Start slow, work on simple projects first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

3d design for both functional and decorative parts (education) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recently they offer a anual subscription that seem to me more expensive, that could not be accesible for beginners who wants to use it on DIY projects like 3D printing or modeling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DIY projects of PC modding to see what components can fit and how is going to look like. I use to plan how a custom water cooling system could be inside the PC and 3D printing using community shapes from forums and searching on the web. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fusion is still a work in progress and they continue to add new features every week. It's hard to keep up with all the advances but they are definitely welcomed! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am able to create complex models for manufacture in a short amount of time. I can design simple parts and machine them in a matter of minutes. I can also quickly iterate and create visual renderings to share with clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AutoCad LT does not handle the creation and storage of "Blocks" in a way that is compatible with our document management system. This is a major pain in the backside since a lot of the designs I create use the same basic elements in each drawing. Being able to create a library of Blocks and track them thru our document management system would be a major time saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AutoCad LT is an excellent tool if you don't need 3-D modeling - it more than adequately meets the needs of users whose drawings only need to be two dimensional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We need to create a number of simple drawings to document the systems we use at our technical operations center. The people who create these documents range from highly skilled systems engineers to maintenance technicians. AutoCad LT presents a feature set that covers our needs without requiring extensive training on features we don't use. This has helped motivate people to create the documentation we need.

This helped me. I have no reasons to dislike the software, probably not now neither would it be ever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You too should switch to this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to use, the software supports more formats, and CAD drawings look more convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am not overly familiar with BricsCAD, however, some of the tings I dislike is that you can't print off/export more than one drawing at a time. It makes moving the drawings more tedious. Also, it can be hard to recenter on a certain area of the sheets, and usually can only be fixed by scrolling extremely out and in. Not exactly a time saver. The program also seems sort of out dated by the looks of it, but it may be less resolution and user friendly to save on the memory it takes up on a computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When the Drawings come to me they are already completed usually, but they are easier to edit than in other programs we use. Since the drawings are a grouping of lines instead of a connected shape and parts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Table is not user friendly like as familiar CAD software. Looking same but not satisfied. I expect should be like as familiar CAD software. if possible.

In over all Tamil Nadu Corporation Building Plan Approval Authority using private supporting program based on familiar CAD software. While they are using ActCAD, getting Table error problem.

All own Lisp program could not use directly from familiar CAD software, we have to revise something for ActCAD (Actually this is not a problem) and also LSP file compiling is not available like as .FAS, .VLX

FIELD - some of the field category is not working and also can't edit or modify from familiar CAD software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a professional Civil Engineer my over all review result is EXCELLENT. I can strongly recommend to all (2D & 3D) CAD users.

I realize good software with best market price and who ever using non genuine software can shift here genuine licensed version with ActCAD India Product License certificate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DDLModes (Layer dialog box) suddenly dis appear, I don't know what happened. ActCAD supporting team well responded immediately. I appreciate them.

Benefits mean, I realize good software with best market price and who ever using non genuine software can shift here genuine licensed version with ActCAD India Product License certificate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately this CAD software is less popular in industry. If you are looking to market your CAD skills many employers have never even heard of Inventor. However, many of the skills you can learn through practicing with Inventor can easily translate to other CAD software. This program also allows you to turn your 3D CAD design into a drawing file comparable to solidworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I highly recommend this software if you are a student or beginner looking to get into CAD. This is a super affordable software that includes all the basics you need for projects or drawings. Very comparable to much more expensive software. Lots of package options for both students, home users, and professionals. I really enjoyed using this program and have found it to be incredibly useful. They are always updating their software and are constantly improving their interface and options. While Inventor may not be as popular as other CAD software, it certainly is not obsolete and it is easy to find literature and how-to information online that will help guide you through. Inventor supports engineering analysis, work instruction , accurate BOM information, and improved submittal information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As mentioned previously, Inventor is great for educational purposes. It is a budget friendly option and if you are a college student you can get a version of the software for free. This is great for home users designing things to be printed on a 3D printer or if you are looking to quickly mock something up. I've used this for several projects in which I can model my diy project prior to building. This can be super handy for making blueprints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wish it was updated with more brushes but now that it's free I can't complain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Just download it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've become a better artist because of the software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the errors especially the isogen errors. It takes me a while to figure out what the problem is because the error message is quite vague. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have started to work for my first project in CADWorx after a 30 minutes lesson given to my by one of my coleagues.

