CAD Zone's crime scene drawing software for creating homicide, arson, and accident reconstruction diagrams.

Draw any accident scene quickly, easily and accurately.

Powerful, yet easy-to-use drawing software
for accident reconstruction and law-enforcement professionals.

Team up with the Crash Zone drawing software and quickly create accurate diagrams for accident reports - right from your laptop or desktop computer. Save valuable time and document every scene with precision and clarity. We developed the Crash Zone by consulting accident reconstructionists and law-enforcement professionals all over the world. The result is the simplest, most practical, most powerful tool of its kind on the market. Toss aside your pencil, eraser, and plastic templates. The Crash Zone is about to make a major impact on the way you work.

For 10 years The Crash Zone has been the drawing program of choice for Accident Reconstructionists who insist on functionality, precision, and ease of use. The new Crash Zone Version 8 has even more tools for crash investigators, including a vehicle specifications database, skid analysis and momentum calculations, and an easy-to-use 3D body poser! No special training is required! Free Technical Support!

"As a traffic officer I don't have much time to do diagrams. The CRASH ZONE gives me the results that I need - faster and more accurately than I can draw by hand." - Officer Kevin Stich, Beaverton, OR, PD.

Draw three to four times faster than by hand.

The Crash Zone not only enables you to draw faster, but also draw more accurately than ever before. Many common drawing tasks are already programmed into the software. What's more, you don't need any computer drawing experience. You'll be fully productive with the software in a very short time.

Draw everything to exact measurements based on the data you gather at the site. Import measurements from total station systems. Automatically scale your diagrams for printing or plotting on any size paper - create full color, large sized plots.

Easy Lines and Easy Streets.

Our Easy Lines toolbox lets you point and click to draw lines for buildings, parking lots, and more - all to precise measurements. And our Easy Streets feature allows you to quickly draw streets and intersections. Simply specify the number of lanes, lane width, and centerline data, then apply this data to any line, arc or curve to create a street. What's more, the Crash Zone is also an ideal partner for crime scene diagrams. The closer you investigate, the more you'll appreciate the many features and benefits of this dynamic software package. Whichever type of accident or crime scene you're re-creating, you can craft large, scaled plots in full color, sure to make a positive impact on any judge or jury.

Use the Easy Streets feature to draw any street or intersection automatically, then just drop symbols into position. Place vehicle symbols by locating points at their wheel centers, then stretch the symbol to exactly match the size of vehicles at the scene.

Fasten your seatbelt....

The Crash Zone is fast, accurate and affordable. Get set for a quick, smooth experience. No other software measures up to the Crash Zone. Its the ideal partner for any crash investigation. Take a look at just a few of the features offered:

Learning Center - The Learning Center is designed to help you get started drawing faster than ever before! With shortcuts to your drawings, the electronic User’s Manual, Training movies, and links to on-line technical support, the learning center will help you master the Diagram Program in no time!
AutoCAD 2000 Import/Export - Now imports AutoCAD R14 and 2000 files in .DWG and .DXF formats. DXF import has been improved to retain all layer information.
Print Tiling - Print tiling allows you to print out a drawing greater in size than on a single sheet of paper. If you don’t have a large size plotter, print tiling gives you the ability to print on multiple pieces of paper that can be taped together.
Calculator - Run the Windows Calculator program if you need to make a quick calculation.
File Run - Use the Run command if you want to start a program outside of the diagram program.
Easy Intersection - The Easy Intersection wizard allows you to create intersections by selecting options on a special toolbox to speed up the diagraming process.
Rotating Objects ( New Mouse Method ) - Now It's now possible to rotate objects in a diagram using just a mouse technique without selecting the Rotate command. Once the desired objects are selected, simply click and drag rotation control points to rotate the object to any angle!
Window Stretch - Use the Window Stretch command to quickly stretch objects to a new size or shape.
Skeleton body types - You can now place poseable skeletal bodies in your drawings.
Arrow Line - allows you to draw an arrow on the screen in any direction.
Cut-Out Box - Use the Cut Out Box command to ''cut out'' a section of a drawing by placing a box around it. Then use other commands to erase, copy, move, or edit the section that was cut out.
Right Toolbox and Help Pull-Down Menu - New links have been added to the Right Toolbox and the Help pull-down menu. You can now open up the Help Manual and Tutorials while in the program.
Laser Technology RAW files -The Diagram program now imports LTI RAW files directly from Laser Technology’s Quickmap program. Allows you to import the front (y,z), side (x,z), and top (x,y) views!
Image Export - Selecting the Export Image (VB) feature on the File Menu brings up a list of different file formats that can be exported from the program. Use this command to export a diagram in Bitmap (.BMP), Windows Metafile (.WMF), and JPEG (.JPG) files formats.
Windows Metafile (WMF) Import - Bitmap Import (BI) now imports windows metafiles (.WMF) also. Use this command to import .WMF files into a diagram. Once placed in a diagram these images can be viewed, printed, or moved.
The User Interface has been improved to be the most modern interface available on any drawing program. Better and easier to use than DynaCop, AutoCAD®, AutoSketch®, or Visio®!

Our latest version of the Crash Zone retains all of the features that you've come to rely on in the earlier software versions, but now they have been improved to be faster and better than ever! No conversion process is necessary, so there is nothing new to learn - just an easier and faster way to draw those all-important diagrams for your reports. Just check out these hot new improvements to your favorite tools!

New Version 8.0! New calculation tools make it easy to determine pre-impact and post-impact speeds from skid marks (even across different surfaces) and determine impact speeds with the new Momentum Calculator. Use the Vehicle Database to obtain exact specifications for weight and wheelbase values to use in the speed formulas. The new Body Poser lets you easily pose bodies in 3D! Click here to learn more!

Easy Vehicle Database! Now you can obtain vehicle specifications and a scaled outline for most vehicles by selecting them from an industry-standard database. The outline is drawn to exact specifications for length, width, center of mass, wheelbase, front and rear overhang. Easily stretch any of the detailed, 3D vehicle symbols to have the same size as the outline.
(Specifications are based on the Canadian Vehicle Specifications as published posted by the Canadian Assoc. of Road Safety Professionals, CARSP.)

More 3D! New tools make it painless to pose bodies exactly the way you want to see them in 3D Easily draw 3D surfaces and trajectories, place symbols on slopes and assign exact heights, generate profiles, even show evidence on walls and vertical surfaces!

Easy to Learn! Unique "Easy Tools" let you draw complex intersections, streets, and buildings with just a few clicks! More than 70 training movies show you exactly how to draw! Free phone Technical Support!

Training Widely Available! Training courses are available at colleges and institutes across North America, including The IPTM, Henry Lee Institute, Ontario Police College, Fox Valley College, UC Riverside, and many more.

Faster! Quickly enter measurements in the new Coordinate Data Entry table! Pre-drawn symbols and intersection templates make drawing faster than ever! Create your own symbols and templates too! 60+ line types - guard rails, fences, and more.

More Powerful! New features let you draw 3D surfaces and trajectories, place symbols on slopes and assign exact heights, generate profiles, show evidence on walls and vertical surfaces!

More Compatible! Import 3D Data from Sokkia, Nikon, Laser Technology, and from other laser devices. Import & export AutoCAD .dwg and .dxf files! Works with The Pocket Zone!

Better Than Ever! More 2D & 3D symbols and a new Symbol Manager lets you find them faster! Pose bodies, even in 3D! Easy Intersection Builder allows more lanes and variable lane widths! More custom line types! Draw 3D doors & windows!
