CarelCad 15

Post by KIDTech »

I can get this for $30, who else uses this and what are your thoughts on it? I am currently on year two of my 3 year ACAD license. I know ACAD pretty well and do everything from my mechanical designs to art in it. Thanks in advance for help.

Have you looked at Draftsight?
I am an Autocad user, work and play and still use it but researched other softwares and Draftsight seems the most similar for commands, etc so the switchover should be easier.

I have AutoCAD LT 2014 & you are really hard pressed to find any difference between it & Draftsight.

In a lot of cases Draftsight will open DXF files that AutoCAD will not . . .

Had I known before I would have never bought AutoCAD . . .

And yes, I have worked on AutoCAD for over 20 years . .
