As of know to the extent I have used this tool I do Not found any cons of using this tool.As it is very cost effective as compared to the functions it provide.In my opinion it is best software . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is really an economical save. Going to the Indian Economy has been a blessing in disguise. I appreciate the multifacets of options. The use of Explorer Tabs really makes a difference to program a schedule. The render options are quick and rational. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't found the adaptation tools to be easy to follow. Lisp is the only track I can improve upon at the time junction. There are some drawing safety upends that might be compromised. There is not really a clear response to QA status quo, although the team does respond to true hierarchical problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Autocad BIM is used to create the building information before building is constructed so that we have the cost and time schedule. This also help to have a proper schedule of construction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ActCAD is a beginners' program in my mind. I do not blame them, but they do not have a lot of advanced features, so eventually one has to transition to AutoCAD or Solidworks or the like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The transition from AutoCAD to ActCAD went smoothly. The help I requested for the installation on my PC running Windows 10 was quickly accomplished despite my not-so-good English skills. A main reason for the switch was the desire for a cost-effective CAD system that could help edit current AutoCAD files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are missing manuals and quick guides in German. Then ActCAD would be perfect. Also, the translation of menus and function names into German is still incomplete in many places. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Autocad fabrication is the best thing.

In this the fittings of duct or pipe are all according to market availability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Autocad has less flexibility for various commands like in alignment, we have to select the two points to align any elements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
