I am only a designer of equipment and factory layouts and do not use it very frequently. After a long gap of time, it takes some time to recapitulate the commands. It would be really very helpful if you come out tutorials to draw various shapes of objects using the commands of your software. > > I am a consultant in the field of Chemicals production and have to design different equipment, the complete plant, utilities equipment, plant layout. I am 80 and would like to publish drawings of the equipment based on my experience of nearly 58 years. The problems I face if I have to design equipment based on totally a new concept, particularly in 3D format so that the client has clear idea of the equipment. Now certain Statutory authorities insist on submitting layout drawings in 3D. I would like to learn more on drawing complicated objects in 3D. ----- ### "Good but\!" — 4.0/5 > **Levent** | *April 24, 2023* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: very similiar with Autocad. so its easy to use it. > > **Cons**: suddenly its closing. this is big problem. > > licanse transfercost savegood support ----- ### "Actcad needs... more stability" — 3.0/5 > **Leonidas** | *August 11, 2022* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Good for the price.i like that it's something like Autocad that I already know. > > **Cons**: The proggrame needs more stability. Makes lots of errors. ----- ### "Excellent drafting software. S/W has excellent drafting functionality and compatibility with other" — 4.0/5 > **Binit** | *August 12, 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: ActCAD is a 2D \& 3D CAD software with functionality of the industry leaders. > > **Cons**: Need to improve the features. We have sold one of Architect and they have so many problems and did not able to solve after taking the support. > > Good S/W with commercial affordable to suggest the client ----- ### "The best Cad for the money" — 5.0/5 > **ANDRE** | *February 13, 2020* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: 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.
