ARCHLine.XP: Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Feature rich, targeted at smaller practices with a focus on interior design. Outright purchase option. Very easy and simple to use. The software takes features from various well-liked CAD software and combines it into a single flexible but easy to use package. Cons Nothing works properly, commands don't function as intended. Parts of model disappear for no reason at any time they like. Models corrupt easily - the accepted fix for this is to delete and start again. Not that I ever managed to complete a project in order to use it, but the sheet layout system is rudimentary. Distributors charge for support as an add on option. It could still be improved for larger more bulky projects. The software is great for small-medium projects but still needs to work on better overall cohesion in documentation. However, this doesn't hinder it's performance.	ARES Commander: Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Our company has been using AutoCAD before for more than 10 years. We found ARES Commander looking for cost savings and Perpetual licenses. Our 6 users could switch almost instantly. We liked also the ability to work on two computers or more. But most interestingly we see how year after year ARES is introducing new features for cloud, mobile and BIM that are making a big difference for us. Cons The software and the help files are in French but all the tutorial videos to learn new features are in English.
