"Effortless Layout Design, Minor Saving Glitches"
5/5
What do you like best about SmartDraw?

I really enjoy the ease of use of SmartDraw; it's fantastic. It saves time and helps provide a very useful diagram to our stores, contractors or to architects. The initial setup was actually really easy, and working with the team was great—they were very hands-on and helpful throughout the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmartDraw?

There's a little bit of confusion with saving features like the sizes of assets. It's kind of buggy, where it doesn't always translate well. The saving process is confusing, and I've accidentally saved over files, but the smartdraw team was eager to help and once i got past the learning curve, it's been very smooth.

"Effortless Customization, Needs Precision Enhancement"
4/5
What do you like best about SmartDraw?

I like how with SmartDraw I can simply place custom components like doors, windows, and stairs easily, which has been really convenient compared to scripting in LibreCAD. The initial setup of SmartDraw was easy, making it simple to get started quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmartDraw?

Placement is not exact - I need more control to adjust everything more precisely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Essential Tool for Effortless Blueprint Creation"
5/5
What do you like best about SmartDraw?

I had a positive experience with SmartDraw because it was easy to use and provided all the tools I needed to create the blueprints I needed. I also found that SmartDraw allowed me to quickly generate the prints for my project, saving me a significant amount of money I would have had to pay otherwise by hiring someone else. I strongly recommend SmartDraw because it provides all the necessary tools to do the job and the initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cost-Effective Floor Plan Tool, Easy Setup"
3/5
What do you like best about SmartDraw?

I like that SmartDraw is priced, honestly. AutoCAD is hundreds/thousands of dollars, and SmartDraw is a fraction of that price while fulfilling my need. It is easy to learn, and it's pretty straightforward to use. I also find the dimension aspect really easy to use and functional, and having the preloaded doors and windows is really nice. The initial setup was super easy; I just had to put my details in, and it started working right away. The free version available for seven days was super helpful in letting me know this is something I need for my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmartDraw?

Sometimes the walls don't snap at the exact point that I would like. It seems to want to attach at certain previously dedicated spots around the exterior walls. So sometimes that is frustrating for me. But it could also just be a user error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive Design, High User Satisfaction"
5/5
What do you like best about SmartDraw?

I appreciate SmartDraw for its simplicity, making it a lot less complicated than other software for drawing plans. It allows us to invite all the users in my company to collaborate on the same platform, which is super convenient for seeing updates and downloading files in one spot. The catalog of already designed items is really valuable to us, and it provides significant value to our homeowners by showing them what their project will look like before we even start. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy, which was a bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmartDraw?

There are certain parts of the program that do not work if something else isn't enabled, and sometimes that seems buggy. It's not obvious what is blocking the feature from being enabled. If SmartDraw would reveal the part that is blocking the feature from working, it would be easier to know where to go and fix it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
