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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The price is very competitive, as a 2D Cad program it does all you could want.
  • Low price and compatibility with CAD files.
  • Works for CAD, has some AutoCAD like features and can type commands from AutoCAD shortcuts so easy to use if had AutoCAD background.

Cons

  • Once it starts to crash, it gets worse and worse, trying to get help from 3DS is (or was,I’m my case) a complete & utter waste of time. Never even had the decency to reply, wether they could help or not. You have to assume NOT as they didn’t reply. Awful experience!
  • The application crashes all the time and you lose unsaved work, plus the time to restart the application. Horrible technical support.
  • No SUPPORT for paid version other than support groups. As free version, support was typical. When changed to pay only version - there is basically not support.