I recommend to anyone interested to try it for at least 10 days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am using Cadworx for piping design: from creating the specific database to 3D modeling, 3D model integration, preparing the model for stress analysis with Caesar, isometric generation (including I-Configure projects), P&IDs, generation of bills of materials, creating 2D sections for erection details.

It saves a lot of time and resources, can be used for various types of projects, from basic to very complex ones, and the accuracy is so high the pipes were perfectly fitted on site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to take a sketch or markup and export it so that the elements remain editable vectors, rather than as a whole rasterized image, is very limiting within a workflow. The level of polish, while pretty good for a brainstorming tool, just doesn't cut it for anything other than whiteboarding. Paper is also fundamentally limited by its platform choice. iOS is great, and while this isn't a review of that platform, even as a daily driver of the platform I recognize that having Paper be truly cross-platform would radically transform its usefulness outside of very particular settings. Get this onto Android and Windows. Even better, get this into a full featured web-app. Give this the multi-user collaboration of Google Drawings, and see what a potential game changer it could be for planners and designers. Add in the ability to select out fully vectorized elements and take those into other applications for refinement or final presentation. Give us the next step. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the end of the day, it's an app. If they make it more, and build-in collaboration and platform independence, it could be a wonderful service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my work as a designer, Paper gives me a great idea sketchbook that I can use when sitting next to a client or when mirroring to a display. In my work as a project manager, Paper gives me a quick workflow or process whiteboard that I can take with me anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm one of those advanced users who will occasionally miss that .5% In order to protect the company some command aliases are different, so you have to spend a little time learning it. Plot settings are a little clunky but for the much lower cost it's worth dealing with. *update plot dialog and settings are much improved for 2020 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you're a student or an amateur, I highly recommend Drafsight If you are a small business who works in 2D only needs an occasional bit of 3D drafting the paid version with it is worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Draftsight gives me an affordable platform for working from home or on the road. Another great plus is that it works on Linux. UPDATE: Support for Linux has been discontinued so I will be investigating Bricscad for my personal laptop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downside of SmartDraw is the price of the yearly membership. When you are a school and you are needing to add software to enhance both in-person and remote learning the bills can add up. It would be nice if you were able to buy a site license that available based on the current version. Instead of paying the yearly fee of close to $3,000 dollars. I am sure that after we learn more and integrate it into more of our classes the value will increase and make the price not feel so heavy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Students are able to create and review electrical schematics. The Interior Design and architecture classes were able to create and edit blueprints. The shift to remote learning was one that we in CTE struggled with as the selling point to our programs and classes were the hands-on aspects. Smartdraw gave us some of the hands-on activities we were looking for in order to continue the theory and keep the students engaged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Interface looks like old age and needs modernization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Get your self registered and explore the quick possibilities of viewing and checking the models and drawings..

The Sectioned options are also available for to view along with the measuring options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I wanted to open a 3D modeled part or some drawings real quick just to see and give feedback about it , this is very helpful in just showing the views of all the part both in model and in drawing. Even we can measure and check the dimension of the parts ..

The loading of the software is also quite short. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is definitely old-school when you compare to AutoCAD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This software is only useful in transportation industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The DWG conversion is not great. The custom workspace doesn't export properly from older to newer versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to use. Ideal for quick presentations. MAC platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use it daily to produce construction drawings, presentations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The OpenSCAD code editor is not very versatile as it does not provide code assist or on-the-fly syntax validation.

It would be nice if the editor could be ported to a more modern IDE environment such as eclipse or VSCode.

The programmatic nature of OpenSCAD makes it best suited to 3D designers with some programming experience.

A limiting factor when using parts libraries is that OpenSCAD's editor does not handle multiple files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Explore parts libraries that are available, organize your parts in a modular fashion, and avoid hardcoded numerical values. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Building reusable part libraries. For example a recent project was about designing parametric electrical ducts, of varying lengths and shapes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool its cool and easy to learn especially if your the user of other Solid tools or other similar CAD products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solid Edge provides Mechanical Engineers with various 3D design capabilities and the ability to provide great Mechanical 2D drawings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy creating Mechanical 3D models and 2D documents for the Electrical Engineering projects and also on presentations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is bit technical tool. So in the beginning it seems bit complicated. So in order to have complete hold of it you need to learn properly. In addition it would be better if it could extract the information from the PDF files because other similar tools can do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is the best CAD platform. Whenever I compare it with other similar tools than the pricing is really good so I will suggest you to try it once. It is available in various plans you can easily choose the one accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Free CAD is my daily need to meet the challenges. Through this software I have enhanced the productivity of my production department because the models helped us in critical analysis of the process and only through this tool we were in the position of optimizing the trouble shots.
