My 25th year anniversary with DataCad

|DataCAD
I started drawing by hand in 1967 with a sharp pencil, straight edge, compass, multiple angles, etc. From there I advanced to a drafting machine (faster but some accuracy lost in the nature of the mechanical arm). In 1983, I started my own home planning design firm and worked with the traditional tools until 1994, when I became aware of DataCad. I purchased DataCad 5 on 3 1/2" disks on 5/2/1994, for $149.95 and hired an employee to learn it at a work station next to my drawing board. I forced myself to learn the CAD drafting by teaching that employee, and there were many questions so I had to learn it well. Over the years I have watched the AutoCad/Autodesk crowd become slaves to their software to such an extent that I have occasionally wondered who is working for whom.

Ease of use and speed, being as fast as you can be, on the keyboard! It has all the tools needed in order to realize professional construction documents. Simple and small files for visualization. Lifetime licensing system - I HATE the subscription system

I was one of the last Architect's in my area to shift to CAD. The old dog new tricks thing. I had tried AutoCAD and spent a lot of money on it only to get frustrated and give up. I tried DataCAD and could not believe how intuitive and easy it was to use. I was hooked instantly and have been honing my CAD skills ever since. DataCAD is an awesome program.
