Customer Reviews

V16
The print function appears to be a bit buggy. If I go into my printer's setup software to adjust the print margins, the DesignCAD print command screen multiplies that margin by a factor of 10, thereby dividing my drawing into multiple panels and pages. This problem is manageable, though, as long as I stay aware of it.

Some ghost images of previous revisions will sometimes stay on the screen until I adjust the zoom factor or otherwise change the view.

All in all, it is inexpensive software, it works, and I am satisfied.

no tutorial
Product appears to be more than I need for my project list. It would be great if it had a quick tutorial for the non-initiated. This is going to be used for home use, but appears to be wonderful for a design shop

Worth the low cost
Pros:
This product has a rapid learning curve in a field where learning curves are steep and long. This product is a CAD program that does as it purports to do.

Cons:
The Movement of groups is cumbersome without the object moving with the cursor and I have found no way to automatically link objects.
