    Preferable CAD Software

    Date: Dec 24 2019
    Summary

    performance and price is best. For an example "Hatch" and "Render" command. Best price to comparing with familiar CAD Software.
    Now a days, I am feel free from patch copy of familiar CAD Software. I am an lisp programmer. Now slightly modified my own lisp program for ActCAD.
    Artisan is the excellent in-built software for my 3D view photo output. No needed to special training.
    Quick reply / solution from Technical support team, when I faced disappearing "DDLModes" dialog box.
    I strongly referred lot of my Engineer friends to escape from patch software.

    Positive

    ActCAD file converter
    Text styles
    2D&3D PDF Export
    Break Line Command
    Easy to learn and use
    Most Economical Software

    Negative

    In my judgment, It is 90% similar to familiar CAD software.
    When I recommended to my friend, he asked me this software is legal or illegal? then I showed him my Software License Certificate.
    Finally we understand that, It is similarity for user friendly.
