What I like progeCAD so far: commands similar to autocad
What I like progeCAD so far: -Very similar software to AutoCAD in comparison to other programs I tried out. BricsCAD is a very close 2nd. The key difference is Bricscad is very difficult to plot, however bricscas doesn't crash as much, or does not crash at all for that matter. bricscad ability to open files from exployer as a seperate running program like autocad is awesome, and a lot more affordable; at roughly $100 a year, it's a major plus. -progecad ability to snap to hatches is biggest plus -perpetual license, not like Autocad&others is key MAJOR DISLIKES - I was under the impression when I bought progeCAD, I would be able to load it on my pc and laptop, and use it interchangeably (not at the same time) without having to uninstall the program and reinstall it every time I use. (fyi, pc is windows 10 and laptop is winddows 11) considering a refund. -It crashes everytime I open the file from windows exployer every morning when I start working. -When I have progeCAD open, I can't open another cad file from windows exployer without bringing the entire file as a block. It's fustrating that I have to open the thru progecad and do a copy and paste with certain blocks from follow up file. -The mail symbol flashing, on bottom right corner is fustrating. I open it to resolve missing attachments, and the list never goes away or update properly. It would be good that when I detach the jpg, pdf , etc; the list would update to reflectthe change. Resolve Action is still required and won't go away until you close the program and open it again. -I wish you could uninstall and attach cad, pdf, images from the image manager, or xref manager, instead of opening the Reference Manager to do so. - Editing any lengthy text, like general notes, is very fustrating. I can't set the indent parameters without making a mess of the text, can't add bullets, etc. -Other various minor items as well. -RRC
