    Incredibly frustrating bit of software. Extremely unstable. 100% reproducible crash with the loft tool. Unintuitive interface. Trying to simply rotate a sketched part 90deg along an axis almost never gives expected results. I did it once by accident. Simple functionality is hidden or poorly labelled. Mouse control for zooming and panning is horribly unintuitive and doesn't work anything like any other 3D modelling or CAD package.

    I was really excited about this program. It looks to be a great start on full featured CAD. All of my work must be done in Imperial units, however. I have no choice. I can not use metric. Please add imperial units to your program. All the functionality in the world is useless to me because you only work in metric.

    Crashed constantly when going into quick preview mode. Online workaround to disable quick preview did not work.

    If you work in standard units (not metric) DO NOT bother downloading this program. The idiots that built this software didnt take into account that the number one country in the world works in standard units

    I found the program to be useless for creating anything new. Well I did manage to create a box but all I could do was pan around the lovely gray box. I could not find any tools which which to do anything else. Was this intended as just a viewer or what? Can some one teach me? Otherwise I'll stick to Amapi3D v6.
