ActCAD Software Reviews

I got the BIM version and it works very well. I miss some functions in BIM but 2d and 3d is very complete and works fine.

You can choose among three different versions.
Very similar to AutoCad but with permanent license and at a fraction of its price.
Good quality tool. High standard. Many improvements.
Yo can change the license among different computers of you own.

No so world known.
Not many tutorials (YouTube and other platforms).

Very happy with the program.
Easy to use as a replacement of the other dwg based programs.
If you have no experience at all, you have a lot to learn
I have CAD experience since 1984.

Total replacement for my previous cad program.
Very good user interface.
Sharp lines because of raytracing.
Import of .pdf files as background also totally scalable.
Low price and frequent updates.

After my previous Cad program i had to get used to the extensive user interface.

I looked at several CAD options before leaving my present employment, where the company has used Bentley Products at least for the past 30 years. This program is the only program that I could take my present knowledge base (not that great), and immediately be productive, at least at a level that suits my needs. The Cost of the product is extremely reasonable, and does not require an annual contract. Thanks ActCad!

ActCad is very intuitive, and the platform is very stable. It performs 100% of the tasks I require of it. Albeit, not always at first, and that's a function of this end user, not the program. I am a retired Civil/Structural Bridge Engineer, and I am not and never have been an accomplished CAD user. I have used others for that function, yet in to my retirement, loosing the proprietary software my firm used, this product does what I need it to for the projects that I need CAD assistance on.

Sometimes settings don't hold from one session to another (mainly screen settings), but I can easily attribute this to my expectations, and possibly inability to fully understand the program.

Overall my experience with ActCad is really good..... I can give 5 stars...
Customer support is just a phone call away and they will resolve what ever the problem is with the software.

1.Really a good and affordable alternative to Any standard CAD softwares.
2. Almost all the features are same as Any standard CAD softwares.
3. After sales Support is really good.

1.Small Glitches needs to be resolved.
2. Need to fix crashing issue.

Best software for this price. Other software will be higher priced.
Lifetime software, no need for yearly renewal.

Permanent lifetime software, no need yearly renewal.
Best CAD software in this budget.
Create and edit this software for auto CAD files.
We can draw all types of drawings

Normal working speed in windows 7 operating software.

An excellent alternative for Autocad. Very easy to transfer previous customisations from Autocad. A very affordable solution.

Full compatibility with Autocad, Low price, Perpetual Licence, low price to upgrade to the next version.
Easy to customise menus and toolbars and bring in previous Autocad customisation.
Autolisp works fine with Actcad. Very few changes required in old code containing the "Command Dim".

Not possible to plot with Print Styles and Transparency at the same time.
Bypass this problem by setting variable PLOTTRANSPARENCYOVERRIDE=2 and choosing Plot with Print Styles.
Print preview quality needs improvement.
No Visual Basic for Applications.

After 20 years of professional experience I can say that it is the best 2D CAD solution for small teams.

Easy to use (like an aged AutoCAD) , good floating license management, and with an incomparable quality / price ratio.

Management of texts, attributes, blocks and hatches to be improved.

Best software next to AutoCAD.
My requirement is survived.
Rendering has to improved in architecture.

Two dimensional detailing is perfect.
Price is better than AutoCAD.
Steel detailing is best.
Rendering is ok.

BIM modelling should be improved.
Who is doing AutoCAD. Will take time to adjust.

It is a cheap alternative for main stream cad software with a similar interface.
Has a one time purchase so you have it for lifetime and don't need an active subscription.

Has free trial.
Fair pricing plans.
Well laid out panels for buttons for features/tools.
Highly optimised so works great even on older computers.

The interface is a bit old school.
Less frequent updates and fixes.
