CAD."
  • There is a dedicated link labeled "To see what's new in CivilCAD 11.1 – Click here."
  • There is a separate overview video: "watch the CivilCAD 11.1 Overview here."
  • A 30-day trial is offered: "Try CivilCAD 11.1 Full Package for 30 days here."

That is the full extent of the version-specific information on the home page. Feature-level details, system requirements, and pricing are not included there.

How CivilCAD 11.1 fits into Sivan Design's product line

Sivan Design was incorporated in 1996 and positions itself as a provider of national land projects, GIS solutions integrated with ERP capabilities, 3D GIS applications, and civil engineering CAD products. CivilCAD sits in the CAD portion of that portfolio, alongside the company's geospatial offerings.

The home page groups its offerings into three areas:

Area What the site says
Comprehensive GIS and CAD products Software for spatial information projects
Professional services Support for implementing GIS projects
Turnkey geospatial solutions Tailor-made, end-to-end geospatial solutions

CivilCAD 11.1 belongs to the first category. The site also mentions maintenance and support services tied to "Team, Technology & Knowledge Maintenance Support Service," which is relevant if you are assessing long-term use rather than a one-off install.

How to find out what actually changed

Because the home page only links out, use these steps:

  1. Open sivandesign.com and locate the CivilCAD 11.1 block near the top.
  2. Select the "what's new in CivilCAD 11.1" link to see the change list.
  3. Alternatively, watch the CivilCAD 11.1 Overview video for a walkthrough of the release.
  4. If you want to test it yourself, follow the 30-day full package trial link.

Expected result: you get either a written changelog or a visual overview, depending on which entry point you choose. The trial lets you verify behavior in your own workflows rather than relying on the summary.

Common sticking points

  • The home page does not state pricing, licensing terms, or system requirements. Do not assume the trial or the product is free beyond the stated 30-day period.
  • The "what's new" content lives behind a link, so a quick scan of the home page alone will not tell you the feature differences between versions.
  • If you need to compare CivilCAD 11.1 against a previous version, the overview video and changelog are the only version-specific sources referenced on the home page.

Who this is for

This release is relevant if you work on civil engineering or spatial information projects and want to know whether upgrading or trialing CivilCAD 11.1 is worth the effort. Start with the overview video if you want a fast orientation, or the "what's new" page if you need specifics before deciding.
