General
4 questions
01 What exactly does GhofleCad do?
GhofleCad is a specialized software solution that protects AutoCAD DXF files. It locks your design files so that no one can edit, explode, or reverse-engineer them. It also embeds a non-removable watermark that preserves your ownership permanently.
02 Who uses GhofleCad?
Architects, civil and structural engineers, MEP consultants, design studios, government contractors, and educational institutions — anyone who owns valuable design files and needs to protect them.
03 How is GhofleCad different from other similar tools?
GhofleCad is the first and only solution that combines two capabilities in one product: (1) a non-removable, non-editable watermark, and (2) complete locking against EXPLODE and reverse-engineering. This combination does not exist in any other product on the market.
04 Do I need AutoCAD installed to use GhofleCad?
No — AutoCAD is not required to lock the file. However, to view a locked file, the end user needs AutoCAD or any DXF-compatible software.
Technical
7 questions
05 Which file formats are supported?
GhofleCad specializes in DXF files — the universal AutoCAD data exchange format. Other CAD formats will be added in future releases.
06 Are DWG files supported too?
Currently our focus is on DXF. If you have a DWG file, first convert it to DXF (in AutoCAD: Save As → DXF), then lock it.
07 Can the watermark be removed?
No — under no circumstances. The watermark is embedded directly into the file structure and cannot be removed, cropped, or edited. It remains even when opened in other CAD software.
08 Can a user EXPLODE a locked file?
No. The EXPLODE command is disabled in locked files. Any attempt to reverse-engineer or extract drawing components will fail.
09 Is a locked file still viewable?
Yes. A locked file is fully viewable, printable, and reviewable — but no one can edit or modify it. This is precisely the concept of "visible but untouchable."
10 Does my original file get modified?
No. Your original file stays untouched. GhofleCad creates a separate locked version that you can deliver to clients or contractors.
11 Is it compatible with different AutoCAD versions?
Yes. Locked files work with all AutoCAD versions (2000 through 2026) and DXF-compatible software such as BricsCAD, ZWCAD, and DraftSight.

Security & Ownership
4 questions
21 Are my files stored on your servers?
No. GhofleCad runs entirely on your own computer. Your files never leave your system and we have zero access to them. You lock your files yourself in a few simple clicks.
22 Is my financial and personal information safe?
Yes. All communications are protected with 256-bit encryption. Your payment information is processed securely as well.
23 Can I test a sample before purchasing?
Yes. Contact us to request a demo so you can evaluate the protection quality before buying.
24 If I lose my locked file, can I get a new one?
Yes. Since GhofleCad runs on your own computer, simply lock the original file again with your license.
