Carlson Acquires AutoCAD Add-on Utilities Developer DotSoft

MAYSVILLE, KY, USA, Jan 15, 2024 – Carlson Software announces the purchase of all assets of DotSoft, which include numerous CAD-related products such as ToolPac, LidarTools, MapWorks, RevitOffice+, PDF2DWG and many more.  Terry Dotson, the author of all DotSoft products, was a fully self-taught programming expert who developed hundreds of utility programs to make the work of surveyors, engineers, mapping technicians and CAD operators in general more productive. His programs have functioned as add-ons to AutoCAD, IntelliCAD and BricsCAD. Terry had worked directly for Carlson for over a decade, bringing his products to the company, before returning to private business. Terry passed away very recently, and the Dotson family and Carlson Software have concluded a purchase on favorable terms for both parties, recognizing Terry’s contributions to the CAD marketplace and to Carlson Software itself over the years.

Carlson Software pledges to carry forward Terry’s work by remaining responsive to DotSoft customers, providing tech support service and by improving on the software itself.  We will follow up in the coming weeks with further announcements, and any immediate inquiries concerning DotSoft may be directed to dotsoft@carlsonsw.com.
