ActCAD 2020 Professional

"Birth of the Star"

Kommentare: It offers everything that is much more expensive competition. Working with drawings is efficient thanks to additional applications or proprietary commands. In order to convince the crew to work for themselves in this program.

Vorteile: It is an excellent price-quality ratio. The most modern solutions, quick support, quick updates. this is something to pay attention to. It's something that you need every day at work and in business.

Nachteile: Typo translation, it bothers me. Such a good product should take care of details. This applies to all interface languages except English.

"The best Cad for the money"

Vorteile: I like just about everything about it. It is the closest that come to AutoCad that I have ever seen for a whale of a lot less money.

Nachteile: Well, like the other cad it is very comprehensive and complex. It has a huge array of features, many that I will never use frankly. But it is nice to know that the features are there in case I will need them in the future.

"Actcad 2018 Professional"

Kommentare: Moving licenses to other stations is a great idea, and very helpful, when it works.
When I bought several licenses, sales pitch said version would always be supported. Not true. 2018 Pro version doesn't update any more. Must purchase upgrade each year. They are taking customer annoyance lessons from Autocad. That said, I would buy it again. It works well. Far better than any other non-Autodesk product. I've tried most of them. Most are too buggy. ActCad is a winner.

Vorteile: Excellent product for price when compared to competition. It takes several requests, but they actually do eventually fix obvious flaws.

Nachteile: Licenses often stick and can't be released to move to another station. Takes a few days, and multiple emails to convince them to release it. Unable to connect to server M1 is usual error message. Very annoying. Printing actual screen is a challenge. Often it scales objects differently when you print what looks great on screen.

"Best Competitive 2D CAD Software"

Kommentare: I have been using this software for few months for now & having very good experience overall. Mainly I have work in customized block library which I got here & that too without any extra expenses. Also it is a light weight software so can be used on my simple Desktop PC also.

Vorteile: - Plug & play if you have already used other 2D CAD softwares.
- Vast Library for blocks.
- Ease of use & user friendly
- Can easily switch the license to other workstations without technical support.

Nachteile: - Sometimes tend to slow down.
- Initially New commands were hard to find because there are many of them.

"ActCAD Compatibility"

Kommentare: I commented above about slowness in opening large 3D projects, crashes, problems with paperspace viewports and conceptual rendering of views.

Vorteile: It is set up very much like AutoCAD which has been my primary software.

Nachteile: I found that it is very slow in opening previous large AutoCAD 3D projects and recently it crashed in doing so. Also I had difficulty viewing drawings with conceptual views in paperspace viewports. It seemed awkward and not the same as I was used to.
