MOSU CAD · Engineering Drawing Translation
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Common questions regarding CAD versions, languages, credits, and drawing security.
Which CAD versions are supported?▾
Supports AutoCAD 2018–2027, ZWCAD 2024–2026, and GstarCAD 2025–2027 on Windows 64-bit. See the Compatibility Guide for verified versions and test coverage.
Are ZWCAD and GstarCAD supported?▾
Yes. Starting with v2.0.0, 64-bit ZWCAD 2024–2026 and GstarCAD 2025–2027 on Windows are supported by the unified installer.
Which languages can I choose to translate?▾
The plugin offers multiple target-language options and can detect the source language automatically. Translation quality, fonts, and layout can vary by drawing, so review important results before delivery.
How do I purchase credits?▾
Credits can be purchased inside the plugin. The website does not provide direct ordering.
What are the limits of PDF to CAD?▾
PDF Import brings PDF pages into CAD. Scanned images and outlined text do not automatically become editable text; imported results need to be checked and may require manual cleanup.
Can MOSU read Tianzheng text and stroke text?▾
Stroke-text recognition is not included in the current public package. The supported scope for Tianzheng text will be stated in a future release notice.
Will drawings with a lot of text cost many credits?▾
Each quote is billed separately and identical source text counts once. The first 3,000 valid characters cost 1 credit per 100; characters 3,001–20,000 cost 1 per 1,000; characters above 20,000 cost 1 per 5,000. Each tier rounds up separately. Credits are reserved at submission, then settled against text actually written back; unused credits are refunded.
Will failed translations deduct credits?▾
Confirmed failed jobs are not charged. If settlement is pending review, retain the job ID and check the job and ledger before retrying.
Can translated text be edited directly?▾
Yes. Once written back into the original positions, the text remains fully native CAD text and can be edited directly.
How many computers can one account use?▾
Accounts can be logged into different computers, and credits stay with your account. See the account instructions for simultaneous login rules.
What drawing content is transmitted to the server?▾
Cloud translation sends the text you select and necessary task information to MOSU servers and translation providers over HTTPS. The full DWG file is not uploaded. Text may contain sensitive project information; please confirm your project rules allow this processing. See Security Architecture for details.
Is manual review still needed after translation?▾
For engineering drawings, we recommend spot-checking technical terminology, material grades, dimensions, and units before final release.
