Love the product and support. Been with Autodesk for 30 years and they treat me like dirt. This is the best alternative to ACAD and you don't have to pay an arm and a leg every year.

I Have Been a Cad Drafting User Since 1982, Architectural Drawings… In 2018 I Switched to progeCad 2019 Professional and Have Been Using it Ever Since… The Biggest Difference I Noticed Right Away was the Speed you Could Save in Creating Drawings and the Ease Using the Program… AutoCad Has Always Been Cumbersome and Had to Much Data with it’s Program When Downloading…. Files Were Always to Big, Not Only to Download, But Also to Load to Begin Working with Specific Drawings, Along with Too Many Crashes, for the Need to Re-Cover Drawings All- the -Time!!! AUTO CAD HAS ALWAYS REQUIRED TOO MUCH MEMORY TO RUN AS COMPARED TO progeCad…. Lastly, You Don’t NEED To Pay $1,000’s of Dollars to Have a Better Working Cad Program With progeCad…. It Provides All the Tools Needed and Then Some to do the Job!!! Tony D.

My experience so far is nothing but great. I love how my old file from AutoCAD works seamlessly. The only thing that I notice sometimes is when I open my cad file, My Text seems distorted momentarily. But when I regenerated the file is okay. It could be my old drawings is corrupted. Other than that. It works Great and I love it. My only wish for the company is to expand more tutorial on you Tube, to gain more user knowledge. at the moment it is only handful of them out there.

I can only give 5 stars 6 or 7 might be a bit closer. Cost aside (which is always a big factor) the software works very well and seems to work wit little issues. I have been using for 5 weeks (30 days free and 7 after a purchase) and there are little issues. All of the features seem to work well it is just a matter of time before you figure out all of the "little" things most of the commands are the same as the "other" software some are slightly different and you have to have a bit of a work around. One thing that is easier with the other software is rotating blocks as you enter them. Since I enter multiple blocks that are the same the work around is simple you insert one from the block palette then use the block insert command (from the ribbon) and you can rotate each object as you input it. I very simple work around and works well.

After years of AutoCAD, ProgeCAD fits like a favorite sweater! All the controls are familiar, and there is almost no learning curve. Bonus, it's much more affordable! And for the 3D printer crowd it does DXF files.

So far I really love this software, and the menu and command structure, which is nearly identical to AutoCAD. And you can't beat the price!

Well, I've been away from ACAD for about 3 years. I'm sure I'll be happy. I always resisted the overloaded top ribbon. But that was true of ACAD, before even PROGECAD. I'm sure that with time, I'll have this set up looking more familiar. I did ACAD for over 40 years, and I never really appreciated the upgrades. I like that I could even go to pre Ribbon, but I'm not that bad. Note that it even included Express Tools, very nice. It's great that this program is mine forever, that's a big deal. Anyway, the program came, installed no problem, very nice. I just have to work on me. I notice that there are some lessons I can take, great! I'll do it. Thanks, Paul H.
